He said pretty good analysis of "why Painter teams have struggled in the tournament." What you are talking about has nothing to do with that. You're talking about the intricacies of this year's team. Yes their analysis of that is weaker.

The name-calling, man. Your ego is typing these sentences, not your true self. Come on. We're all Purdue fans here.
You appear to be a black and white thinker, but reality is not black and white.

Any Purdue fan I would want to be friends with would appreciate our basketball program and coach. Those that are here to continuously bash those things because they are pouting about NCAA tournaments in the past because they can't handle their emotions deserve the label given them.
I love the word "bash". It sounds like we're hunting baby harp seals with clubs.
I don't set goals for people where I have no input to there performance. Every year you say you set your own personal goal for them, then throw a Momma DGL-like temper tantrum when they don't meet your goal. Even to the point of wishing their top recruit decommits so that Painter gets fired.
You epitomize an entitlement attitude, thinking you deserve something you haven't earned. Now, if you ever pony up the $1 million you claim you gave toi the NIL, you might have an argument.
Blowfish is the lead cheerleader for the small Fire Painter band.
Maybe raise your boy better. It's adorable that you are always there to stand up for him.
He is much more known for moving the goalposts than he is for his mea culpas. If you're not new here, you would know that.
OSU did the right things as far as trying to eat clock with the 2-2-1 or even another zone. That is a good blue print as a starting point. So is being effective in the mid range game against Purdue. That said there was more to the OSU game than what most saw. That is all I will and should say and don't see a good reason to say more. Let's just call the OSU lost maybe a different issue...
When the season if over...maybe. I don't see a problem going forward and only mention it to state that there might have been things contributing to poorer play in the OSU game. remind me in a few months and I'll see what I might say and how I might say it. That said...it is water over the damn at this time
It really has nothing to do with defending him. I don't even agree with him many times. Its your obsession with him that I noticed. "He said zach and braden wouldn't be good. He said this and that about Painter. He moves the goalposts." Who gives a shit. People are allowed to be wrong. Let it go. You just say the same shit over and over rehashing meaningless points. It looks to you like I'm always standing up for him, because for the most part I enjoy his posts that I disagree with more than I enjoy your posts that I do agree with.
It provides no benefit today, but would only serve as a distraction and should be behind close doors. I only brought it up to say the OSU game was a bit different loss than the other two..."maybe?????"He COULD tell you.....but then.....
Making 4 out of the last 6 sweet sixteens is “tourney success” by any measure, at a non-blueblood program.
Still wish that Colvin and Catchings were going somewhere else?
You are what your actions say you are.
Folks who cry on the internet and call for Painter’s firing and wishing top recruits would decommit, after an NCAA loss, are acting like emotional fanboys.
You should see the white board in my office. The first 4 goals are all Purdue basketball related. It's the damnest thing...
As for entitlement, who are you to determine what I've earned and haven't earned? I know you're just happy to be here, come on man, get outside your comfort zone a little bit.
I don't want Painter fired any more (definitely after last years Round 1 debacle I did). But...flame out in the S16 with this team and I think the questions will only get louder.
Lil Andy has a issue with anyone that has a different point of view or opinion than he does. And if that opinion is anything but heaping praise for Painter, then all hell breaks loose.
No. I'm glad Colvin is here. Hope he stays and hope Catchings stays with his commitment as well.
I've been wrong before. I'll be wrong again. It doesn't bother me. That's the beauty of being a weatherman or posting on an internet forum.
I think it depends. If they play well and lose by 2 to, say, Auburn in the sweet 16 that's different than getting taken out of your game and choking against a 13 seed that you would have beaten by 30 in November.
Just won back to back B10 championships. His 5th.
The 6 winningest recruiting classes in school history have come during the Painter tenure.
I am on board regardless of what happens in any tourney, this year or to the day he retires.
But, aren't you being a bit hypocritical?
You're name-calling (which stems from an emotional reaction), and letting another person rile you up on the internet. Are you not also being an "emotional fanboy," just with a different position?
Huh? How is that relevant?
Are you capable of actual discussion, or just ad hominem attacks?
There is a lot of value in learning from people that we only agree with 50-60% of the time
You continue to show a lack of understanding of context. In a thread he started to continue his multi-year long crusade for Purdue being unable to win a National Title with a post-centric offense, you want to focus on his single post where he hopes Purdue wins it all. (Of course he does, assuming he is a Purdue fan.)
But there is an easy fix for you to enjoy yourself more, which seems to be your main concern. Block me. Then you won't have to defend him from me disagreeing with him.
LOL. You have never seen me heap praise on Painter. Never.
Your idea of "criticizing" Painter is you demanding he be fired. It's been going on for at least 10 years. When you throw a temper tantrum after a loss, you really expose yourself. And my challenge for you has always been the same. "And replace him with who?" That seems to upset you, because your response is always something to the effect of whining that I don't accept criticism about Painter. Snowflake response.
That's the spirit. Understand it's not my goal to see that you "enjoy" my posts more than someone else's.
And when you say who is better, there is no answer just “I’d give you a list and you wouldn’t like it”…still no list
Purdue can become a blueblood program
being in a Power 5 conference, great recruiting territory,
near Chicago, etc. Times change, and IU certainly is not what they
used to be. Duke certainly became a blueblood once Coack K got rolling.
Michigan State was nothing until Izzo took over. Why not Purdue?
There really is no excuse. Purdue is fully capable of becoming a blueblood.
I hope there are many more Smith, Jones, Colvin, Harris, Cox, Catchings type
players to come because that's what Purdue needs to become a blueblood.
Guys that can dribble, pass, shoot, create their own shot, run, jump,
athletic. A cold shooting night from 3 would mean nothing to these guys.

Yes. I believe Purdue can become the new Villanova. Have to get to a Final Four though, probably twice, for that to happen. Just get one first.
One game at a time!
