Considering your prefrontal cortex never developed, your insults don't mean much.

Based on what they produced here. You have a ****ing sample in your face. Yet you refuse to see it.

OSU offense doesn't revolve around their TE. We had zero receivers anyone with a pulse was going to get targets. Good for klare I guess?

So because good players don't produce under a bad coach, they are bad? Crazy how good David Blough got once he played for Brohm. Almost like coaching matters.

Maybe Walters wasn't the issue. Talent was. Right?

How to Make Boilermaker Chili​

Ingredients​

• Ground Meat – Use a mix of ground chuck and bulk Italian sausage for a rich, meaty flavor.
• Beans – Any bean combo works here: kidney, black, pinto, navy, you name it. I use one can of regular and one in spicy sauce for flavor balance.
• Tomatoes – I use diced tomatoes with juice and tomato paste. This gives the chili that rich, thick tomato base.
• Vegetables – Use yellow onion, garlic, celery, red and green bell peppers, and green chili peppers. Chop them up roughly the right size for an easy bite.
• Bacon Bits – For that crunchy, smoky element.
• Beef Bouillon Cubes and Worcestershire Sauce – For added umami.
• Beer – Don’t worry; it won’t get you drunk. It’ll just lend its malty flavor to the chili.
• Chili Powder and Hot Sauce – This is one spicy chili! Add more or less to suit your tastes.
• Seasonings – Chili powder, dried oregano, ground cumin, dried basil, salt & pepper, cayenne pepper, and paprika.
• Sugar – The sweetness balances the heat and enhances the chili’s flavor even more.
• Corn Chips and Cheddar Cheese – For serving.

1. Brown the ground meat. Add the ground chuck and Italian sausage to a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir to break the meat apart and cook until it’s brown. Drain the excess grease.


2. Add all of the remaining ingredients. Pour the beans, tomatoes, vegetables, bacon, beer, sugar, spices, and seasonings. Stir well to combine.


3. Let your chili simmer. Once it’s boiling, cover the pot and let your chili simmer on low heat for at least 2 hours. Stir the chili regularly, scraping the bottom and sides to ensure even cooking.


The longer it simmers, the better the flavor. If you can, give the chili an extra 30 minutes on the stove!


4. Season more if needed. Taste the chili and season it with salt, pepper, and chili powder, if needed. If you want more hot sauce, spices, and seasonings, this is the time to add them.


5. Serve and enjoy. Ladle boilermaker chili into bowls and top it with corn chips and shredded cheddar cheese. A dollop of sour cream and guacamole is delicious, too.

I made chili this afternoon! Ground beef, pork sausage and steak with a can of kidney beans and a bottle of Yeungling Hersheys. And I had it with Fritos and cheddar cheese! Also like to put a dollop of sour cream on it if it's too hot.

Thanks for the 12K post before things shut down! It's been real. FYI I think my highest post count was actually over on the IU Rivals site, I want to say that thing got as high as 30-40k before they shut it down.

Ever grateful, ever true!

Won’t miss a few posters but this was mostly a good crew. Godspeed!

Well it’s been a long time, perhaps 20 years that I’ve been poking around here. Hopefully the wayback machine or something similar preserves all that dialogue and info for future generations to dive through. They would have glimpses into the news, rivalries and personalities that bantered about Purdue sports over a very long time span.

Thanks to everybody who has had a hand maintaining and moderating this forum over the years, and to everybody who participated regularly for your insights, wit, and commentary.

A lot of insight on this board, mostly truths with some BS sprinkled in. I've always wondered if players, coaches, AD's checked out the board to hear the real unfiltered opinions that most sports writers would never say.

100% they do - coaches, media - they all read here regularly and occasionally allude to it. There have been countless occasions where I’ve seen a hot take or factoid come out of somebody’s butt here and then it gets mentioned by the media. Sometimes that’s because these takes can be collectively very insightful. We mostly all know the old knucklehead Central board got its name from coach Tiller in reference to the online knuckleheads playing Monday morning quarterback.

You raise an interesting point - did the original board really die? Or was it just moved? Although rivals will be gone knucklehead central survives just on another platform.

To me it moved. I've been here since this was called "big ten fan forums" and the days of IU Ken... waaaaaaaaaaaay too long

Point being, things change.. it'll change again and honestly I see the whole thing dying off at some point. There just doesn't seem to be any longevity in the business model anymore that there once was. Between pdcasts/twitter/reddit/facebook/some schmuck with a phone the value is quickly depleting for paid sites.

As sites die off, we'll essentially be forced to congregate in one location for bantering with others.. where that will be.. who knows.

I know some guys boast they can get the same info on Facebook, Reddit, etc., in terms of inside reporting and an active message board I think Knucklhead Central is and will be the place. They just took the football beat reporter and the complete failure of Boiler Upload in terms of paid subscribers despite Travis having a base from H&R just validates the consolidation of congregating fans. As the original $1/yr deal wears off and some fans only using it as news and now can get elsewhere they will continue to lose revenue to your point. I also think the emphasis on transfer and de-emphasis on recruiting especially with so much movement people will lose interest on the recruiting side other than transfer portal news which we can get for free.

What next? Consolidation of the two sites will provide more protected revenue but that will slide. I’ve gotta figure staff will be reduced or at a minimum budgets slashed so no traveling or inside recruiting information. It’s not just here but we are seeing that across journalism, both print and broadcast media.

coming full circle. Just saw the G&B article that they're 2,900 tix short of last year season tix sales. Incredible. I'd love to know how much of those are speculators. Boiler UP!
