Stop it. You are going to make Robbie Hummel cry and when Robbie Hummel cries, Da Bum eats more chili and from that point you are just asking for trouble from a butterfly effect of bad gas. Can we stop having DaBum as the representative Purdue fan? Nobody liked him, including other Purdue fans, and he's been gone for what... 3 years now? You have a plethora of other Purdue fans that currently post here to pick from. It's just an easy way for them to troll us. Most of the IU fans aren't bad around here anyway. Plus Sulley is just being himself... a closet IU fan and thus he naturally hates Purdue.

David Wilson is out for Thursday.

Why isn't the league suspending him if he said what's being claimed? It's hate speech. they didn't suspend Riley Cooper either, even with video proof True, and they should have.

Yeah it's looking like SF/Seattle loser and then whoever finishes better between the Lions and Bears with the Lions currently holding the tiebreaker. You're conceding to GB already? Smh. Wins at home against the Redskins and a Calvin-less Lions have not rendered me afraid of them... yet. Of course if we draw off the past couple years, it's a bit different feeling. That said, we ARE winning one of our two games with them this year. It's hard not to feel that way when they've beaten us what 7 times in a row? Brees had never won in Soldier Field. Well obviously and the Lions had never won in Washington or whatever. We've just been owned by the Packers recently. I probably feel it more than most because I live up here and most of the people I interact with on a daily basis are Packer fans. I have zero confidence we will beat them home or away this year. I pray to God we win both.

I guess Penn State isn't back yet.

So. Maryland today has to be the biggest margin of defeat by a Top 25 team in history right?

Yeah he was supposed to hold down 1B in Milwaukee this year with Hart out and then move to 1B / corner OF backup (Hart was supposed to come back). My guess is that things don't look good for his future if Milwaukee cut him. They were just as bad as the Cubs this year and have a smaller budget. If they thought Gamel could produce much of anything at the league minimum they would've kept him.

Assuming Hammons doesn't leave, in 2014 they'll have 3 Juniors, 4 Sophomores, and 3 + Freshmen. This is still a really young team and the 3 Juniors will be 3 year starters next year. My hopes for this year are a top half B1G finish and getting back to the tournament. My hopes for 2014 are significantly higher. If Hammons stays, a shot at the B1G title and a good tournament run.

No way he's forcing kids out with 2 open scholarships this year and 3 for 14' / 15'. Marcius moved on because he wants to start somewhere to try to prove himself for a playing career in Europe. Hale never added the weight and wasn't physical enough to be a B1G player. Lawson was a freak athlete but fouled everything that moved and had no polish on the offensive end. Anthony Johnson, I don't know what happened there, he was getting minutes but never developed accuracy on his outside shooting. He had mental lapses and would just drive to the hoop and throw up tear drop shots. He was probably tired of Painter screaming at him for not making adjustments. AJ claims he moved to be closer to his sick grandma. 2009 - 2011 were abysmal recruiting years with the exceptions of DJ Byrd who was a really good role player and Terone Johnson who is a senior captain this year. All that being said, Painter (depending on the recruiting service) brought in 4 4-star players in 2012 and 3 more this year. He's got more 4 star players on the roster this year than ever before. He's also got a solid class of guys that fit his system in 2014. He's obviously trying to land a 5 star player but if he can continue to land 4 stars regularly they'll be fine. Purdue has never been a 5 star player school. He just has to avoid terrible stretches like 2009-2011.

Trevon Bluiett backs out on UCLA.

So I'm going to be in Green Bay this weekend finishing up details for my wedding next weekend. I just figured out that the Packers play at the same time because I've been busy doing other things. Think there are any Bears bars in Green Bay? lol...

Ronnie Harrel! {Evil grin} Yeah after looking at the Creighton recruiting classes for 2012 and 2013 I can see why he picked Creighton. Playing time! Why isn't he listed as a commit on Rivals? Seriously though, he would've been a nice player to have.

Purdue lands Jacquil Taylor a desperately needed big man if Hammons leaves after this year. Still have 3 scholarships to give in 2014 if wanted. My guess is they bank them for 15'.

At least Purdue won't get their ass kicked this Saturday.

Then died at 40. Tagliabue, you monster I'm not saying, I'm just saying.

Then died at 40.

I've been out of the loop on Purdue basketball stuff for awhile, but who are the other 3? Marcius to DePaul, Lawson to Appalachian State, Anthony Johnson to Northern Illinois

Donnie Hale is leaving Purdue as well. That's the 4th player with eligibility to leave this offseason.

I'm shocked.

There is. It's called the criminal justice system. Those accused of crimes have either already had their day in court (Sandusky) or will soon (Schultz, Curley, Spanier). That's treating the symptom, not the disease. The culture at PSU (and other places) made it all possible and has to be changed.

Funny. Because nothing says "punish a child molester" like "take free education away from 20 innocent kids" It's punishing the program. It's not like the kids they were going to offer scholarships to were still forced to attend the school and pay for it. Plus if they're good enough to play football at Penn State they'll be getting a scholarship to play somewhere else...

anyone got a picture of Cutler running over that safety?

Funny thing is, we might potentially win by 17 on the road and while it wasn't awful it wasn't exactly a great win. 17 point win on the road against a proud and desperate Pittsburgh team is a great win. Especially when GB and Minny lost today.
