2 B1G teams in the Rose Bowl. Should be a good one.

[southsidehoosier]

Do we have to wait til 3:58 for the rest of the bowl pairings?

[Alford Bailey]

That 4th spot was a tough one. They probably got it right.

So it's looking like Purdue isn't going to get any of even the mid tier coaching candidates. Awesome day. 

Cincinnati job opened up today with Tuberville resigning. That would be funny if UC stole Brohm from Purdue. UC is probably a better job anyways.

Both Baylor and UC are better. He would be wise to pick one of those two

I don't think it's 2 B1G teams. Penn State vs USC probably right?

Pretty classy tweet from Jabrill Peppers of UofM:  "We take care of business, we're in. We don't, we're not..& we didn't. Can't knock the teams that did."

https://twitter.com/McMurphyESPN is rattling off all the bowl matchups

I'm not a fan of O$U, but Mark May is unwatchable. Did Urban sleep with his wife or something?

Jeff Brohm is the new Purdue coach.

Supposedly, Brohm is Wilson-esque on offense, but not nearly as big a butthole on a personal level.

Wilson had done it on the big stage. Will Brohm be able to compete on the big stage with a bare cupboard.

He better grab a shovel and start filling in that sinkhole in the end zone

Brohm is the best person Purdue could realistically hire. Miles was never coming. Between Sumlin, Pat Narduzzi, and Butch Jones, Purdue fans have an unrealistically high opinion of that job and love to start rumors.

Brohm did an excellent job at Western and has nothing left to prove there. He deserves a P5 job. 15-1 conference the last two years with two conference championships (that one loss was avenged in the C-USA championship against L-Tech this past Saturday), 2-0 in bowls. Only five losses the last two seasons, four of them to P5 teams (one of them us), one avenged loss to L-Tech this season.

As far as concerns: Brohm inherited a program in very strong shape from Bobby Petrino and Willie Taggart before that, so he didn't build that program from the ground up. Western recruits a lot of JUCO transfers. Will that be a problem at Purdue with stricter academics? Brohm was a great recruiter at Western, but can he recruit to West Lafayette the talent he needs to compete in the B1G?

Regardless solid hire by Purdue. The B1G West is wide open behind Wisconsin. Blough will put up monster stats in Brohm's offense.

Humorous tweet of the day - so far.

So Houston recruits Lane Kiffin to pair with Kelvin Sampson. Who's next, Sammy Sosa or Roger Clemens to coach baseball?
