I agree. Buried and not to be talked about again (or at least until they start a new discussion on this next subject Fall)
Hunter Johnson
- Thread starter Nerdberts
- Start date
Actually I want to keep hearing Cats fans coming over here to brag about their 46th rated class and why we should be worried.
How's the view there?
Sorry about your bowl humiliation and losing record for the year. Did you happen to catch NU in the B1G championship game or the Holiday Bowl?
NU won the west easily this year by three games, won their third bowl game in a row, and finished in the top 20 for the second year in a row and 3rd time in the last four years.
Congrats to Purdue for making a bowl game.
Why are you here? I guess it must have been a very long winter watching your basketball team.
I’m looking forward to attending our game in Evanston. I assume you’ll be taking our parking pass when we pull into the lot: be sure to say hello.
1 NCAA tourney appearance in the history of their program. Historically the worst P5 basketball program? I have a hard time think of someone else.
Is that you Camel toe? Come up with a new moniker since you got bounced from other stupid posts?
Actually, I think it is good for the Big 10 when NU is good. And Fitz is a great college FB ambassador. Iowa, Minnie, Wiscy, NU, UM...all of those Century-old rough and tumble Midwestern, Great Lakes area 'Great Western Conference' Universities...they always impressed me when Jim Lampley used to run the scores down. Edit: I realize NU was not part of the original Great Western Conference and were a 'late comer' to the Big Ten, but they belong.
Way agree. Northwestern burnishes the B1G's rep as an academic/athletic conference as much as anyone. Fitzgerald is a fit there every bit as much as I think CJB is at Purdue- a perfect reflection of the school's personality.
At this point I have two hopes for the Purdue-Brohm tandem based on the NW-Fitz dynamic:
1- I hope Jeff stays around as long as Pat has (and will) at NW
2- I hope CJB can give us some years as good as the good years CPF has at Northwestern
If these things happen I will be a very happy Boilermaker for years to come.
I believe they came along in the late 40's. The conference that became the Big 10 was a Grampa by then.
You are incorrect rwenger. You may be thinking about Michigan State.

My apologies to all for my ignorance. Hard to believe there were 3 Illinois schools in the beginning. No wonder the founders met at the Palmer House in Chicago. Knowing Northwestern is a charter member makes me respect them all the more.
There were almost 4 as Lake Forest College was also in on the first meeting, but was replaced by Michigan at the second.
Where are the cats fans today? And to think we have fans down on QB play.
Hunter had a few glimmers where he looked the part. He wasn't completely awful by any stretch. A number of this throws were affected by too much adrenaline. The Stanford D also came after him and a number of his throws were rushed. I think he looks the part. His throws look sharp; just high. He ran well on a few plays. Expect the game to slow down for him as the season goes.
I find this refreshing compared to Charlie Spegal. Haha. Both need to die.
Why did we lose the battle for this 5-star? I was actually able to see him torch a high school defense in person when I went to a game with my coworker.
I know he had a rough start against Stanford but imagine how good Purdue's offense would be with him throwing to our talented receivers.
Ah the one that got away

Is this a serious question?
Yes, I saw him numerous times in HS, as well. Very solid athlete, and not just a QB with a strong arm. Was also a part of a state champion relay team (track), if memory serves.
He was a '17 HS grad. He visited (I saw him at a Purdue game). Was offered. I think he was tempted by the Purdue offer, but Brohm really wasn't in the picture when the heat of the recruiting battle was going on.
He was also being courted by one of the top programs in the country. It's understandable why he went to Clempson, even though I thought it was a mistake at the time.
When he made the decision to leave Clempson, he wasn't going to go somewhere else that he'd get beat out of the starting QB role, so he took the safe route and went to NU. No way was he going to come to Purdue and compete against the quality QBs in the mix.
Ex Wildcat players say Hunter is just awful and that is why Fitz didn’t name a starter early.
Hunter sucks.
Hunter sucks.
His mom is going through chemo battling breast cancer. I think we need to give this thread a rest.
It's not about him. It's about reminding their fans not to be entitled douches because a little success doesn't erase 80 years of dog shit.
Very simple: Sindelar, Plummer, Piferi, and knowing Brohm was in on additional highly rated QBs.
"This staff truly gets the absolute best out of their players" ...huh?
You are more than welcome to go find a true walk on, who started the summer as the fourth string, and only had small school offers that had two back to back game winning drives in the final two minutes. I would call that the definition of getting the most out of their players. If you are a quarterback, there is nowhere better. Moore is a Heisman candidate and Bell is arguably the best freshman wide receiver. They are adding Carr on top of that next year to an already pass happy offense.
There aren’t a lot of teams that could have dealt with the injuries Purdue has this year to their most important players. They are one of the youngest teams in the nation as a result. I said what I said.
Please explain how that’s not true. We have the following starting players out with injury right now:
"This staff truly gets the absolute best out of their players" ...huh?
QB Sindelar
QB Jack Plummer (2nd String)
WR Rondale Moore (All-American)
WR Sparks
DT Lorenzo Neal (All-BIG caliber)
LB Bailey (All-BIG caliber)
LB Cornel Jones
RB Tario Fuller (just returned)
Even with these people out Brohm is winning some BIG games. Very few teams could lose the number and caliber of players we have and still be in contention for a bowl game this late in the season. He’s winning with a walk-on QB for God’s sake.
At least now it's clear why you only have 1 "likes".
you're attempting to reason with the unreasonable.
