I didn’t realize the full depth of my loathing for Urban Meyer until now. I find myself actively rooting for PU. Never happened before. Now I really hate him for provoking that reaction.

My son and I talked about this at dinner. He asked me who I’m rooting for before he knows how much I dislike both. I don’t really have an answer. There are distinct pros and cons for both results. I think my dislike for Purdue football fans here in Fort Wayne has me pulling for OSU but besides that i want OSU to fall flat.

Tough.

In theory, I would have said rooting for PU would be impossible. But watching Meyer this summer with that nauseating combination of smugness and projected  sense of victimhood put him on a level that I thought was reserved for Alford alone. No longer.

Saw that missed field goal and empty possession coming from a mile away. Looks like it might be Purdue's night.

LOL unbelievable. Purdue is going to win this game.

Yes they are.

[TheWatShot]

This is why you hire an actual coach instead of just promoting an assistant.

Purdue is probably 2 or 3 touchdowns better than we are. Sad, really sad!

[DChoosier]

I thought this was illegal but apparently Purdue locks their entrance gates so that half of the crowd cannot leave at halftime. I proudly back the freedom to leave early at IU that  allows 50-70% of the fans to leave at the half.

[TheWatShot]

OSU is throwing this game. I've never seen two roughing the punter penalties in the same game.

[cthomas]

Purdue is just flat out beating OSU. I wasn't impressed by their defense against us and Purdue is exposing them. The BIG doesn't have a playoff worthy team.

It is sad but it does illustrate the difference a coach can make,

Wilson won a grand total of 10 BT games in his last 4 years. 40% of those (4/10) were against historically awful PU teams. How lucky for Wilson, that PU was really bad, as he needed PU wins to get into his two bowls.  So PU was absolutey at the bottom of the barrel but a new coach immediately helped them get some decent wins.  I hate PU but it is fairly impressive.

[DChoosier]

So the OSU QB just underthrew his receiver and the PU DB was called for pass interference when he made contact as the OSU receiver came back to the ball.  Herbstreit says good call as there was obvious contact.

The same thing happened in the IU game, when IU had the ball, but pass interference was not called.  Griese said that was a good  no-call because the offense should not be rewarded for a poorly thrown ball.  Sometimes it is like the NBA where the “stars” or prestigous teams (ie PSU) get calls but the IU’s of the world do not get 50/50 calls.

Wish we had gone out and gotten a real coaching staff like Purdue just saying

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Tried telling you all Purdue was a much better team than us 3 weeks ago. No one wanted to hear it then.

I don't want to disrespect Coach Allen, but it was ridiculous to not have a search to fill a power five vacancy. To promote an assistant is embarrassing. Purdue did it right and we are going to suffer for it.

It would be one thing if Allen had been interviewing for HC positions elsewhere.

Pretty sure I agreed. Going to demolish us hard

[WayneFleekHoosier]

 
Still don’t want to hear it now. You’re too easily influenced to doubt IU fleek. They’re playing great tonight but they also gave Eastern Michigan one of their 2 wins. Our teams are close(they have the coaching edge imo), they’re definitely not “much better” but I know you like to doubt IU on everything so do your thing man.

lol. Ok. I’ve watched every IU game and Purdue game this year. As soon as Blough took over Purdue has been on another level.

Look back through the threads. I’ve said so before IU started its losing streak and Purdue began its winning streak.

I call things like they are. Not “too easy to doubt IU”

Ridiculous.

Purdue better enjoy Brohm this year. I’m guessing he’ll be UL’s new coach after this season
