Sick grammar and potshot at IU



Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I don't particularly care about the grammar, but I don't even understand the shot at IU. What does "fabricated BS" even mean? lol

[Old Friend 8,677]

Maybe piped in music, bigger and bigger TV screens, fake tans, and the circus stuff that seemed to overtake IU the last decade-plus.  Who cares?   Purdue will always be Purdue.  They're the little brother; they always will be, and he's never going to change it.  When Purdue changes coaches, they get 15 minutes and everybody moves on.  When you're expected to be middle of the pack, nobody cares.  Yawn.

[TheWatShot 15,505]

We won as many Big Ten titles as you did, son. And you made Purdue look sexy all right...until you played Kansas.

 

And he's one to talk about "fabricated BS," considering Purdue was his third choice and his guardian more or less forced him to go there.

[TheWatShot 15,505]

I'm really glad Dakich was wrong. Otherwise Purdue would be a top 10 team next season and Steve Alford would be our coach.

[Hoosierfan2017 24,986]

You know you have little brother syndrome when you feel the need to mention IU when you're announcing for the draft. Fitting too since he writes like a 2nd grader. 

[VO5 8,340]

That right there is the difference between PU and IU. On his way to a 2nd round pick in the NBA and still thinking about us Lol

I hate so called "grammar nazi's", also never a fan of bashing people for grammar on the internet but when you can barely read what is being said, that's when I have a problem.

I was honestly kind of rooting for Swanigan.  Seems to be a good enough kid, good story, great player, but screw him.  What an idiot to needlessly take a shot at IU when you announce for the draft.

That is truly sad. I'm sure that mish mash of letters and punctuation make the boiler fans real proud. I don't even care about the weak attempt at a slam after trying to make my way thru that garbage.

I think he probably did it as a parting shot their fans won't be pissed at him for leaving. Easy heat elsewhere and makes their fan push out his ugly chest.

I know he was probably talking about the basketball team, but when it comes to the campus and the coeds nothing is making Purdue look "sexy". Hopefully he's eventually able to scrub off the West Lafayette smell.

Dakich says Swanigan is coming back. Have to think he's right. Nobody waits right up until the deadline and decides to stay in the draft.

Like 99% of the time, the local yahoo was wrong again

[Crimson and Cream 5,968]

Diallo back to pUKe, that's a huge domino to fall in their favor

[Crimson and Cream 5,968]

I was surprised to see Tony Bradley and DJ Wilson stay in. Wilson must have gotten a first round promise (and I'm not surprised, he's a very intriguing prospect). Both big losses for their respective teams.

He got one from the Jazz at 30. (According to Woj I think. Saw it somewhere yesterday)

Down to:

Caleb Swanigan Returning

Hamidou Diallo Returning

Fred Simms,  SG, Chicago State

Clandell Cetoute  F, Thiel College (PA)

Chris Clemons Returning

Josh Robinson Austin Peay Arrested May 8th, Suspended from team, (Hired Agent)

Craig Victor II  LSU, Dismissed from LSU prior to start of Conference play, (Hired Agent)

 

Sorry I wasn't able to keep everything updated last night, I was trying to finish painting the nursery for my little girl that will be here in a little over a month. Mom is in nesting/freak out mode and cracking the whip. Well, I got everyone's decision but these two, which I assume that both are returning since there really isn't any info to be found and they aren't on any mock lists?. I can't find any info as to their decisions, so I guess I will wait until the "official" list comes out.

Yea........Purdue is really sexy........in who's wet dream is that true.

[Stuhoo 89,668]

 

Hamidou Diallo "returning" to UK after refusing to play last year. 

• Per Zagoria, came back because he couldn't get a first round guarantee, and determined to be a top ten pick next year. 
• Nice recipe for team basketball and predicted shot selection, eh?

Calipari does a nice job of juggling egos among kids that want to be at UK as little time as possible, but...oof.

I hear the same thing over and over about this kid from pUKe fans, "He's a freak athlete!" Ok that's cool in all, but according to many draft evals the kid can't shoot! "Oh he will be great, he can be taught how to shoot!" Ok, yes they can teach him how, but what if it takes most of the season to "teach" him how to shoot? "Man, it don't matter he's a freak athlete that's all that matters."

I am being to think that I would rather argue with a wall, then discuss any type of subject related to basketball with a pUKe fan. Many don't care that their university has basically became a NBA G-league, or that there really is no graduation rate to really speak of there, they are disappointed when a kid decides to stay more than one year (except for Diallo), and I could go on but I won't. I really wish something would be done about the one and done crap. Make college basketball about being a collegiate athlete not an inconvenient obstacle for the pros. Yes, I know that this is how it is now and there is probably no shot at changing it, but one can hope. I miss the days where players like Calbert Cheaney were tearing up the Big Ten in scoring as a four year collegiate athlete.
