Ok, is that guy with the 0.0 GPA in high school gone?

 

I'm not sure what that's a reference to. But yeah, not all of our guys are high character guys like the fellas Bruce recruits.

I was thinking of Darrel Arthur, but I guess he just never graduated high school. Brandon Rush apparently had the 0.0 GPA (why he was told he wouldn't qualify at Illinois)

 

 

I'm sure Rush's GPA was 0.0. Makes sense. Sounds like sour grapes to me.

Why would I be jealous? We've got a Helms too.

At the very least he had trouble spelling GPA.

We've got 2 Helms.

Well that got out of hand quickly. Absolutely no answer inside. We only have 2 healthy big guys so Pittman and James just took over.

 

The encouraging part is we hung in there for 25 minutes despite the fact that Bawinkle and Cougill were the only guys who could hit shots. Tucker, Gatens and Payne shot 10-42.

The depressing part is how insanely hard we have to work to get a decent shot and completely outclassed we are athletically. I mean I knew that already but wow.

he got kicked out off the team. you should have mentioned luther, he choked his girlfriend because she didn't want to watch roots. that's some [expletive] you can't make up.

 

Frankie's a marijuana kingpin now.

That is effed up. And Jamar was only kicked off the team after he did something else wrong I thought. But that's how every program runs. I think it's silly when everyone brags about how clean their program is.

You can't be a college sports fan without pretending to care about the character of opposing players.

that's not fair, though. at least when it come to weber. you whiff on big recruits and you're too nice, one of your players gets in trouble and you run a dirty program.

Oh, man. That's rich. The 1932 Championship trophy? Did Purdue make that for themselves? Because that's not what (apocryphal) championship trophies looked like back then.

 

I can't find the article to verify but it certainly looks like an NCAA championship trophy and since that's their only one I would guess it is. I'd much rather enjoy Purdue's current athletics program's success than sit around thinking remember when they were good.

ESPN has LewJack playing. That can't be true. He was just ruled out indefinitely a week ago and there has been no coverage on the Lafayette paper about him coming back.

 

LewJack did not play. Purdue didn't look that bad. Completely manhandled St. Jo's in the 2nd half.

 

What is that trophy in your sig?

 

It's the 1932 National Championship trophy. The picture accompanied and article about how the team was driven to make the Final Four in Indy this season. Eyes on the prize.

 

That's just plain sad. I'm proud of the 32 NC and have mentioned it to friends before when they say we've never won one but I sure as hell wouldn't be using like this. It's not really something to brag about. It's cool and nice but doesn't mean much to any other fan base and most of the time I mention it they laugh.

 

The pic is not bragging about it. The trophy symbolizes the NCAA championship. It's a goal and it's what this team is after. I didn't think it was that cryptic. Maybe reading the accompanying article would have helped.
