This game will definitely be interesting, to see how team responds from Harrell being gone, new OC and lots of fans giving up on Walters
Wisconsin game
- Thread starter FLAG HUNTER
- Start date
If CRW can somehow pull off a win, I certainly will tap the brakes on him getting canned as that shows promise and good decision making.
However, my expectations of that happening are very low. The OC was terrible sure, but there are a LOT of issues on this team still that a head coach should have addressed by now.
Pretty weird timeline really..

I mean, we can always hope. But Purdue hasn't beaten Wisconsin in 20 years. Sixteen straight losses. Wisconsin will win Saturday because it will dominate the line of scrimmage as it has against Purdue for two decades.
Michigan has never beaten Purdue 16 straight.
Ohio State has never beaten Purdue 16 straight.
ND has never beaten Purdue 16 straight.
Fun fact: Chicago did win 16 straight against Purdue from 1902 to 1917.

Here is the funny thing I keep circling over, if there was a year where something goofy were to happen and we break the "curse", it somewhat feels like it would be this year... no reason to think we will really other than there is so much turmoil right now, anything is possible.
FanDuel opened with a ridiculous line of 10.5, which I jumped all over. My site is now at 14. I can't imagine this game is any different score-wise, but I would just like to see some originality on offense, and more stamina for the defense.
IF Purdue were to somehow pull it off.....flashback to Hope's team ending the Ann Arbor curse of '66 (with all due respect to Rich Rod....).
Yeah, there's a side of me that thinks that every year, too. But the rest of me has seen this movie too many times before.
Wisconsin 38 Purdue 17. It could probably be worse, maybe the Badgers will lose interest midway through the 4th quarter.
Man, I'd love to be wrong.
the next Purdue coach who beats wisky get's a statue in front of Ross Ade.
Wisky could have 0 yards rushing against Purdue through 3 qtrs and they'll still continue to run the ball in the 4th, eventually piling up about 150 and 3 TDs.
Or when Colletto beat Michigan after he was fired.
Hope's teams actually showed flashes from time to time. He beat OSU in 2009 and 2011 and nearly won in Columbus in 2012. Purdue's 2009 win over OSU was an epic game that made Ryan Kerrigan a star.
Hope also had a couple near misses against ND--including once where Purdue might have slammed the door had it not been for an ill-placed time out.
I was there. My favorite part was when one of the over fed, over confident and over self important Michigan fans yelled "we're just waiting for the inevitable Purdue collapse". As the game ended I yelled down to him "Hey! You still waiting?" Crickets.
I was screaming when he called that TO. What a blunder.
I'm actually flying up to WI for a wedding this weekend. Normally, I'd be all Purdue gear in the airport, but I'm also afraid to wear it this year.
Wear it because basketball is starting soon and explain it that way.
you'd be like one of those soldiers holding flags leading their group to war in the ancient times
Yeah don’t embarrass yourself. I’m not wearing anything Purdue until basketball season.
He's unlikely to get fired in year 2. He will get a chance to see if he picks a better OC. If he has a similar year 3 start, he will get fired sometime during the season.
They put 149 on Alabama and our defensive coaching is superior to theirs so less than that.
over 200 and less than 250. The will have their best passing game of the season so will be less reliant on the run. Typical Purdue to brag about stopping opponent rushing while they give up 300yds passing.
I agree if the players quit...he gone. Most of the time it's very evident when a team quits.
Players were paying attention about 75% of the time last week. Big improvement from previous. That have NOT quit yet!
That’s what they said about your posts! Obviously you didn’t realize the sarcasm in my post! You post all day long and you say nothing we didn’t already know! Wisconsin is going to blow away Purdue! We all know it. So why even bother posting about if? Your posts are just taking up internet space
This statement is hilariously ironic coming from you and your usual wall-of-empty-and-rambling posts.
