Ah. That makes sense. I'm sure every fan base has them. Purdue board has people that only come out when Purdue loses and call for Painter or Brohm to be fired, when in reality, neither should be close to being on the hotseat.
Purdue loses to Clemson
- Thread starter SIhoosier26
- Start date
Just the opposite here. We have people who defend the downward direction and lowered expectations of the program, no matter the results. They’re .100% behind the pilot and the aircraft, all the way to the crash site, and then they wonder why you complained to customer service about the flight as you’re standing next to the smoldering wreckage and giant hole in the ground.
this is amazing watching two fanbases of irrelevant programs argue its like watching two ugly girls calling each other ugly
WTF are you talking about? Clemson isn't a pressing team.
Admittedly, Edey looks good, definitely way ahead of schedule although I question whether or not he can handle the nightly grind of the B10. Can be dominant in spurts but think he’ll regress to the mean at some point now that there is tape on him.
Obviously Hunter and Ivey being out hurt Purdue, but not sure it solves their turnover problem. Both Ivey and Hunter are natural SG’s and Hunter had as many turnovers as he did assists last year. Ivey appears to have big time scoring ability albeit he’s played one game, but was also erratic with the ball against Liberty. Purdue’s got some good young talent, and more on the way, but think they truly lack a go to player this year and that will be their downfall.

I'll be curious to see edey as the grind goes on. Not to worried about physicality for him. He played hockey his whole life until a few years ago. Thats when he started balling.
Once again we have PUkes on our board after a PUkes loss. I read your board but I don't post on it even when you are bashing your IU big brother. Remember we are a football school now. We have owned your a$$ the last 7 years! Soon to be 6 out of 8. I've partied with that Oaken bucket so much in the past 7 years that I have splinters in my fingers from it. I like the upside of our basketball team this year but you guys are going to be same as always. You'll play us like your life depends on it come in 4th to 8th in the B1G, and flame out in the NCAA tournament like always. That's the Painter algorithm.
If you get 15 minutes a game from him, that would be gravy for you guys.
I think Purdue will land around .500 again this season. 12-14 or 13-13 range if they play all 26 games. But next year especially if Williams stays they will be very good again
Ah, so your #1 PG averaged 2 assists and 1.2 TO's a game? Very impressive. I'm sure it would have massively affected those 21 TO's, if he wasn't out until at least January. I'm sure a freshman PG barely in the top 100 will dominate decent competition, too. I'll give it to you they might have done better against Clemson with a full roster, but you can't deny Painter's offense turns the ball over a ton and takes a ton of horrible shots. Let's not bother to mention Clemson shot 50%. Either way, Purdue is in big trouble for making the tourney.
Take that one back with you please. 75% of his posts are propping up PU while tearing down IU and trashing threads. He posts on GBI as kern County and just took down his posts claiming that Tom Allen was heading back to Ben Davis in shame. He is one of yours.

I don't claim the Purdue free board. Lol I go there, see how stupid people are, make two comments, forget about it, and go back to the paid board. I'm never in the mood for that dumb. Any Purdue fan who thinks Purdue football and basketball aren't trending in the right direction and want either coach fired is dumb imo. Same can be said about any stupid post for tom Allen.
He’s not being truthful. You can easily check to see if posts exist there and if that poster “just took down” anything. He could tell exactly how he came to know about these mysterious deletions, but it’s all bs. That’s par for the course though. Court makes allegations and then never backs them up. What you won’t see from him is much of anything regarding our program, since it’s obvious he knows little about IU basketball. He’ll stalk me in s response to you with a number, which is bizarre. He‘s the ultimate sufferer of chronic pretendinitis.
Just as I predicted. Where’s that proof? lol. Chronic Pretendinitis. Sorry for your battle.
Everybody owned us when Hazell was coach lol. That’s not really saying much.
The Painter algorithm is a heck of a lot better than the IU algorithm of late.
Big trouble to make the tourney based off of one game? Holy overreaction haha.
Yes, you remember the return of RMK to SSAH and the the IU team came out all fired up and ready to play.
I believe a lot of us do and that’s why we talk about it on OUR forum not PU’s So get off this site we don’t care what you think. This is an IU forum and not PU. And yes we WILL beat PU twice this year. Book it! Now leave please.
I said last year that purdue's hype was unwarranted. They didn't have a go to player or the talent to back it up. Their formula was to force an ugly low scoring game and keep it close with a chance to win. It doesn't work without clutch players. I don't know if much changes this year.
The roster is significantly different this year though. Offense should be much improved but defense will be a work in progress.
Edey will not be playable against teams like Iowa and Wisconsin with bigs who can shoot. He will be useful against some teams though. Let's see how he defends ball screens before we anoint him the next great Purdue big.
By the way why do so many PU fans lurk on our board?
I read multiple big ten boards to keep up on how other teams are looking, especially when I can't watch them. Why you ask? While I'm a big Purdue fan, I am also a big big ten sports fan.
Different doesn't mean better. New players must prove themselves. This year will favor teams with experience. Fewer non conference games will mean young players facing tough conference battles early.
I expected it as well. Give Purdue their two best guards and Morton at 100%, and I don't expect Purdue to drop that game.
Williams will be All-B1G and he will not want to sit behind or share time with Furst or Kaufman so he will move on for pay to play somewhere.
On the flip side, experience is generally more important for conference road games. I’ve seen plenty of young players look great in patsy games, or even against decent teams at home or in neutral venues. It’s when they go on the road in the conference for the first time that things unravel. A boisterous crowd, and typical B10 officiating can do that.
Nothing like having a veteran team for games like that.
But, this year? With no fans in the stands? I expect things to be much different.
Mackey is right. PU only loses for two reasons:
Injuries, regardless of the opponent's injuries
Refs: regardless of calls that go their way.
The sooner you accept this, the sooner they go home.
Hard to say the outcome vs Clemson isn't different if Purdue isn't down ivey even. Early season losses happen. Not to worried.
