Missing my point…PU is winning despite not having NBa type talent. Iu has nba talent and can’t win…meaning system and culture are winning.
Anyone watching the Michigan, Purdue game?
- Thread starter RRgo
- Start date
As Painter starts adding some NBA talent, this could be fun.
66-0. If IU can do it in football, they can definitely do it in basketball. Woody has split the series so far, and FDU is the norm for Painter.
Congrats on finally beating the crap out of Purdue in football. Only took their worst year in history. Glad iu is able to brag about being .500 vs Purdue. Gives ya something after Purdue made the natty last year. Not sure how FDU is the norm. Are you talking about first round exits? If so, it’s not the norm. But whatever you need to tell yourself.
Also funny you are worried about posting about Purdue during an iu basketball game.

IU basketball's ceiling is far, far higher than PU football or basketball. Mike Davis made the finals in year 2: it only took Painter about 25 years and multiple embarrassing losses to double digit seeds. If IU can make the right hire for football and turn things around immediately, they can certainly do the same thing for basketball.
P.S. You live here rent free.
Thank you! The football series has been pretty even as of late. IU was a missed field goal away from setting the largest victory margin in the series. Making the playoffs and winning more games than PU ever has made for a great season.

Hey it’s the Edey will be an NBA bust guy and Braden Smith won’t be that good once Edey is gone. How is that prediction.
Bragging on a single year of football for the worst P5 football program in history is pretty funny the way you attack Purdue basketball. Especially for a team that paid a million to get out of its only respectable non-con game. Seriously dude. How many years has it been since IU won a bowl game?
You don’t think IU is the worst program historically? Google it.
He will pay. Won’t be an issue. About to get a chunk of athletic department money to get players on top of NIL.
We will see, it’s no Painter’s way of doing things. He has a system and he recruits to it. I have not seen PU listed on any 5 star type kids
When has PU won 11 games or made the college football playoffs? I didn't hear Purdue complaining when they were in the JV West division. If you want to hang on to dusty seasons from the 50's, I suppose you can. I'll bet you were one of the posters that thought Walters would pan out, lol. Good luck trying to catch Cig today.
FDU is the norm: I Googled that.
They have seen IU make the playoffs, win more games than Purdue ever has in a season, be ranked #5, and be a missed field goal away from a setting the all-time victory record against Purdue. Good luck with your loser Mizzou coach.
Who cares, his team was ranked #1 at some time in each of the three prior seasons without having one. It is a team playing his system that works for him.
So to confirm. You saw iu beat a bunch of bad teams, lose to all ranked teams, something Cig is good at (I googled it) and celebrate a team that isn’t good enough to beat Purdue by the margin record.
the guy that told me Edey wasn’t an NBA player, a reach of a recruit, smith was a bad recruit, an Edey merchant, Purdue would be bad this year, CJ Cox won’t be good also thinks Odom will be a loser. Seems good for Odoms success.
I suppose IU would be better off not winning more games than PU ever has, not going to the playoffs, not almost setting the Bucket game margin of victory record, winning 1 game, and firing their coach after 2 years because he sucks.
I see Edey score 4 points most of the time: good for him.
As an IU fan I will gladly be lose to a number 16 seed if I knew we would be in the natty the next year
What? Hell at this point I would take an elite 8. Our last final 4 was almost 25 years ago
That is how it played out here: fans aren't going to wait 20 years for a coach to reach a FF.
IU just needs to make a good hire: they did it in football, way past time to do it in basketball.
Yes, Iu is a coach away from being a legit power. Why is that confusing you?
This coming from the clown who said Purdue would never make it to the final four last year. You have no credibility here.
I am 99.999% correct. It is still way more likely PU shits the bed against double digit seeds. Clowns make source arguments instead of arguing the points. This is IU's house, not yours.
66-0
I think you may underestimate how difficult the current landscape is. North Carolina and Kentucky are among teams that have missed the tournament (maybe more than once) in recent years.
It is even easier to do well quicker due to the portal and NIL. IU football turned it around in 1 year with a roster 6-7 times the size. There flat out is no excuse for IU basketball to not be good. Go make a good hire.
This is exactly why coaches will be hesitant to go there - if they don’t get to the Final Four in year one the fan base will point to the football program making the playoff in year one.
If you were marginally cognizant you would realize that the game shortly following a West Coast trip has proven to be a game ripe for an upset. That is true for a couple of B1G teams, not just Purdue. You make jump shots with your legs, and fatigue destroys shooting. There is reason shooting declined in the later part of the OSU game.
It has been pointed out earlier in this very thread on this board that quite a few highly-regarded coaches, including RMK, did exactly what you criticize Painter for. It maybe an IU board, but that is not an excuse for ignorance or intentional disregard of fact.

Painter has had 3 losing seasons since Painter took over. The last
Painter has had 3 losing seasons. His first in 05-06, and 12-13, 13-14. But, he hasn’t been special in March with the exception of last year.
You can say that about any coach that goes to any program worth a damn. OSU fans were talking about firing Day this year. You guys fired a football coach after 2 years.
