Optimism?

Someone give me a reason to continue wasting my time watching Purdue football
Cut the cord! I dropped season tix and JPC after 20+ years and it is absolutely liberating.
Figured that was the only way to get someone's attention - but have yet to receive a follow up from ticket office or JPC. Guess they don't really need my money.
Until something major changes, I'm done

Needs to happen in mass. One or two here and there won't get the attention you are seeking.

Really shows you how in the stone age Purdue's athletic dept is. Burke doesn't want to pay someone 12 bucks an hour to follow up with a 20+ year JPC member.

Bean counter with no vision or perspective.

True but It had to start somewhere or they will never get the message
 
It is good old-fashioned arrogance. Arrogant managers ultimately get their organizations in trouble. Burke knew better than the marketplace and chose to spend huge amounts of money on sports with no ROI. Now the marketplace is responding by turning away. Shocking how that happens.

We will see if Daniels can figure out he has a problem. He seems disinterested. Of course, he has a wad of cash in the bank so he really does not have to worry about much of anything.

He does have extensive experience ruining steel companies, that takes vision no?
 
Really you need reasons to watch Purdue football? That's mind blowing to me. I'll help you out.
Great reasons to watch:
1. Guy that gets the most carries on the team also gets to throw all the passes. Hardly any of the passes are for completions, but you get to watch him carry 13 times, for a defense shredding, 11 yards. Dual threat QB's, baby.
2. World's Largest Drum. Boom! Self explanatory. Who doesn't want to see that.
3. With empty seats, easier to find friends/family in the crowd when watching on TV.
4. We have a big drum.
5. Learn to curve your hat in an odd way. Since you'll have plenty of time between the other team scoring and us punting, you'll have time to recurve all your hats just like Hazell. Fashion is important.
6. Riveting halftime speeches. Telling guys to tackle on defense and to make some plays on offense. Who would have ever thought of those cutting edge innovations? Hazell, of course.
7. Did I mention the drum? It's big.
8. We have a pretty sweet punter. Who doesn't love seeing 69 yard punts?
9. Cool to see backups excel. It may be the other team's backup, but damn if we don't make him look like Michael Vick is playing against us.
10. I can't stress it enough, but there's a drum, it's on our sideline, and it's big. I mean really big.

Don't know how to explain it any better than that. I say just watch and see. Heck, we may even complete 40% of our passes next week, for more than 130 yards. Makes me hyped just talking about it.
 
I would only add: a chance to see what horrendous uniform combo our marketing geniuses have concocted to attract those 5 star recruits we're reeling in now - just because of the unis!

We have a drum. But that isn't all we have. We have people hitting the drum that wear shinny silver helmets. We also have one heck of an offensive coordinator. I mean this guy aught to be in the hall of fame for having some of the most creative offenses of all time. We are talking crafty and creative. What is so amazing about Purdue's offensive discoordinator is that he thinks the team has a 1 point IQ and can't learn a new system so he'll continue this offense all season long expecting a different result which will surely not come. And that in itself is the definition of insanity. Last year opposing defenses were calling our plays at the line of scrimmage. Think about that. Why be unpredictable though? If it was WW2 we should have just told Hitler when and where the invasion would begin. Japan should have told the US when and where Pearl Harbor was taking place. Our team's philosophy is by calling the same play 100 times in the game on at least one of those plays the other team will think we are crazy for calling that 99th play call one more time thinking it might get the first down this time.
