They replaced Virginia with kennesas st.


Thinking about it, more iu fans will probably go to the game to see IU play Kennesaw st.

I know you diehard Purdue fans hate the idea of playing weaker opponents.

But casual fans like myself love going to a game to see my favorite team blowing out the opponent.

Ask the guy or girl down the street. Would they rather see a 55-7 blowouts? Or a 16-14 game? I want to watch the blow out every time. It gives guy like RUDY a chance to play

They’re an awful program. They have to do whatever they can to manufacture wins. And guess what? I wish we would do the same. Had they kept Louisville on the schedule and lost, they would’ve missed the playoffs. As a kid I watched us beat notre dame at ross ade in person during the Brees years, and I still wish we would take them off the schedule. Probably going to be another 60-0 beat down this year.

They understand the math. Very quickly moving towards a situation that if you finish in the top half of the BT or SEC conferences, you're going to most likely get a playoff berth.

I can understand people loving to see Purdue pull off a victory over a top ranked team.

I was there in the 70’s when Purdue shocked the world beating Michigan 16-14 or 14-13 or whatever.

But the truth is, while upsetting Michigan shocked the world beating, it was a very boring game.

If rather see Purdue blowing somebody out with 85 yard td runs and 55 yard Hail Mary passes. And kick off returns for tds and interceptions run back for 6z.

Blowouts are fun! And the tailgating afterwards is fun.

Winning 16-14 is boring

Much rather see a close game than a blowout. Blowout's serve no purpose for the team or the fans. And if Rudy ain't good enough to crack the line up, he doesn't deserve time on field.
