IU is 4-0 for the first time in the school's history and has a first-year head coach.

Convenient how the narrative has changed, at least in your mind. The consensus on these boards were that it would take years to recover from the Hazell era and that Brohm was inheriting very little to work with. Then everyone realized that the players weren't that bad when they were coached and put in positions to succeed. And I do believe you'll find that Hazell's recruiting classes weren't ranked very highly. Maybe you could say that recruiting wasn't his only/biggest problem, but it was certainly an issue that seemed to get worse as the poor seasons stacked up.

Now you're talking rank when before you were talking talent. Before you were suggesting our struggles were due to a lack of talent. When it's pointed out that both NIU and Miami (OH) were both far more competitive with Notre Dame than we were, now you're saying that NIU is more talented because they won and got ranked?

This isn't a video game. Talent is part of the equation but there is much more that goes into winning and losing than that. You can look at our basketball program, and most recently Zach Edey, as proof of that. Our football program just happens to be proof of that on the other end of the spectrum. We may not have more talent than Notre Dame, but we have enough to be far more competitive than we were if we were well coached.

I have no idea what you are talking about. I never said Brohm was starting from scratch. I never said Hazell was a bad recruiter. He got key players in key positions. The defense wasn't great and the line had holes which Brohm patched with some WKU transfers.

The differences are:

1. Brohms recruiting his last two seasons was crap. Like, ya know, he had checked out and was on his way out. Line, receivers, linebackers, QB...there was precious little other than a stellar walkon running back and a legacy player.

2. NIL changes the entire game. Talent is a major part of the game, particularly at key positions. QB, lines, linebacker, receiver. You can get away with less talent at some positions you can't at others. We don't have an alpha receiver. We don't have much dline pressure. Our linebackers are shit. Not surprisingly we get run on, can't get stops, and our passing game sucks. Town of those three issues were present before Brohm left.

Comparing basketball to football is insane. There's a ton of turnover from bad to good you can have in basketball because you only need one dominant player in basketball. Football requires a LOT more.

Again even if they have a good season, they've had good seasons before, and it's led to what?

What does it need to lead to? A good season kind of stands on its own.

you don't think Purdue would be 4-0 against that schedule?

Purdue could not beat ucla on road and not sure they would beat fiu.

Just look at your posts in response to mine. Some of you replied with 10 posts to my one! None of your posts seemed to be happy posts. They were angry and very argumentative and defensive.

Now go to the IU board. There are a lot of happy people.

And no, I’m not a Trump supporter, so I don’t really care about crowd size. If the tickets are sold, why should anybody care about crowd size?

Everybody here was so happy after the Indiana st game. Now you’re all a bunch of grumpy Gus!

As for the basketball team going to the nit. If we won it, people would be happy. If we lost, people would be screaming for the coach’s head. If you want to see some really unhappy people, go to the basketball side and read all the posts after the UConn game. There were a lot of very unhappy people in this forum. Second place was just not good enough for some of you.

And you forgot one thing. This forum does not represent the normal Purdue fan. It represents that 1% of the fan base that knows everything and argues with everybody that doesn’t know everything! Take your anger down to the local Walmart and talk about fcs requirements and see the look on their faces!

Winning makes people happy and sells beer and pizza. Losing does not! Just go to your local pizza king and ask them!

Or just continue to be a grumpy Gus And argue with people who disagree with you!

Hi sI Boiler. My son says hello! He stopped in carterville for his 10th high school reunion! You remember him! He played defensive back and receiver. If only he had caught that ball, you’d have your state championship and you’d be happy. But alas, he didn’t and carterville lost. Boy was there a lot of hatred and angry carterville people that night. Sorry my son lost the game for you!

I have no idea who we played. I just remember we lost. The same thing happened in basketball. We lost. Forget the 20 win season. We lost in the super sectionals.

And then there was track. We lost that too.

There’s a lot of hatred and anger in the people of Carterville. You can’t accept losing.

Winning games makes people happy and drunk!

Who the fook is this guy?

Who the fook is this guy?

He’s the board laughingstock. I used to feel bad for him but then realized this guy likes to bring it upon himself.
