Iowa At Purdue GameThread: A Must Win

PrintIowa Hawkeyes at Purdue Boilermakers, Jan 17, 2012 8:00 PM EST
We need this game tonight. Yes, the Hawkeyes are playing some pretty solid basketball at the moment, but they still have an RPI in the 100s. As far as I am concerned, they can continue their rampage of upsets starting tomorrow after we secure our second win against them and can bask in their RPI-building crusade.
Another we need this game is that our schedule gets pretty damn brutal over the next several games. Currently, nine Big Ten teams sit in the top 50 of the RPI, with us at the bottom of that pile. We don't get another sub-50 RPI team until February 22nd when we host Nebraska, and that is one of just two (the home finale against Penn State being the other) games left against sub-50 teams. By my math, we're going to need to win at least four of those remaining 10 Top-50 games to feel totally safe on Selection Sunday, in addition to the three remaining sub-100 gmaes against Iowa, Nebraska, and Penn State.
That would put us at 20-11, 10-8 in Big Ten play before the Big Ten Tournament, which would have to make us feel safe. As we learned at Penn State though, nothing is going to be easy.
The key to all that is holding serve at home. We've already stumbled once, so not again. It begins tonight.

I have never felt so good about clicking the “Permanently bypass this page”, then when the site was advertising Jimmy Buffett night…
Hey, what's the deal with Reggie Peagram leaving?
Was there any specific issue that anyone knows about ?
BTFU !!
nope. But Kelly Kitchel tweeted something cryptic involving the QBs
Something like its good that we have Marve coming back for depth reasons.
So I wonder who’s getting switched. No way marshall/gray play QB here, but wonder whats gonna happen with Henry/Robinson.

I'd say, unless Henry or Robinson have learned to throw a ball, move them
WR/TE are both somewhat thin and would be suitable positions for them I’d have to think.
With Marve, TerBush, and Applebee, I don’t think we need them sitting on the pine.
some speculated safety for Sean
i would love Henry at TE though.

Shame....I talked with his father prior to ND game - really nice guy.
We both were fairly confident that the RB depth was excellent and the Boilers would try to make that a foundation while giving time for the QB’s/WR’s to gel. Maybe Reggie just got tired of waiting. I know the arrival of Akeem Shavers definitely took some PT away, but I thought a four back rotation would be excellent – play the “hot hand”.
BTFU !!
I think it has something to do with grades
He had this to say too:

First he recruits Rapinoe, then he goes to Canada
Danny Hope writes his own jokes. Touche, sir.
On BTN they just said we have a Top 3 defense in the B1G next year
And we don’t even have a coordinator… wat
Their rationale was having the "best" DT and CB in the B1G
being Short and Allen, of course. Unfortunately 2 players don’t make a defense… I’m worried about safety and LB right now.
Yeah, good point about the DE
Russell definitely has the potential to make a big leap, but if he does, I’m worried about teams doubling him with nobody on the other side making any noise.

Do you think he will start on the other end?

but let’s hope he’s ready to go!
Russell didn't seem to have any issues...
Would be nice to have them together for the next few years… along without beasts at the tackle position… I love our line. Now if we could only fix our LBs and get them into position!

Yeah, that's $1 million dollar question.
Would be great to see him be good enough to do so. Then again, who is going to be the one he has to beat out ?
BTFU !!
Evans has been solid for a while
and once the coaching staff put our LBs in the proper coverage schemes, Holland and Beckford (d’oh) played well at the end of the season. Course, they both could be gone next year. Whose going to start at LB? Lucas, Beckford MAYBE, Gilliam?
I want to see what E.J. Johnson can do
He was a ballhawk in HS a lot like Stu

I'm really anxious to see what all the new arrivals can do
The future is in the freshman class and beyond, IMO. And after the departure of the current HC. Just sayin. :)
BTFU !!
We benefitted so much with Kerrigan getting push up front
This year we saw coverage, especially the LBs, get exposed quite a bit.

Switch sides to the good rim
The 1st half shooting for this and the Wisconsin game:
17-60 28.3%
4-16 from 3
Totally frustrated!
I’m having a tough time watching this team. They look terrible and no one wants to step up. What is the problem?

Why dont we rip them out and put students down there to jump around and go crazy?
like every other team in the B1G
I thought I heard that those plush seats come with access to a VIP lounge
and with the play at a lot of our games, I wouldn’t blame the seat owners for needing to stay there and drink.
I don't see many if any easy wins the rest of the way
could be a rough end of the season
1st half woes
bad defense, too many fouls, terrible offensive execution. Typical Boiler ball lately.
Maybe we should go with 2 QB's

Been saying that for awhile

purdue fans memo to matt painter and the purdue boilermaker men's basketball team:
please play better down the stretch…. we have collected a few suggestions:
-dont wait until 2 seconds left on the shot clock to actually look for a shot
-dont leave your opponents hottest shooter take wide open looks
-dont let a simple 2-3 zone completely shut down your offense.
that is all,
sincerely,
purdue fans
You wanna get rid of him?
Along with his 10 boards, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 0 turnovers…?

and our offense is struggling

Oh great
Fran going with the foul strategy already. We’re fucked
Anyone else nervous about TJ being in right now?
I know he’s played well.. but I’d rather have Barlow in for handling/FTs
hit the FREE throws and its over
im extremely worried

That would be asking too much of the BTN

Thanks fucktard announcer for the jinx
Anybody saying Anthrop should be in should lose their posting priveledges.
Bring in a guy who is cold as ice and wouldn’t be able to get open to receive an inbounds… Great plan.
Did he even finish that sentence before Iowa made the three?

When we were down 10
I went left to go play Qwirkle with the missus. Just got back. Might have to be the new game plan because watching these games just make me stabby.
I took care of some work I should not have put off
It usually works well either way. If Purdue picks it up, I pretend I’m responsible. If not, I’ve shown I don’t worry too much about the game and I still get things done for myself…
by Beavis Beefcake on Jan 17, 2012 10:14 PM EST up reply actions
Prediction on which 3?
IU, Mich, and Northwestern would be my picks to win… but that’s a tall order.
by AAMB Boiler on Jan 17, 2012 10:14 PM EST up reply actions
I believe the God-look
would include the scores and smites.
So, let's suggest facial hair for other players
(if it’s not too soon)
In light of the travesty-averting Travistache:
Someone can go Fu Manchu.
Someone can get 70’s sideburns.
Soul patch is good, as is a goatee.
Asymmetrical stuff is too far.
I’m forgetting stuff but don’t know what.
by Beavis Beefcake on Jan 17, 2012 10:12 PM EST reply actions
Barlow with the Fu Manchu
he’d have the Sam Jackson in Pulp Fiction look
70's Sideburn
Muttonchop – which, actually, is a pretty cool knickname
"There's no hope until Hope is gone!"
We can't discount that
If they keep wrecking havoc that’s going to be two good wins.

Wisconsin?
I don’t know if I’d call that bad.
by septimusharding on Jan 17, 2012 10:19 PM EST up reply actions
I call it bad because it was at home to a reeling team
not to mention the losses against Xavier and Butler
In March, no one's going to remember the reeling
Not that it was a great loss, but I doubt that it hurts our tournament resume.
by septimusharding on Jan 17, 2012 10:29 PM EST up reply actions
Reeling teams
are most dangerous, like MSU now getting mad angry for dropping their last 2
I wouldn't call it bad
But sure some genius (like chops1221) would say Wisky is a bad team. And according to him, bad teams are those who go to NIT.
Well, I did not know that we were down by 11 earlier
You can’t ignore this team’s will to win

It makes up a bit for the Butler collapse
Crunch time FT practice was nice too.
25/35 FT doesn’t mean a trend but it’s nice to see.

Season goals:
Sweep Our Most Hated Rival: Check. Suck on that Hawkeyes. You’ll have to listen to Purdue bragging for another year.

1st half losses that turned into actual losses: Alabama, Penn State, Wisconsin

Tie: Iona

Rebounding was great on both ends (according to the numbers)
I was listening on the radio, and it sounded like we missed a lot of putbacks, But at least we’re getting the opportunities. That’s the first step.

But I hope we go with Warren Buffett nights in the future—strong fundamentals, etc. And not being too flashy.

Yeesh, Lawson had a bad game
Only 4 minutes of run for him tonight but he still managed 3 fouls and 2 turnovers, his only stats on the night.
Sigh
So much for Bleacher Report to anoint him the next JJ several wks ago.
