Control what you can control. Fast, physical, relentless…

Absolutely nothing to do with college football.  This took place in a high school JV game in Kalamazoo, MI.  Incredible to believe it actually happened.

Yeah really frustrating that our so called real conference opponents these two years of Cig have all been on the road. 

I agree but next year we get OSU and USC at home and PSU/UM the following year.

Yeah, I don't care if the kid is a big time recruit or not, he would not be playing for me again after that.  That is totally uncalled for.

As we know most of the ACC is a joke. UNC isn’t playing Miami or Florida State and their upcoming conference games are:

Clemson, Cal, Virginia, Syracuse, Stanford, Wake Forest, Duke, NC State.

Plenty of losses for UNC but we would easily run the table on that schedule.

Great opportunity.

Purdue Football has now gone two straight games without forcing a single punt.

We'll finally get our first ever win against the Trojans next season.

Illinois is going to be out for blood next week. Might make it 3 games. 
 

Looking at their schedule not certain Purdue gets another win this year. Rutgers is there chance.

I hope I’m wrong but PU doesn’t look as hapless as they have the past two years. I’m guessing there will be a “everything went right” game they will win. 
Needless to say that better not happen (it won’t) against us.

Ryan Browne is probably good enough to get them 1-2 more wins. He was a Jeff Brohm recruit, and Brohm was excited about landing him. It helps that he's 22 years old and somehow only a sophomore.

Hope Illinois beats USC to make our win look better.

The added bonus is that it would make ND look worse if they lose to USC.

FPI is a flawed metric, but it has Purdue at ~3.5 wins with a 45% chance of victory at Northwestern and 36% against Rutger so basically two coin flip games coming up.

With the ACC announcement of a 9-game conference schedule and a required P4 non-con game, I'd guess that we're days or weeks away from the Big Ten announcing a required P4 non-con as well.

... as athletic directors frantically call Boston College, Va. Tech, or Stanford to schedule a game.

I wonder if Cig will try to schedule cross country trips or other schools in the area.  Kentucky, Louisville, and Mizzou come to mind and would be fun matchups to have a rotation of.

It'll be tough in the short-term to get these matchups set. For example, Louisville and UK are on each others' schedules through like 2030. I very much enjoyed that short Mizzou series back in the KW days.

I think Cig will try to be intentional with his matchups by playing schools in regions that we recruit well. UVA (if there aren't sour grapes from the series cancellation) VT, the research triangles schools etc.
