Realistically thinking

- Start date
I don't think so either. Therefore, as much as I hate it, we've got to make a coaching change and start all over again.
Everyone is overreacting a bit. We certainly aren't good, but there are some average teams on our schedule.
Bowling Green - While they have done some good things, Maryland is also not good. They also are not going to take anyone by surprise anymore. And by the way, Bowling Green lost to Memphis today. We should beat BG.
@ Michigan State - Yeah, no.
Minnesota - Minnesota has been tough to read so far. They put up a good fight against TCU, but always hard to judge a first game. Played decent the next game too. Today, looked underwhelming. They do have a good defense, which is troublesome.
@ Wisconsin - Yeah, no.
Nebraska - They have certainly not been impressive, but they have time and talent to improve. Their physical skills alone will be tough to match.
Illinois - Their first two games weren't against much, but they looked good. However, they got destroyed today at UNC. This is probably one of our best 2 options for a win.
@ Northwestern - Will be interesting to watch this NW team this year. I don't know that we'd get 'dominated' by them, but they're a better team.
@ Iowa - Iowa traditionally gets better as the season goes. Not a good sign.
IU - They look terrible, but they do have an offense. Not sure we could keep up.
Ibodel, take out of the sand!!!! This team may win one more game if they are lucky! Give up 51 to VT!!!!!!!!!!!! Atleast that to BG next week! They will pack it in for the rest of of the season!!!!!!! Game.set.match..!!!!!!!!!Our beloved strengths........OUR Secondary!!!! SUX ...against the pass.........LB......suck against the run..............we flat out suck!!!!!!!!!!!!! PERIOD!!!!!!!!!
pboiler18 - you above most have been the DH most staunch supporter. You have called many fans out for their lack of supporting DH.
What changed you mind or given you a change of heart? After all 4 wins in 2 y
Early on it was poor talent. Now it's clearly poor coaching. No other way to rationalize it.
Going back to rooting for my alma mater and ignoring this dogshit team. Not even semi-entertaining to watch.
Yeah, VT is a 7-9 win P5 team but we easily could be too if we played offense to score and not try to miraculously eek out 10 yards for an occasional first down.

You realize Purdue's recruiting classes have been in the bottom of the Big Ten? Purdue's talent level has actually probably gotten worse.
I've been quite critical of the program, but I'm also realistic. Everyone goes all crazy about how awful we are after these kind of games, then we win a couple and people say "we're improving!"...I'm not playing the schizo expectations game.
The fact of the matter is Purdue SHOULD beat a team like Bowling Green. Does it mean they will? No. But guess what, Purdue's favored to win in Vegas. Not by much, but it is.
So will I come back on here and be so impressed if we beat BG? I won't. But some people will start talking about how impressive it is if we do.
Purdue is now the 'DOG according to Vegas. Never a good sign when the Power 5 team is a Home 'DOG.
No, it's not. But think about it - the line opened with Purdue as a favorite and a lot of people jumped on a team that has "upset alert" written all over it.
But again, I'm not going to be shocked if we lost. However, I will also not trumpet it as a great win if we do win.
