Stupid and unnecessary comment by him.  

Yeah, don't get his comments......sounds like something that would have come from an OSU home announcer.

Going back, I tried to figure out if he had any reason to be anti-Michigan (or pro Ohio State).  Did find he was born and raised in Detroit and played four years of baseball at Howard University.  I don't know.....maybe holds a grudge that Michigan didn't recruit him in baseball?  I don't know.

Should have extended him

[RaceToTheTop]

If Purdue had been spotted a 34 point lead in every game this year, they would have been 6-6.

Purdue fires Walters

Bummer. I liked him.

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Don’t want any part of Georgia at Georgia.

I’d much rather Penn State, Tenn, or especially Notre Dame.

Regardless, we will have a “talent deficiency” and the odds aren’t great when facing a team full of 5 star athletes but who knows.

Probably can't be too picky, but I really hope we don't have to go to PSU. We've played there so often it wouldn't really feel like the special game it should be. I want to go somewhere else to enhance the experience. 

[Hovadipo]

I’m not sure Purdue can be competitive enough in NIL to be anything better than “not very good”. That job looks really, really unattractive unless they have a well-hidden war chest. 

Their rebuttal will be “WELL INDIANA WASNT ATTRACTIVE EITHER”, but it was to anyone that was paying attention and knew that the financial potential was there. To my knowledge, that potential is not there at Purdue.

Top twenty-five rankings out — IU 9th in both.  Miami all the way down to 14 in both polls.  CFP polls usually aren’t far from those, so would think that IU will be 9 in CFP and due to auto bids, 10 in the bracket on Tuesday set to play Georgia at 7.

since Georgia plays in the SEC title game, I would expect that could change the final matchup.  If Georgia wins they are the auto bid and I would expect IU to be at either IU or ND

Yesterday I wanted Georgia to lose to Georgia Tech.

Today….I wanted Georgia to win the SEC so that we do not open against them. I’ve probably just been sucked into the brand name vortex but GA is one of the places I least want to travel too.

[Alford Bailey]

I’d love to see us play Notre Dame.

I won’t be surprised to see us going to Austin in the final bracket. I’ll believe Texas can beat Georgia when I see it, but doubt they’d drop behind us with a loss.

I also won’t be surprised if we end up in Austin.  One thing for sure is that in the Georgia-Texas game one team will be rewarded for a quality win and the other team will be rewarded for a quality loss.

I think Georgia will beat Texas.  But I don’t see a loss knocking Texas to the 7 seed — because Penn state likely loses to Oregon.  So I think the more realistic scenario is Penn state or Notre dame at 7.

Well I’ll also believe we’re the 10 seed when I see it. Committee has a clean slate this year to apply whatever “logic” they choose to CCG results. We could host or be the 11 seed for all we know. 

[Lebowski]

Regardless the seed this week it will change after the conference championships. IUFB still has an opportunity to host a game is what I'm trying to say if that makes sense.

West Virginia fires its coach. 

Speculation is that Jimbo Fisher might be on their radar.

I don't know -- dude's making $26,000 a day to NOT coach. The couch can get mighty comfortable!

B1G fines O$U and Michigan a hundred grand each for the little rumble after yesterday's game.

The mastermind behind SP+ rankings just revealed that tomorrow’s weekly rankings, that feature every team in the country from FBS to NAIA, have a D2 team (Harding, who is a LOAD) ranked ahead of Purdue.

Oh dear they might have to check the couch cushions for that.
