Yep they sentenced him to another year on their team. Seems cruel and inhumane.
Who will be commit 9?
- Thread starter Bullwhip Griffith
- Start date
What's cruel and inhumane about winning back to back bucket games?
Nothing at all. We’ve done it so many times it’s like second nature haha.
He’s going to plead guilty.
Most likely he’ll be suspended for the UConn and Ivy Tech games.
He really goes well with Allen’s LEO mantra
“Next man Up”
Last year we lost two three stars late.
Flipped a 4 star WR from Northwestern and a 3 Star ATH/DB from FAU to replace them.
IU's team of a generation ... winning in 2OT to an absolutely decimated Purdue team.
This isn't going well for you.
I guess he decided he would do anything to have to not block Karlaftis anymore. Even beat his ho.
One of the few iu will get vs Brohm. Brohm is the better coach and it's not close.
This year's IU team will better, but then so will Purdue's team.
Objectivity.
IU will win their second straight bucket game.
Subjectivity.
Purdue will contend for the west.
IU will have another cupcake schedule, and the fans will think they're better than they are.
Objectivity.
Purdue will destroy IU in the bucket game, and continue to run up their dominant record in the series.
Subjectivity.
I don't really think you can say IU has a better team than Purdue. And the opposite is true also.
IU gives up 41 points to a walk on QB and a bunch of freshman skilled position players and you think their Defense will be scary good?
Face it, Allen’s rep as a Defensive guru was built on beating up cupcake teams then losing to Big Ten teams than run the ball to kill the clock late and don’t put up the yardage they can.
Any time IU played a team with a pulse they gave up 51, 40, 28, 31, 34, 39 and 41 points
Losing your OC is going to kill IU because the defense isn’t great or good.
Could be.
Purdue's defense will be massively improved, the offensive line will be much better, and the skill positions will be better. A combination that permitted IU's "team of a generation" to squeak out a 2OT win. That portends an outcome for the worst program in the history of CFB...
Do you believe Purdue will really contend for the West?
I would put them 3-4 in the West.
Wisconsin & Minnesota, then Iowa.
Then the next group of Purdue/Nebraska.
Overall I see 6-7 regular season wins.
Let me pose this question? How good is minny? 7-8 wins? How likely is it Purdue beats Iowa? 75%?
Minnesota will be (talent wise) better than last year. Can they replicate the success is the question. I think they are more close to 9 wins than 7.
I see Iowa & Purdue as somewhat equals. Iowa always has a season every other year or so that is really good.
The biggest game is Nebraska week 1. Lose that game & Purdue is in a deep hole.
How is minny better talent wise? They lost their defense and best WR. They still have Bateman, but that's it.
I can’t stand Fleck, but he has brought in some talent & is known as a developer.
Just talking with various people, the feeling is that as long as Fleck stays there they will surpass Wisconsin as the West front runner.
And Brohm hasn't? If you look solely at recruiting rankings, Brohm is out recruiting him, but started with less. I don't see any reason to believe Fleck is going to surpass Wisconsin, but Brohm can't.
Of course I believe Purdue could contend for the west. That's what I wrote.
There were too many things that went wrong last year (perfect storm), still finishing 3-6. In 2019, a close loss at Iowa, a close loss vs Minny, and, of course, the gift to IU.
All that with the substantial losses (4th string walk on QB, loss of NFL players, etc.).
Anyone sleeping on this team is simply not paying attention.
I don't think they contend this year yet. 7-8 wins. But they basically have two more seasons with the team that finished the year last year and continue to bring in the talent to follow them and raise the floor.
Results.
Fleck did it within a couple years at W. Michigan, & then in a couple years at Minnesota.
Moore is the talent Purdue hasn’t had in a long time & wont after this year. Purdue went 6-7 his AA year. Then he gets hurt & Purdue goes 4-8. Even if Purdue wins 8 games this year they will be below .500 in his career.
I keep seeing talk of recruiting & Brohm, and expectations, but going below .500 isn’t progress & isn’t results.
Have to start winning. Period.
Who started out with a better team/base? Brohm at Purdue or Fleck at minny? It's hard to win in the big ten when you are playing all freshman. You don't think purdue would have won more if they didn't lose their 1st and 2nd string?
much of the entire west will be better. Including Purdue.
Purdue beat Nebraska last year. That's not the biggest game, unless we're going to pull out the "every week is the biggest game" mantra.
8 wins could absolutely put them in contention in the west.
In '19, Iowa was 6-3, one game out. Clearly, they contended for the B1G west...
He must have never heard of David Bell either. 3 QB's that threw for 400 yards last year. 2 return. A couple really good RB's. A 1st rounder at DE. A potential top 50 pick at DT. Lots of potential in the secondary. But remember, Purdue only has 1 player.
The lack of depth of understanding by some of the people who post here... and expect their opinion to be taken seriously ... at times is stunning.
