Interesting #5 Indiana #6 Purdue #7 Notre Dame
The wikipedia page is a good source for the big ten tourney schedule. Looks like #1 and #4 seeds are locked. If I'm seeing things correctly, Michigan is a near lock as the #2 seed. All they have to do is win @PSU. OSU can only tie UM at best and that's if they win @MSU. UM holds the tiebreaker. So what that means for us is if we beat the Hoosiers we are the #5 seed and play Wiscy (after beating Neb). If we beat them we'd play MSU in the semi game. If we lose to the Hoosiers we would be the #6 seed and play OSU (after beating Neb). If we beat them we'd play Michigan in the semi game. Penn St. and Nebraska should both lose the last game tying for last place. Their tiebreaker is determined by who wins the IU/Purdue game since they split and each one's best win would be IU or Purdue. Either way it works out that we would definitely play Nebraska. I like this. Personally I would rather have the #6 seed route but that means losing to IU. This would be the only benefit to losing but I absolutely don't want to lose to IU. We may be able to beat Wiscy easier than OSU but I like our chances against both. But then I'd rather play Michigan than MSU in the semi final.
Ronnie Johnson made one of four squads to participate in the All-American Championship in New Orleans around the time of the final four. He is on a team with Yogi, Hanner, Hollowell, G-Rob III and...
I myself have hated several IU players. Personally, I would have to go with Luke Recker. He wasn't even at IU for all his playing years. One memorable play does it for me. Against us he stopped...
I think the 0.7 turnovers per game less Wiscy is averaging will be hard to overcome but maybe we can get that trophy. I'd be for letting Danny hold on to the thing in his trophy case. It really would look pretty good next to the Kick Off Return Yards trophy.
Hey everyone, I wanted to give a quick introduction with my background and mention some sports related moments I thought were memorable from my time at Purdue. Then I will name my 10 all time...
This guy is the 14th ranked dual threat QB according to Rivals. We already have the #18 (Marshall) and #24 (Gray) ranked dual threat QB's. Although, Gray should be playing WR but still. Gregory doesn't have an offer from us yet and has some other decent offers. He lists Minny with high interest and Purude medium interest with the rest being low interest (Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas, among others). He even took an official visit to Purdue last week.
Hell yeah! Gotta love it.
As much talk there has been lately about us needing/wanting to get our first NCAA championship I just wanted to compare our history to the rest of the league. As you can see there plenty of teams...
http://purdue.rivals.com/ It can be hard to get excited about a 4 star recruit at Purdue with the lack of success they have generally provided us but this looks like a good get. It fills a need...
Northern State BEAT Butler
What?!? 53-50 N. State wins. We even wore them down for Butler. I wonder what happened. I know winning isn't the most important thing in exhibition games but come on.Opens up his recruitment. That didn't take too long. Probably pretty good odds it was going to happen. He'll probably end up going to Notre Dame now. I guess Hoosier fans wouldn't be mad after...
Interception return for a Touchdown. Way to go Ryan! Nice start to the season. Go get that rookie of the year award. Now if the Purdue defense can channel a little Ryan Kerrigan. OK, the team...
Austin Appleby was named as a final Elite 11 quarterback. The show airing on ESPN now is pretty awesome with Austin in the spotlight quite a bit. He looks like a great prospect. He appears to...
