Poll: Official Favorite Boilermaker of the Painter era

[njm8845]

Painter era - they didn't have enough choices to do a poll from 1980.

Vote for 2. Favorite Player... not best.

Interesting: The top 4 vote getters are my top 4.

Kramer and Hummel for me, with Carsen a very close third.

No Ryan Cline who willed us to the Elite 8?

1. Hummel 2. Midwestern Cowboy.

Dakota was so horrifically underrated it still hurts me. It saddens me he was also left off this list. I will not sleep tonight.

I went with Hummel and Carsen. Robbie was everything you could want in a college player and Carsen was Painters most unique player

 

[purduepat1969]

No Wheeler on the list?

 

[KingofJersey]

Tommy Luce and it's not close

 

[PaBoiler78]

Tommy Luce and it's not close

voted for Carsen and Kramer for different reasons, Carsen for the Wow factor and Kramer just for the consistent hustle and headiness.

 

[Abugabby]

Kramer and Carsen for me. Kramer personified what I think of as a Boilermaker. Smart, tough, competitive, willing to lay it on the line...he would have been an amazing Navy Seal or Green Beret.

Ray Davis

Boiler ball was in a bad, bad place for a couple years there. Ray's work ethic and leadership was invaluable in helping turn things around.

I went with the 2 big men. I am shocked Swanigan only got 1 vote. I thought top 4 for sure.

 

[Summy1]

Hard to pick. Seems unfair to select only 2. Hopefully this list continues to grow in the upcoming years

 

[njm8845]

For how dominant he was, I’m surprised at the relative few number of votes for Johnson.

 

[Russ Ford]

He was my vote. Hell of a ball player.

This poll has 41 fewer votes than the other poll. I expected this one to be more popular.
