His fate was sealed with that debacle at TCF last month. Official announcement later today.
Top replacements seem to be Dorean at NIU, Hazell at Kent St, and Butch Jones at Cincy. Long shot is Sonny Dykes at La Tech.
Roberson out for the year (as most already knew) but Purdue Robert Marve suffered another knee injury vs. Notre Dame and rumor has it his season could be over.
Marve was Purdue's ticket to the B1G title game and possible NYD bowl.
Rumor has it he could be an admissions casualty due to lack of core requirements (i.e. not ACT or GPA related).
He had Minnesota high on his list IIRC.
BTN did not send a play by play crew to West Lafayette to call the game live - instead had Eric Collins and some no name schmoe call the game from the BTN studios in Chicago - but tried to make people think they were actually in the arena. They lost video feed shortly after the game started and...
Back-up PG Kelsey Barlow suspended for the rest of the year (likely gone for good) and another guard John Hart re-injured his foot (similar injury to Nolen) and is likely done for the season as well. That leaves Purdue with 9 scholarship players and 3 of them (Bade, Carroll, and Marcius) see...
Since so many (myself included) are gushing over JJ's performance last night at the Barn I thought I'd throw this out there because it's truly amazing regarding his high school career.
Freshman year: played on the Freshman "B" team (i.e. got cut from the "A" team)
Sophomore year: barely made...
Here are some thoughts on tonight’s game from a Purdue fan’s perspective. As mentioned, life on the road in the Big Ten is a b!tch and the Barn is a tough place to win – albeit not nearly as tough as it used to be. In fact, there isn’t a single player on the Purdue roster that has lost at...
You're welcome.
Just got home from West Lafayette. As an avid college FB fan and close follower of both programs the nail in the coffin for Brewster was obviously losing to a terrible Purdue team yesterday. It was like putting an old dog out its misery. Purdue should've won that game 42-7...
This mostly for Selection Sunday since I thought he would find this useful or interesting.
Starting next season (2011) Purdue, Indiana, Butler, and Notre Dame will play a doubleheader in December at Conseco. Next year's pairings will be Purdue/Butler and Indiana/ND. In 2012, it will be...
Big mistake is you ask me. He may go undrafted.
My source is the same person that said Hummel was out for the year last year with his back so I won't believe it until we hear for sure by Saturday.
This sucks for Purdue. If he were to stay and help lead them to the Final 4 next year, his stock...
I know it's short notice but I'll try anyways.
Section 201
Row 1
Seats 9-10
Awesome seats!
Email me at [email protected] or reply to this thread with your contact info. Tickets will need to be picked up at my buddy's house in Richfield.
I usually attend 4-5 games a year at the Barn, but for a number of reasons, last night's game against Michigan was my first this season. Here are my observations from an outsider perspective, even though I don't think I technically qualify as on outsider since I've been to so many game over the...
This may be old news since I saw an article dated 10/11 on "the other site" that Price was still looking around despite committing to Minnesota. Well, there's a thread on the Purdue premium board about him contacting the Purdue coaching staff recently and opening his recruitment. Again, it's...
This process is rather common at a lot of universities. It just doesn't happen at Minnesota. It happens in a lot of places. At Purdue, Notre Dame fans buy full season tickets every other year just so they can go to that one game in Ross-Ade. The rest of their tickets end up on E-bay, Craigslist...
Chris Kramer and Robbie Hummel are out for the Boilers. Purdue's season is likely over. They have several players injured. They will struggle to finish .500 in the Big Ten.
