Building A New Orphanage In East Lansing

Doug Gottlieb is a blowhard.

We, as Purdue fans, want to be an elite program. We fancy ourselves a program that can at least contend for conference titles every year. Well, I hate to be brutally honest, but we are not. When is the last time msu lost by 25? We have lost two games this year by 20 points are better. This is ridiculous! Does anyone think next year will be any better? Not me. Maybe the year after, or the year after that? How hard is it going to be for izzo or another coach who consistently has a program that competes every game to take our recruits? Not very, in my opinion. I am venting, yes, but the fact that CMP didn’t get anything to back up the Baby Boilers is starting to really piss me off.
This lull in talent cannot happen again. Nobody can justify paying CMP the kind of money he is getting to have a strong program for a few years, then take a couple off. The future does look bright, but I am also a Cub fan and that team takes up my “Wait till next year”.

Fuck Dawson. Little punk ass. Hope we tear him up

You need to have some special players to score a lot of points, but just about any D-1 athlete knows how to get in someone’s face, disrupt passing lanes, and take a charge. The defense today was terrible. When you’re struggling like Purdue is, one area you absolutely have to do well in is defense.

As I said in the open thread, some player needs to really take charge and light a fire under the team. This can’t be tolerated at all. I was disappointed in Chris Kramer’s offensive ability while he was here, but now I’m realizing just how much he meant in terms of the mentality he bestowed upon our team.

If the record was still the same but there was someone on the team that we could say, “wow he is going to be good”. I just don’t feel it with anyone right now who will be moving onto next year. The only possible time is when tj attacks the basket, but that is pushing it. Hate having to rely totally on incoming classes for our next star.

But Robbie was as dissappointing as dissappointing gets. People have off days, especially on a few hours of sleep, on a bus. I get that. You watch him on the bench though, he just pouted the whole time. There was no fight, no getting angry or getting tough. Just rolled over and died. The team followed his lead and did the same. I don’t blame them for losing, they were flat exhausted. What burns me is the attitude I saw on floor, and on the bench. Once MSU started pulling away, they all just started moping, careless passes out of bounds or to MSU defenders, pathetic. This team needs an emotional spark, and Robbie wasn’t it today.

“Purdue’s Matt Painter said he got into it with the Izzone because he heard this directed at Robbie Hummel: ‘I hope you tear your ACL again.’”

I want a written apology from Michigan State University. Not acceptable in the slightest.

I guess he forgot to sign the paper written for him in his english class. Oh well Syracuse is respectable academic institution, they will find a way to get him back on the court. Show him exactly where he suppose to put his mark.

yeah this sucks… but dang we played horrible… and Robbie played like he had no legs. Look, it’s a bad loss, why are we pissing and moaning over what a bunch of kids said about us. We have to shrug that off. the y got a win, they got their swagger off on that. Now it’s time to get ours… I mean if it means being a little bit “classless” we might have to be… we gotta fight and not be soft about what people say aobut us

we don’t like Branden Dawson and obviously it’s shitty if their fans chanted about Robbie’s ACL woes. Let’s get over it.

has been tweeting during the post game press conference and says Dawson says he didn’t say anything to Painter, and Painter said “I don’t have to take your shit” to Dawson.

To me it looked like Dawson said something first, but that was just my opinion.

I think we should just cool it a bit towards the Spartan fans on here. They’ve been great to have around, and just caught us at the wrong time. We’ve all had our moments, but we need to not let them get the best of us. I’m guilty just as much as the next guy, but let’s keep this a classy site.

College basketball is not showing it’s classier side today.

Looks like Michigan will be coming off of a loss now, Boilers will look like fresh meat once again.

When we are shooting terrible, we have to look for other options. Marcius looked decent when he got the ball. He was posting up but for some reason we are not getting the ball in. Hummel and Jackson should know better than when he is ice cold, that he needs to look for other option.

Joe Rexrode @joerexrode
Izzo on Dawson talking: "If he was, I’m gonna handle it." Looked surprised at question. "If he did, my apologies to Matt."

Nothing to do with Izzo, but long-standing Purdue-MSU honeymoon took a hit Saturday. Painter was angry.

The post game that is…I just think they don’t trust the post at all… Marcius seemed very very slow to me the last time he had a post opportunity (Xavier)…. this game was more pick and roll opportunities for marcius

Great game hahahaha!

Is Doug Gottlieb the biggest moron in all of sports?

I say, without question. He doesn’t even have any competition.

ESPN loses considerable credibility just having him on staff.

Wow guys. Come on. We’re better than this.

Some warnings have been doled out,. I know everyone is frustrated, but I won’t tolerate people attacking each other and wishing injury on players. We’re better than this, guys. Let’s act like it.

Part of the pride I have for this site is that we handle ourselves well win or lose. Everyone is frustrated, but we had a very off day, MSU had a great day, and we had the travel issues.That’s what led to this. Let’s move on and get ready for Michigan.

Realistically I think a top half finish in the B10 and a first round NCAA victory should be our goals this year. This team will have days like the Illinois game where we can beat anyone, but also more games like today. Simply way too one-dimensional on offense and nothing inside on either end.

And this stuff with Dawson? Meh. If he wants to talk shit then so be it. We’ll see if he can replace Green next year. He is a great athlete and Izzo is a great coach, but we’ll be much better prepared to compete with them the next few years.

is anyone else as upset as I am with the fact that the team spent their time on the tarmac last night watching movies? And, “The Thomas Crown Affair”, no less. I mean, sure they deserve some free time… but once it became clear that they were not going to be able to stick to their planned schedule that included a shoot-around last night, the first thing Painter (or better yet, one of the seniors? anyone?) should have done was turn off the movie and start talking about the scouting report, and/or watch some more game film. Then they could have maybe at least defended better today and had a fighting chance even though the shots weren’t falling. Either that, or get them off the stupid plane earlier and either take the bus last night or let them get to sleep earlier for the 4:45 am ride.

Haven’t needed too, but some of those up there ^^ should be deleted.

“sit down coach!” What a classless thug. I hope Izzo is happy with his investment.

M$U!
