Not a very good day for the Big Ten so far, Northwestern, Purdue, and Nebraska already lost. Iowa barely leading late in the 3rd. and Maryland tied, although still early. Let's hope our Hoosiers can get to 2-0 after tonight!

Nebraska game was atrocious. Frost committed the worst clock management malpractice I've seen in a long time. Then they got their QB hurt and a DB committed a completely idiotic play that gifted CU a huge first down that led to the winning TD. Painful.

LOL. Gotta love it.

Partly because I really thought Brohm was a heckuva a coach. Nice to see things staying about the same.

Would be curious to see Boilers reaction to this start. He’s a level headed Purdue fanatic.

Terrible loss but I still have a lot of faith and confidence in Brohm. Have to bounce back next week.

I could not believe the didn't let the play clock run down on each down late in the game while they were still ahead. Colorado would have been under a lot more pressure from the clock if Frost had worked the clock down. SMH!

Yeah, unfortunately I don't think one game is reflective of Brohm. I do delight in the loss  especially due to the chant. "Bouncing back" against Mizzou looks to be a tough task. Hopefully the defensive miscues continue.

The Athletic - BREAKING: Star @GopherFootball running back Rodney Smith out for the season, @JonKrawczynski reports.   Minnesota's 7th all-time leading rusher.

 

We face Minny on 10/26.

I just don’t see many winnable games for them. It’s going to be an ugly season brought on by some dumb penalties at the end of games by their defense.

So Purdue's upcoming games are Missouri, Boston College, @Nebraska, @Ilinois, Ohio State, @Michigan State, Iowa.

They could potentially start the season 1-8.

Then they finish the year with @Minnesota, Wisconsin, @IU.

Purdue may be looking at a 1 win season with that slate.

Would be very surprised if Purdue only won 1 game.

I would as well, but it's not a favorable schedule at all given how they have looked so far.

I wouldn't.  Outside of the Joe Tiller years, Purdoo has been a very inept program.

They weren’t inept during the Mollenkopf and Jim Young eras.

Saw some where Purdue was ranked worst fanbase btw

[ThompsonHoosier 3,414]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Purdue end with 2 or 3 wins this season and losing some of their higher rated recruits.

As funny as it use to use for some Purdue razzing, West Virginia has a very loyal, albeit insane, fan base. Doesn't make them top 5 worst when the criteria is program loyalty. List is flimsy and our fans should be on it, unfortunately....

As much as I'd love to see that, I doubt it comes close to happening. I think they beat Missouri tomorrow, honestly.

That'd be pretty surprising to lose some of those recruits.

Why? Last-minute switches happen every year, especially when recruits get better offers from programs that had better seasons.
