Certifiably Surly
  1. Additional confirmation that Nahlin is a chode. No surprise. "I regret nothing" about calling out a fan favorite former player is quite the position to take. What a twit.
  2. So not historically accurate? Crap.
  3. Gibson to Purdue would be fine with me. He's better than all the spares they have at RB right now. We have Connor Stroh to thank for that. Given Texas does not play Kentucky next year and Purdue does not play Northwestern, I'd kind of prefer Stroh go to one of our competitors. At least we'd know where to send Kanu - on every play.
  4. Purdue has won zero games in the big10 in the past two years. It is safe to say that a full roster reboot would be reasonable. They were a bit more competitive this year under Barry Odom than last year under Ryan Walters. In 2024/2025, Purdue lost the following starters to the portal: TE Max Klare -> tOSU S Dillon Thieneman -> Oregon (All American) DT Cole Brevard -> Texas OL DJ Wingfield -> USC OL Mahamme Moussa -> Louisville DE Will Heldt -> Clemson DT Jeffrey M'ba -> SMU DB Nyland Green -> ASU P Keelan Crimmins -> Illinios Not saying the above is a murderers row, but having Klare, Thieneman, and Brevard likely results in 1-2 additional wins. With the cut-paste above, I was surprised to see that someone pays for Purdue's rivals site. Edited to add: Purdue had 54 new transfers-in this year. Most in NCAA. I suspect we'll see serious turnover again this year. To my knowledge there is no giant money-whipper behind the scenes and legit NIL opportunities in West Lafayette are modest at best. If Purdue becomes competitive again, some opportunities will surface in Indy...
  5. Purdue is the land grant university, yes. Engineering, Agriculture, Pharmacy, etc. IU has neither engineering nor Ag. Edited to add - from 1865-1869, Purdue was called “Indiana Agricultural College.” Around that time, the state considered adding an agriculture school to Indiana University or Butler to make one of them the land grant university.
  6. My niece goes to IU. My brother is trying to keep her grounded during this run. As Purdue grads, we have seen our fair share of “this team is going to do it! This year is the year” Mostly in basketball, but there was a decade of recent “great” Purdue football under Joe Tiller. The vitriol between Purdue and Indiana is lower key than OU or Aggy for Texas. It exists, but you don’t have IU or Purdue guys flexing at parties, etc. or whooping (or whatever) at weddings, funerals, or church events. That said, we do have the following: What do Purdue and Indiana students have in common? They all applied to Purdue. And What do Indiana grads say to Purdue grads? “Would you like to biggie size that?” I’d love to see IU win it all.
  7. I will confess that I was one who suggested that Manning might need a small break. His body language was off, he was missing open receivers, etc. Plus, Caldwell looked relatively sharp in spot duty. That said, it was a foolish idea - and even more so with the benefit of hindsight. Arch needed to work through his issues ON the field; Sark cleaned up his playcalling; Stroh got benched; etc...
  8. He did. Not 100% sure it was directed at Manning. Kanu was saying something to Underwood and he said "what you want?" a couple of times. Hard to give Underwood the benefit of the doubt when he sat on the bench for a few minutes and was not engaging with anyone after the game. Yes, he's immature, but it was not the first game he was outclassed in this year. He looked pretty mediocre against OU, Nebraska, USC, Michigan State, Purdue, and tOSU.
  9. Fuck these announcers. Fuck these refs.
  10. YAY! Decent coverage on kickoff.
