Last year's results: Illinois 67 at Purdue 74 Purdue 83 at Illinois 75 Illinois 74, Purdue 67, OT, at Indianapolis I consider those a few competitive games. Ha well again I wasn't factoring in the Big Ten tourney game in Indy and was factoring in the game the year before when we were up by 20 the entire game, but yeah they've been relatively close games. If I remember from last year though the 9point game wasn't that close until the end you guys made a little of a comeback There was no 9 point game. In the 7 point home victory, Purdue trailed Illinois by 8 at the half, and 9 with 15 minutes remaining before going on a 23-7 run to take the lead for good. In the 8 point road victory, it was a 3 point game midway through the second half. In the BTT game, the largest lead was the final score. The largest lead for Purdue in either game was 12. Alright I was off sorry, but like I said I was thinking of the blowout the year before Well, now we have no chance. No...but us only losing 3 games including this year and the last 2 at home does

My bad *8 point game, but man are you U of I fans feisty about this game tonight...The game should be a good one though will really show how good both of these teams really are

Purdue is 0-1 at home this year against major conference opponents. Illinois is 1-0 on the road this year against major conference opponenets. Ok you played Missouri....and we played Duke....my point is made Actually, Illinois played at Vanderbilt. Missouri was on a neutral site, along with the Kent State and Tulsa victories. My point is there's a context and relevance to everything. Sure, Purdue won over 90% of their home games the past 2 years. Which means nothing for this year. Sure, they beat a lot of patsies at home this year. Means nothing. The only good team they've played at home, they lost big. This, too, means nothing. All that really means something is how good of a team Purdue is vs. how good of a team Illinois is. According to Ken Pomeroy's stat ratings, they're almost dead even, with a slight edge to Purdue. He projects Purdue to have a 66% chance of winning, and predicts a 66-62 final score. According to Jeff Sagarin, Purdue is about 1.6 points better than Illinois on a neutral court. Home court is a 4-point bump, so he projects a 5-6 point Purdue victory. Both projections sound about right. The only disappointing result tonight for Illinois would be a double-digit loss. and I don't think we will beat you by double-digits, but I think Purdue will win....My point was that Purdue has been amazing at home the last few years including this year...It does matter because we have almost the exact same team as last year on the team this year. We lost badly to a very good team in Duke at home in won of the worse shooting performances I've ever seen from Purdue. Beating Vanderbilt on the road and Missouri on a neutral court are impressive wins, but those teams aren't as good as Duke...All in all it should be a competitive game unlike the last few times you guys played us at home

Agreed, he'd be a solid replacement for Babich (I like what he did in Tampa). Marinelli I think could fit in with a lot of the teams in the running for D-Coordinators and would love him in Chicago He's probably better off going to a d-line coach. He'd avoid the media a lot more, and any media group is going to take the chance to talk about 0-16 as much as they can if Marinelli becomes a coordinator there. Probably true....I was just saying he's a good defensive coach though, but D-line would probably be a good idea on any team

Wait I said the last three years....What I mean was this year and the two years previous....You took in account a bad Purdue team from the 05-06 season...I didn't change the time frame you just took the 3 previous years and I included this year as one of the three years this year hasn't happened yet....and you said last 3 years, not current year and the last 2 years. Well sorry for not making that clear enough for you that I meant it that way, but in what way does you bringing up the 05-06 season help U of I's chances against us at home when we've only lost 3 games in the last 2 YEARS and this CURRENT YEAR Illinois is undefeated on the road this season. I like those odds. Someone just posted they've played one road game? Don't get me wrong, but I'm just saying that Purdue in this season and the last two has been dominant at home Purdue is 0-1 at home this year against major conference opponents. Illinois is 1-0 on the road this year against major conference opponenets. Ok you played Missouri....and we played Duke....my point is made While we did thorougly embarrass Missouri away from Champaign, it was considered a neutral site game. And why are we bringing up the opponents. I thought we were talking home/road here. Because we lost to one of the best teams in the country at home you beat a pretty good team in on a neutral site....I don't understand you what you were trying to prove about the one loss on the road and the one win on the road?

I think restricted....He wants out of Arizona, but It would cost a lot to pry him away from them

Ok well you win and I proved my point about Purdue at home

I'd rather have Cowher too. I'm just disagreeing on how big the difference is between the two. He's still pretty young, though. Way younger than I thought he was. Only a year older than Smith. They've already said that Cowher won't go anywhere unless they have a franchise QB...sorry, but I dont think Orton can be part of that group yet really, you don't think orton is a franchise qb yet? what gives you that impression? I was saying it sarcastically as you follow me from thread to thread trying to demean my posts...

I meant since the loss to Oden and Connelly at home....ha I forgot about our lost to Wofford last year though....I was in Vegas and saw it...Still none the less we are pretty damn good at home

that could be one of the creepiest pictures I've ever seen

Compared the one road game played by Purdue? Or the one away game played by Ohio State, Michigan State, Minnesota, and Michigan? Purdue's "road game" at Ball St. was a true test for the hostile environments of the Big 10. Clown shoes. Should be a pretty close game, but we barely lose at home well good...you can barely lose tonite then. No I mean we've only lost 2 games in the last three years at home ahh I take that back, but it's less than 5 you should take that back as well...you lost 5 at home in the 05-06 season....you guys were bad that year. I meant 06-07, 07-08, 08-09 bud...We lost to Ohio State two years ago at home Ohio State last year at home and Duke this year at home...Name me more than 2 more

I think it's gonna be Panthers vs. Titans in the Super Bowl

They'll prlly make the AFC championship you shouldn't be to worried man...On the other hand like I said the Lipscomb loss is pretty bad I think they'll beat San Diego, but the Chargers have given the Colts fits recently. It figures to be a really, really tough game. I desperately wanted to play the Broncos, who the Colts have owned. If Baltimore beats Miami -- I expect them to -- the Colts will go to Pittsburgh. It'll be extremely difficult, if not next to impossible, to win twice in Pittsburgh in the same season. If I were any team in the AFC the Colts would probably be the last team Id want to face Same here. I just worry the matchups aren't going to favor the Colts as they did in 2006. I wouldnt be so sure they wont have to play the Titans either though
