What if he was a Purdue, or MSU coach? Would that give him some authority?
How does IU finish these four games?

LOL. Hey. I hope you're right. But as shooter's son says in Hoosiers, "I ain't seeing it".
Oh my, there was a terrible violent event close to where I live…..
“I think I’ll go play better basketball”.
Not seeing it.
Yeah, super lucky. In the BT, the home teams wins 70% of the time. Unless its lopsided, its *very* difficult to win on the road, and requires good luck. Its not enough to just “play better”.
Yes. Otherwise, I don't really care if it's Bob Knight proclaiming what PU's biggest game is.
As a Coach, I can tell IU boomers that the current year is 2023, not 1993, and Izzo is the Big Ten’s lion that every team wants to slay.
I don't know man, we still scream "Purdue sucks!" when we don't play them...
Oh wait.

I doubt you're right. I could see the coaching staff being more amped up for a program that's had more success recently, MSU, Michigan, Wisconsin in maybe.
Problem is there are a lot of Indiana kids on the Purdue roster, and Painter will forever have an IU chip on his shoulder, so again, I doubt you're right.
I was thinking overall program though, fans, admin, players, coaches...taken in totality, the IU home game is without question the biggest game for Purdue every year. Most honest Purdue fans would admit that. And even if they don't, their actions before, during, and after the game tells the truth of it.
Sounds like you're saying coaches don't care about fan rivalries. Maybe so. From that perspective, our biggest game of the year was probably at NW, where we could have put ourselves in a strong position to challenge for the conference title.
Problem with your message is I attended both schools and had season tickets at both schools. You’re delusional if you don’t think IU fans are not obsessed with how Purdue does - that’s simply not true. I can point to numerous posters who live on this site as examples. Scooby being #1
I do not doubt it. That said, I am speaking from my perspective / experience. Did you get degrees from both schools?
I can see MSU, riding emotion, coming out fast in this game, but fading. IMHO if Galloway can reasonably check Hoggard we'll be in this game to win. I really liked how Race contributed in the Illinois game. He's getting closer to be being back and helping down low.
As a 40 year Purdue alum (with a sister who was a Indiana alum) it will always be a big game, but March is more important. Purdue vs. IU isn't an obsession for me, just one of the measuring sticks of the regular season.
But they were right. Iu will be 10-8 going into the last two. I still suspect we finish 11-9. We have one player basically and thats it.
I think we have 2 players, but that is still pathetic. Need Bates and Geronimo to hit the road.
Assuming JHS goes pro, next year could be our weakest team since the early Crean days. Better find a few transfers.
We really need a guy like Walker from MSU who came from Northeastern, or Young who came from Charlotte, from the portal. But they weren't sleepers in the portal. Woody needs to win in recruiting someone like that. Capps will be ok, but he'll need help.
I'd love us to get a shooter like Cam Spencer, at Rutgers, who came from Loyola MD. He was more of a sleeper. He was more than just a shooter at Loyola and that carried on at Rutgers.
Really hard to get good bigs out of the portal. I remember when Haarms was the #1 rated big in the portal. Guys like Hyatt from RU or Walker from Nebraska would at least give us some depth.
I think they may just put on their 2023 B1G Champs hats and move on to the next game. 😂
Lol. As a coach I can tell you you are a dipshit
IU loses game. Run to IU board
IU loses game and I run to IU board? I must have at least one Mini Marathon completed by now. 😂
Off Topic question for ya, Pig. Figure you are the guy to ask. Are there just a ton of hog barns in WL? Why does it smell so bad?
Lmao, so much butthurt in this post.
Read some of the other threads on here you southern Indiana yokel.
This rivalry is 75% driven by pu grads.
Always has been
Always will be
It defines them.

Haha Scooby you are really funny - you really are - don’t you get bored posting the same exact thing over and over? I would think someone so much smarter than everyone else could do better. I’m already hearing the excuses before this weekend’s game. TJD is tired, X is out, we don’t really care about this game, etc. So you want to talk hoops? How do you think Saturday will play out? Do you think our Freshmen - who really wanted to go to IU - will play better at home? Do you think a tired TJD will get the best of Zack since he is such a better all around player? Do you think Purdue’s bench will outplay IU’s stellar bench? Do you think the good JHS or the brick shooting JHS shows up? Do you think Gillis plays a bit fired up? Since only Purdue grads care about this game I’m assuming you won’t be watching?
Hence the students yelling "Michigan State sucks" during every football and basketball game? Oh. RIght. That doesn't happen.
That’s what I would expect - no answers from the almighty hoops god 😂 So predictable!
You get what you give Sporto
That has been the case for 30 years, it ain't changing for you.
Ah what the hell, I'll answer, at least from what I think will happen. Not too confident for an IU win and ignoring the pot shots inserted in your questions. Geez, I hope I am wrong.
How do you think Saturday will play out? - PU wins pretty comfortably but not a blowout
Do you think our Freshmen - who really wanted to go to IU - will play better at home? - yes
Do you think a tired TJD will get the best of Zack since he is such a better all around player? - TJD gets his averages, Zack goes off(offensively)
Do you think Purdue’s bench will outplay IU’s stellar bench? - yes, and our lack of bench play will be a killer
Do you think the good JHS or the brick shooting JHS shows up? - some of both
Do you think Gillis plays a bit fired up? - yes, expecting at least 3-4 threes from him
Purdue grads care about this game I’m assuming you won’t be watching? - this IU grad cares and will be watching
That said, we take comfort in knowing stranger things have happened.
Yes, and most times when my gut tells me how a game will play out, I'm usually wrong. Why I don't gamble. Terrible at it.
You're not terrible at something you don't do, you only think you'd be terrible at it if you did. I think IU will make it a competitive contest on Saturday, but will fall short. The final score will will not be indicative of how competitive the game really was. In other words, we'll get blown out at the end. The only guarantee is that it will be a raucous crowd.
I do not really expect Saturday to be that close at all honestly. Purdue will probably win by like 15 or more. The game that concerns me is Michigan they are starting to come on and that is a must win for us to have any shot at the top 4.
