I agree in that game that played very lackluster. That’s one game though (there were a couple more). Every team, including Purdue, has those types of games. Illinois and Ohio State games last year come to mind for Purdue.Indeed. The last IU game I watched was the Purdue game at Bloomington, the one where Bobby showed up to inspire the team. IU played lack luster, and failed to defend what I thought was a predictable and pedestrian Purdue offense. By the second half start, they looked like they were already beaten. I saw a general lack of enthusiasm by the players, and a coach badly out coached by Matt Painter. IU had better talent but failed to play well as a team.
Now, that’s just my observation, but I think it is somewhat accurate. I suppose all those issues could turn around by next season, but I wouldn’t bet on it. Things like team moral, and coaching acumen don’t reverse overnight. At least Tom Creans teams played with enthusiasm and energy. They had to, in order to overcome his wildly inept coaching. Archie is a better coach from an X and O perspective... maybe. However, he doesn’t seem to energize his team very well.
In any case, I do wish IU good luck next year. I want them to finish high in the BIG, just one place below Purdue.
not the ones I've seen.
I’d say that’s too much of a binary choice.
Yeah, I had the old school white lace up braces that weighed about three pounds each. My daughter plays vb and they all wear braces that have the Velcro wraps on the outside like that picture but are essentially an updated version of the old school lace up braces underneath.not the ones I've seen.
I know what you're talking about, but mine look like they're WW2 issue.
A few years back my daughter turned her ankle and it didn't look anything like mine. Her brace was something like this:
Yeah, I just saw that. Mike Pegram changed his pick to Purdue at 5:25am this morning.
So basically the same thing you do when a recruit doesn't come to Purdue. I'm starting to see a trend here.
Or we just move onto the next guy. This one stings for sure, but there are other fish. Congrats on the pickup.
It’s like that on every forum when you lose out on a recruit, including this one. There are a vocal few that are freaking out.
Exceptionally accurate and well said. Thank you! It has taken the honest approach to slowly get some recruits and get better. Now the word is out just how honest Matt is when so many still blow smoke. I'm elated for Matt and the staff that work so hard to only find them losing out at the last second and to now have a quality person stay true. Purdue basketball and football are both improving as is the campus. There are a LOT of positives going on at Purdue.
I like how kids in this area, including Louisville in this with Southern Indiana, are starting to see the benefits of Purdue. I think the Brohms coming to Purdue has helped with that. I realize that the Brohms are across the river, but Rondale is an Indiana boy. He grew up in New Albany.
And that applies to this forum as well. When a recruit chooses elsewhere other than us there are a couple that basically lose their mind and get very irrational about the whole thing.
Nice deflection attempt but no but I am starting to think your a certain poster that frequents that site however. Your demeanor fits his quite well actually.
Your friend will be very disappointed that he's only a 4. Maybe he/she should find a more successful team to follow.
