Purdue vs. Wisconsin THE ROAD TRIP GAME THREAD!

Purdue Boilermakers at Wisconsin Badgers, Oct 31, 2009 12:00 PM EDT


Hopefully we'll have better news today after the Sandi Marcius injury. that is not the best way to start the basketball season.

We are live in Madison this morning, headed towards Camp Randall for the first time ever  in a few minutes. I actually was offered tickets to this game in 2003, but turned it down because, as always, I am an idiot. There is no video highlight to get us going this morning because if you search Purdue-Wisconsin football on YouTube you only get THAT game with THAT play. We finally expunged those demons two weeks ago, so I am not invoking them again.

Comments are now open. As always, I'll try to leave one or two via mobile web, but since it is so tricky I can't promise anything.

I'm pretty sure this game didn't end with a catastrophic fumble.

Could be a long day

This has the makings of a long day- a totally inept offense and a hit or miss defense. Elliott’s interception was a bad decision on top of a poor play design.

and it actually gets worse.

Off of Cloud 9

… well the next 3 games will really test this team’s character and onions… oh well they had me happy after the OSU win… Another reasonable goal this year would be to win the next 2 out of 3… probably win on Senior Day and win @ Bloomington (road game curse ends and keep the bucket….)

by H Dot Jones on Oct 31, 2009 1:17 PM EDT reply actions  

What's happening?!

These guys are playing …well bad! We know they are better than this! I think the Bucket game well be a challenge for us, IU is up 21-7 at the half over #4 Iowa! Let’s have a better second half…BOILER UP!

by Boiler314 on Oct 31, 2009 1:30 PM EDT reply actions  

One of the ugliest halves ever

Yeah, I guess winning that Ohio St. didn’t change this team as much as I had thought. We were just lucky to have played inept Illinois the week after. That half is about as ugly as it gets. Really only 1 quality victory on the season, although it was a high quality victory which I can’t seem to explain right now. Blah! At least basketball season is about to start

by boilerg on Oct 31, 2009 1:31 PM EDT reply actions  

That was just plain bad

Seriously, how does Elliot run for 1 yard on the Hail Mary? Did he forget how much time was left?

by dbaltman on Oct 31, 2009 1:37 PM EDT reply actions  

oh boy...

,,,,oh wow we left our hans back in west lafayette…

by H Dot Jones on Oct 31, 2009 1:48 PM EDT reply actions  

Catch the ball

wow, we look like we forgot how to play football this week

by boilerg on Oct 31, 2009 1:49 PM EDT reply actions  

This is miserable

These dropped passes are killing me. They’re letting the ball get all the way in to their chest.

by doublegoldandblack on Oct 31, 2009 1:50 PM EDT reply actions  

Unreal

That is now 5 end arounds run by Wisconsin to to the left side. All 5 have gone for at least a first down.

by dbaltman on Oct 31, 2009 1:51 PM EDT reply actions  

Unfortunately

I may have enjoyed that game better than this one.

by boilerg on Oct 31, 2009 1:53 PM EDT reply actions  

on a positive note

at least we didn’t fumble the kickoff

by boilerg on Oct 31, 2009 1:57 PM EDT reply actions  

....

but we allowed a guy to jump over our 3 man wedge to block a punt. for a td… might as well be a fumbled kick off

by H Dot Jones on Oct 31, 2009 1:58 PM EDT up reply actions  

Summers took forever getting that blocked punt off. I was actually pining for a 7 yard punt

by doublegoldandblack on Oct 31, 2009 1:59 PM EDT up reply actions  

still

the 3 guys didn’t even try to block him down on his but when he left his feet… that’s pathetic

by H Dot Jones on Oct 31, 2009 2:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

Ugh

Well, here’s to us playing for some pride. Maybe we’ll score today. Really brings us back to earth. Certainly makes the slate of games left all the more difficult.

by Jfiandt on Oct 31, 2009 2:00 PM EDT reply actions  

It can't get much worse

We got away with a lot of these mistakes last week because Illinois was so soft on the run. There was absolutely no offense game plan to start the day and when the defense gave up an early 10, things just got uglier.

Danny Hope post game Comment

I hope he goes Mike Leach and says that the Boilers need to stop listening and getting love from their “fat girlfriends” and focus down for the next 3 games… lol

by H Dot Jones on Oct 31, 2009 2:03 PM EDT reply actions  

I'd love to see that too

but I have a feeling coach hope will make a ton of excuses and say hang in there with us, remember we beat ohio state.

by boilerg on Oct 31, 2009 2:06 PM EDT reply actions  

so instead of fumbling...

…. our new epidemic is just not CATCHING the ball?? LOL but nice plug with Brees and Orton they just showed… laughing right now

by H Dot Jones on Oct 31, 2009 2:11 PM EDT reply actions  

I'm wondering

when will we win a road game?

by boilerg on Oct 31, 2009 2:12 PM EDT reply actions  

unreal

i know we’re down 31-0, so it probably doesn’t matter, but do we really have to run on 3rd and 13. Can’t we at least pretend we’re playing a football game?

by boilerg on Oct 31, 2009 2:17 PM EDT reply actions  

oops

my bad, it’s 34-0

by boilerg on Oct 31, 2009 2:18 PM EDT reply actions  

@ Minnesota @ Wisconsin

… this looks rather similar… and now the students will Jump Around…. FML

by H Dot Jones on Oct 31, 2009 2:25 PM EDT reply actions  

It's like watching those damn Saw movies

I don’t want to watch, but I have to see what crazy ways they’ll find to kill themselves.

by doublegoldandblack on Oct 31, 2009 2:27 PM EDT reply actions  

YESS!!!

The first completed pass of the second half.

by doublegoldandblack on Oct 31, 2009 2:37 PM EDT reply actions  

LOL

of course if we completed a pass, it would be short of the first on 3rd down

by boilerg on Oct 31, 2009 2:38 PM EDT reply actions  

this is just pathetic

so much for getting better every week.

by boilerg on Oct 31, 2009 2:50 PM EDT reply actions  

haha

I know we did…but I guess its not possible for us to get up for EVERY game, thats too much to ask. They just like to get our hopes up a lil and then SMASH every little bit of them.

by dropnthrow7 on Oct 31, 2009 2:54 PM EDT reply actions  

strange thought...

…. Had Purdue won out this season from the OSU game on out… it would have be a six game winning streak which would have been awesome way to tend the season (bowl game notwithstanding).

That being said… I would rather our basketball team end the season with a 6 game winning streak in early april than the football team end the season with a 6/7 game winning streak in late december….

Just wondering what Purdue athletics must do to get some favor from the NCAA gods….

by H Dot Jones on Oct 31, 2009 2:58 PM EDT reply actions  

I agree

but im just hoping we don’t end the football season on a four game losing streak.

by boilerg on Oct 31, 2009 3:00 PM EDT reply actions  

It was Halloween

but i didn’t expect a horror film this early. Maybe coach Hope will reimburse you for your time just like the Oregon coach did.

by boilerg on Oct 31, 2009 3:03 PM EDT reply actions  

At least

Iowa’s pouring it on iu now
