Illinois is crapping the bed. We could have been in the cat bird seat going in to next week. Shame on us.

Shame on the coaching staff not being able to control the clock against Penn State and Syracuse. Shame on our coaches and players having no life against Wisconsin and Iowa.
Insane play calling there comes back to bite them with the missed chip shot FG....wow.
Illinois could cash in on this 9th life......inside the 30 with 30 seconds....wow.....some great catches this last drive.
he's prolly one of the 10000 fans that stuck around in a close game
did not get that call at all. I know they don't have confidence in their FG kickers but really

eh, this loss will just get them refocused for next week.
For those of us who have seen special teams' play from the Boilers that was less than special....
It's going to be embarrassing getting beat at Illinois when they're 7-2 and can't come close to filling their stadium. Meanwhile we fill ours and looks like crap.
That's what I'm thinking. The question I have is: can Purdue get refocused after two lackluster efforts?
After two bad losses sandwiched with a bye week this shows me (besides bad coaching) there is a lack of senior leadership on this team. AOC, Durham, where are you? No refocusing going on here. I don't like to be a negative nancy cause I have tickets to the game next week.
Win the last 3 , which feels like pipedream right now, but can be done , and we will probably be in BT championship. I don't believe Iowa or Wiscy can win out, one of them will lose to the other and then need to root for Minny and or Neb.
If Purdue is gonna win out , they better change some things quick
Everyone seemed to have the cheat code on how to score against Purdue.
A very quick one at that..
Ouch..
If Purdue could do that, Minnesota WOULD have a lot to say about the West winner. The Boilers haven't looked too good in over a month if you throw in the bye and the shaky defense against Nebraska. However.......the opportunity is there.....can they pull a rabbit out of the hat?

If Purdue wins Saturday, the team in Indy will be the Iowa -Wisconsin winner. Same as it ever was….
Order has been restored somewhat. Purdue has beaten injured and beat up Iowa secondary's in previous seasons. Purdue could have beaten a very, very young Iowa offensive line this season. That they didn't see the obvious yesterday is baffling and speaks to coaching.
Iowa probably should have beaten Illinois, but see offensive line comment above.
Illinois and Wisconsin are best positioned to win the West this season. Iowa's offensive line probably won't get to where it needs to be as evidenced by yesterday's performance. It was pretty clear to see for those that understand what they are watching.
This season you have Wisconsin, Illinois. Followed in some order by Minnesota and possibly Iowa. Purdue, Nebraska and Northwestern are the remaining teams falling historically where they usually end up excepting Northwestern which has fallen on hard times, but is a better football team than most realize.
Next season based on youth, teams that actually develop players, understand the importance of offensive line play, defense and special teams, order will be restored to what we are used to seeing, which isn't that different then the above, excepting the shuffling of a couple of teams.
Yesterday in the stands it was understandable listening to the fans talking about how Iowa was in a running formation on their first touchdown. They weren't, and it was obvious. What was shocking is that is wasn't obvious to Purdue's defense. Teams just can't consistently win in the B1G, or any D1 level, hoping to catch teams with three deeps starting in the secondary, and not recognizing obvious plays. I guess it works from time to time, but it obviously doesn't work enough to win a B1G division. I mean even last year's win against Iowa was essentially fool's gold, and again, very easy to see for anyone that understands what they're watching.
Using Iowa as an example, since I broke yesterday's game down in the stands, Iowa just hasn't been a very good teams since 2009. They caught some favorable schedules, and did just enough at o line, defense and special teams to take advantage of common sense. Purdue has never been a good team in my recent memory.
It is what it is. You are what your record says you are.
All that has to happen is the home teams to win all the key games.
What are you talking about? Lol, it was full vs. MSU.
Purdue is gonna get cream-pied by Bert and it’s going to be so, so glorious. Have fun playing in Detroit on Dec 26th.
Purdue Fans have done their part and deserve better play!
Come get some crow, chicken shit
Guess you took one up the butt!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don’t think we’ll be seeing that turd resurface
Agree, Tis a pity that he wont have the testicular fortitude.
Did you mean he was going to eat 74 cream pies before the Purdue game ?
I think Mount Bielema would love the Pizza Bowl.
I thought they might use his coat for a tarp over the stadium to keep the wind down
Oopsie!
This post aged worse than that healthy salad in Bielema’s fridge
Gonna actually have some balls and come back to congratulate the better team? Or are you gonna slither away back under your rock like a little wet turd?
But then we wouldn’t be Purdue. Of course we won today. Now watch we will lose next week. Classic Purdue.
