Eh same type of folks said O'Connell wouldn't get drafted including some Purdue fans butt hurt because he sat out a bowl game.
Zach Edey discussed on 670 the Score
- Thread starter KenTre1983
- Start date
If he has the opportunity to get drafted in the first with a guaranteed contract he should go as fast he can.
If I remember right, it was the last 3rd place game played in the final 4.
I was there. If my memory serves me, he banked it in.
Purdue fans butt hurt? Look at the books. Purdue got its whole ass kicked 63-7 -- a record margin of eight touchdowns, for those who think it didn’t count -- in a nationally televised New Year’s Day bowl game, failing to even remotely compete because its six best players each followed the leads of their self-serving coaches and quit the team, with none of them getting drafted one damned spot higher than they’d been projected midseason.
Since you enjoy butt kickings, why not ask Zach to do the same and “opt-out” of the NCAA to “prepare for the draft” four months early? Then bend over.
Have barely listened to WSCR in the last 10 years. Lawrence Holmes and Mully are about the only decent ones on there anymore. Once Terry left, Dan became an even bigger blow hole than he already was. “Joe in Evanston” was great radio back in the day though!!!
Sort of agree, as a Sox fan though him and Holmes do a great job covering and trashing their favorite team, my favorite coverage is by them. Also, Bernstein these days is a tad less pompous, it was ridiculous a few years ago, better now.
Dan did become worse when Boers left, he’s better now, he’s toned down the pompous crap a little. Him and Holmes are great with their Sox coverage.
nope...the next year when I think Arkansas and ND played was the last one.
The Mully and Haugh morning show is all I listen to now. Good banter between the two. I do miss the Grobber though.
Hoops is nowhere near as dangerous as football, also, the Big Dance is the Super Bowl for hoops players unlike some bs bowl game that means nothing.
Did it suck? Yes. But, the players aren't indentured servants. If they believe the best thing for their future earnings prospects is to sit out a meaningless bowl game...yes, any bowl game not part of selecting the national champ is meaningless...so be it. And, I think O'Connell did get drafted higher than projected if memory serves. He was largely considered a UDFA.
I really can’t believe people listen to these clowns. They talk so little sports that I just can’t listen in to their nonsense.
Right. That bowl game meant nothing. Except to LSU. The SEC. ABC-TV.. The national audience. The national advertisers. The 42,791 in attendance. The receivers … of the $8,224,578 payout.
As for getting hurt, the odds are wider than that spread was, but we’re impressed by those who bail on the teammates who got them there, so they can dodge all those injuries and tend to themselves. During the season, they should “opt out” of potentially rough plays. Sit one for the Gripper.
I’ve seen Purdue basketball crash in the NCAA after injuries to Rick Mount and Glenn Robinson, so apparently we should quit running that risk, too. Postseason pain and no gain.
It’s Groundhog Day. Athletes seeing their shadow need to go home.
I wish AOC had played. But if He felt it was the best decision for his future to sit out, who am I to dispute that?
Boiler Gold. Cigar. Lamp Shade.
My all-time favorite is Bob Gibson. Line drive off his leg by Roberto Clemente. Broken. Pitched to three more batters before collapsing on the mound. Came back to be the World Series MVP, then posted a 1.12 ERA the next season with 13 shutouts. I think of him whenever I hear “opt out.”
Crazy. Lived in Chicago for 10 years and never once came across them on the radio or heard of em.
They talk a ton of sports when I listen, during MLb season they’re on point with Sox talk. Holmes is my favorite, he knows his stuff about the Sox, he’s my go to. I don’t listen a ton during football because it’s too much Bears talk, it gets old.
I thought Gemstate boiler was right, but now that you mention it Arkansas had the triplets I think
I liked the show because it was the closest thing that compared to the old AM1000 WLUP. Iykyk. It was original, and it wasn't all about stick and ball sports. Terry covered the local horse racing back in the day. His insight to seedy underside of owners and trainers was fascinating. And I don't know how, as Purdue fans, you don't like Dan. He hated Steve Alford, couldn't stand Bob Knight or IU, and was tepidly complimentory of Purdue. The Wednesday b4 Thanksgiving shows were epic because all the callers were drunk. And credit to Tannehill (sp ?) He was the best booth man in Chicago.
it was '81, but that was Virginia beating Louisiana State University, 78-74.
Arkansas defeated Notre Dame in the '78 third place game. The Razorbacks had the trio of Sidney Moncrief, Ron Brewer, and Marvin Delph. Oh, by the way, one of Arkansas' assistant coaches was some guy named Gene Keady.
Why am I not surprised one of the hurt butts belonged to you? Lol
Yes with Aidan it would have been 63-21, way better.
By the way, how'd Gillis do last game?
So... you're really old. Checks out. I'll be sure to stay off your lawn.
It’s very easy not to like Bernstein. Although, he’s marginally better without his sock puppet, Boers.
We are already oversigned on scholarships. Two people would need to leave for Gillis.
Wouldn't surprise me if 2 or more left.....happens. Although I am guessing Gillis not coming back. Though no one really knows.
As long as it's not Braden Smith, we will likely still be a top four B10 team. Higher if a couple of the frosh can beat out current starters....that implies a big upgrade, as our starters are pretty good.
Well, thank goodness. No lawn could ever handle that much manure.
I was around to hear your first words. Said the future champion of deserters, “No mas.”
