  1. lol, turnover fest
  2. Heisman!
  3. It would be nice if UNLV would pound San Diego St. on Wednesday night.
  4. Purdue up to #4 in the Pomeroy rankings. They will face their toughest game to date when they go up to Minnesota to face a desperate group of Gophers on Thursday. Ryne Smith remains on fire.
  5. wow, one of the best playoff runs ever
  6. It is nice to see Ryne Smith hitting his shots. I really wish he could contribute more defensively though. Between Smith, Byrd, and Hart (once his foot heals up), Purdue has a few guys who can hit some outside shots when teams are making it difficult for Moore to get open. Terone Johnson has looked pretty good the past four games, as well. I'm actually going to be in Mackey for the Purdue-Michigan State game on Jan. 22. I'm really looking forward to that one. I wish I could get back down there more often. I wanted to go to Madison to see them play, but it's on a Tuesday night. Smith needs to get his foul issues under control. When he's staying on the floor, because he's hitting his shots, he gets in foul trouble. I think he has committed more fouls than anyone on the team so far in Big Ten play. That's wierd for a 3-Point specialist. All three opponents so far have been from the bottom half of the league - but you've gotta be happy with an average of 82 points a game for and 65 points per game against. Terone, LewJack, and Ryne Smith have impressed me the most lately. Hart is really going to have to work for minutes if those guys stay hot. I'm looking forward to seeing how far along they are with all the renovations they're doing. I think the main reason Smith gets into foul trouble is that he's just not that quick. He can't keep up with some of the more athletic guys he has to defend and he ends up playing defense more with his hands than moving his feet to get better position. He ends up swiping at them as they drive by him, and more often than not, the refs are going to call a foul. That and he attempts to take charges a lot, which oftentimes leads to a blocking foul. Compare that to Barlow, who is quick enough to keep up with just about anyone he's guarding but constantly gets into foul trouble because he's over-aggressive. Barlow also gets 1-2 charges per game when he decides to run down the lane at full speed regardless of what the defenders are doing.

  8. Looks like Purdue has found their #3 scorer.
  9. Yeah, who knows what crazy ideas Lovie has. He could still go all out to win. It would be dumb, but I wouldn't completely rule it out.
  10. That's fine with me. I'd gladly take that. Plus, you'll face the Eagles, right? I like your chances. Yep. Three games in either 11 or 12 days as well. That's pretty rough. They won't be playing their starters for more than a tuneup against the Cowboys.

  12. Yeah, the national media will take this opportunity to point out that the Bears haven't beaten anyone good now.
  13. Bye week!!!! Plus, regardless of what happens, I can give all the Packer fans I work with [expletive] the rest of the week about how the Bears are going to let the Packers get to the playoffs.
  14. Vick for MVP, my ass.
  15. Eagles just getting pushed around. They might pull this out, but they look awful. Vikings playing like they have nothing to lose helps too...
  16. tick... tick... tick...
  17. Webb!
  18. Is AP hurt? What's with all the throwing?
  19. jesus christ
  20. Now we need a ten minute AP led drive down the throat of the eagles.
  21. Vick just gut smacked down.
  22. Yahtzee!
  23. Joe Webb looking legit. Wtf?
  24. Samuel just concussed himself. Moron.
  25. yep, I saw that too
