current approach to governing. Purdue is using a representative republic among coaches that are believed to be in a better position to make the right decisions and make those for us. Some consider that obsolete! Some choose to want more of a pure democracy it appears where everyone's opinions are of "equal value" and recognizing that total vote is not counted due to this republic representation. We have the electronic means to accomplish this where we could count EVERY vote and determine the outcome. However, there could be some that would only want Purdue people to vote on Purdue things and we shouldn't disenfranchise others just because they don't have a Purdue verification. If IU fans benefit by their choice, why should it only be contained to Purdue people?

Although the winning sentiments may only obtain a percent or so with rounding due to so many opinions, we will at least have a winner. Punishment should then be handed out by requiring previous coaches to sit in the stands to better understand not only their demise, but why their situation was in error. This needs written somewhere because coaches current and past many times avoid those stands in the midst of fans.

Seriously, there are a lot of legitimate questions people have from all stripes and reasonable reflection about each in a logical manner is something to seek.

What on earth are you talking about?

but we could start a groundswell where everyone puts in only $5 and use our power to change things...they can worry about paying for it later. The current system no longer works for us.

I would have to ask the collective because none of us is as dumb as all of us. I just started having a few sips of Jack ...and well, I don't know how to explain it...

Sounds almost like Godspeak to me. I love it . I'd have one with you TJ but my wife won't let me this early in the day

I don't know? I didn't think things had to make sense here...just post them. Maybe a few more drinks and I'll understand. I just hope Do Dah Day isn't drunk reading such...not wanting to contribute ya know.

Well, I can't take credit...it all came to me one day in a vision at Purdue as I was attending St Thomas Areeseas. Kneeling in the pugh I had visions from CK Chesterton and C.S. Lewis that were perplexing until I started walking across State Street and there I engaged in a discussion with Frank Sheed and like the Blues Brothers I saw the light!

I think the Jack is affecting your motor skills already, you amateur. It's G K Chesterton. Maybe you should switch to scotch. That's where the real intelligence lies . . . just axe me.

true...maybe a bit too much Jack today. I told Kim that if she heard a thunk it was me falling off the second story and I may need a drink to ease the pain.

A thread inspired by Jack makes much more sense than threads inspired by negative emotions. Especially the threads where presumably sober people believe that writing their thoughts will affect the outcome of the season and posters who disagrees with them are to blame for the program's "mediocrity".

We all share in a desire to see Purdue do well in all sports. Doing well may be sustained success for some and others the bright lights...if but for a few weeks, and then the ultimate to have the bright lights in a regular fashion. Although I know VERY FEW that post on this site I consider all friends of the cloth. I may disagree with some posters, but that doesn't mean I dislike that person. It also doesn't mean I'm right or wrong...just a difference of opinion. Still, at times I find myself with a difference of opinion in what is real meaningful data and what isn't, and whether it all comes from the same population for comparison...then again maybe I'm making it more complex than it should be? I think not, but who am I to say I'm right? When those that lash out stating that you or another is settling for mediocracy, perhaps they are just frustrated and somehow associate you with the problem.

Reality says none of us has an opinion that really makes a difference, but it may be therapeutic for some to get off their chest what they feel. Being the simpleton I am it is easy for me to understand I have an opinion, few really care and it actually makes no difference. There is nobody in this forum I wouldn't want to meet, but I know that is not a two way street. Now, back to Jack as this is starting to make too much sense and I have a rep to maintain!

Ya know there are times a coach does something...some behavior...some comments and all of a sudden "the players" gather around their brothers and forget their differences. I've seen that happen before...

Give me a call ...

Give me a call ... perhaps our staying at #18 this week will slow some of the diarrhea down.

I'll find your old email address and send you a note. Was off three days last week and a bit behind today...

okay...when I mentioned the coach doing whatever...I did notice less knocking of Purdue basketball and Matt in particular. I have no issue with criticism of Matt, but like a bit of depth and specific reasons why...

Are you still in the W. Laf area?

Nice post. It was very relevant to how I feel sometimes. That’s all I will say because I have put myself on a self imposed time out from the board. I will check in after wins but no way will I even log in after a loss. It’s a shame.

I've got to give TJ props for this thread. It is the only one that makes any sense on this board at this time.

I agree. Almost every player has been cut up and belittled by the "fans"...….all in the name of constructive criticism It's an embarrassment. Personally, I wouldn't piss up any of their asses if their guts were on fire. Anyway, that's not taking the high road I guess, so I shut the hell up...…...
