It may be too early for this thread, but it's never too early to POTFB. 

 

Do we really not have a network yet?

NEVER too early to trash talk Purdue. Just hope we come to play and find a game plan to counter that size.

It's on ESPN.

Fixed the title for you.

Thanks. Ken Pom and the CBS app didn't list it so I quit.

The single most important game of the year,my dad and two brothers are purdouchebags with degrees from there. My life is hell at family functions if we loose, you can only bash them with the old oaken bucket so many times before you get tired.

It's annoying how we haven't beaten them the last two years when we've finally had success against them in football.

This is probably the first time in a while (maybe the baby broilers vs. Gordon in 2008?) that both teams are ranked.

POTB!!!

That is indeed the last time.

POTFB! I hope we destroy these fools!

Big game!

Do not like this match up, again. Need to get their bigs in foul trouble and or hit 17 threes. And, if we get an 8-10 point lead we HAVE to go for the kill. If the Boilers are still hanging around at the 6 min. mark and start pounding it inside we are done.

I agree with you 110%.

Of course, of greater concern is, when the hell is Nat going to send me my trophy for winning the pro football pickem' contest? lol

I don't know, Purdue hasn't exactly been good at closing out games.

Not much change, but updated numbers after Purdue and our last games:

This game is going to be a strength-on-strength and weakness-on-weakness brawl. I hope the Hall is rockin' so hard the construction workers have to test its structural integrity before working on Monday.

[KelleyHoosh 2,263]

Fully expecting this game to be a mad house. Friends on campus have been buying and selling GA tickets for 500 dollars

If we win this game, it assures us of no worse than 12-6 in the B1G and it will be Purdue's sixth loss. Since we would hold the tie-breaker, it would assure we would finish ahead of PU in the B1G Tournament seeding. This could be the difference between a double bye and having to play 4 games to win the tournament.
