"We are close"......

"We are close"......, says the HC. Yup, we went TOE TO TOE on OUR home field against the second worst team in the Big and almost won. That's what I call progress!!! Eight games in?

We are close, to what, a complete breakdown? The players don't play, the coaches don't coach, an offensive offense and a defense that usually doesn't defend. The only ones that do something right are the fans that fill the stands which deserve much better.

Pretty bad when your best player is the punter, who thank god, is an improvement from last year. The only improvement that I've seen in the last game is that their offense didn't put up at least two scores in the last few minutes of the first half as others were prone to do, but that's more on NW's poor inept offense.

We are close, if not already, being the worst P5 team.

you guys are HILARIOUS. ! When Walters gives excuses for losing, you say he is lying through his teeth and it’s just coach speak to the press.

But when Painter gives excuses for losing, you take him at his word. Yup, painter said we didn’t scout Creighton, so he must be telling the gospel truth. Painter wouldn’t lie to us!

But you all believe Walters is lying!

It’s time you used your brains. All coaches lie to the media. They are never going to throw their players under the bus!

If coach says we are close, we must be close!

We are close-r to the end of this atrocity than we were before the game started.

Sure, we are close, and I think that's the same thing Custer said.

NW had over 400 yards in offense on Saturday and they average just over 200 for the season.... Yikes!!

Sorry to tell you this Wo, all coaches DO NOT lie to the media. That's a fact.

Yeah, that's the problem. Purdue had to win that game because Northwestern was probably the last opponent they had a reasonable chance of beating (save maybe--maybe--MSU).

I suspect that Walters understands that deep down. He just had to put something of a positive spin on what was really a damning loss. The rest of this season could get downright ugly.

And Graham Harrell is laughing all day on Saturdays. He was the scapegoat. Lol
