So Is There A History Here Or Something? Purdue At Minnesota GameThread

PrintPurdue Boilermakers at Minnesota Golden Gophers, Jan 8, 2012 6:00 PM EST
True Purdue fans will never forget February 24, 2010. That night, we faced the Golden Gophers in the Barn and they were desperate for a solid win to enhance their NCAA resume. For the first minutes of the game we came out and were flat out crushing them. The Big Ten title not only looked like a certainty (with two home games and a trip to Penn State following this one), but we were playing like a No. 1 seed and eventual NCAA champion.
Then it happened, forever cementing the 2010 Purdue at Minnesota game in Boilermaker lore as That Game.
I know it has been a topic of argument the last few days, but I will never be convinced otherwise that the 2010 team doesn't at least make it to Indianapolis, if not wins the whole thing, if Robbie Hummel is healthy. We were playing too well and the pieces were all in the right place with CK3, Keaton Grant, etc. We were meshed with Lewis Jackson freshly back from injury and simply looked like a team that would dominate. With Hummel, we get a No. 1 seed and avoid Duke entirely until the championship.
Well, be prepared to have those memories dredged up, as Robbie returns to the scene of the crime. May he go Keyser Soze and lay waste to everyone with 50 tonight.

Ugh....I'm still disappointed in the PSU loss. Not sure if I can stomach another game yet

We had absolutely no excuse to lose that game...
but that being said, Penn St. is playing hard-nosed basketball at home. If IU (Roth and Hulls specifically) doesn’t shoot the lights out from 3, Penn State beats the “12th ranked” team in the nation. Too bad they couldn’t pull out that win. It would have made our loss look better on the national level, but in my eyes, seeing what I saw today against IU, our loss does look a little better. HAIL PURDUE
On a positive note, this game reminds me of
the great job Kramer did of willing this team to the victory two years ago after “it” happened. Anyone know what’s up with him lately? Is he still playing ball somewhere?

Gus is awesome.
The BTN is very lucky to have him. I think he’s one of the top guys going right now.
I enjoy his play by play skills as well
but I have a side-hatred for him right now because the BTN blames his hire for saving money and not physically sending announcers to be present at one of our games and then having “technical difficulties”

Nah, I’m just kidding. Byrd definitely earned his minutes against Penn State and it is paying off now.
We are getting some love from the refs, though.

I've seen numerous players standing inside the 3 point line of offensive possessions
Painter must’ve drawn them a map. It’s a pleasant sight to see.
When you look at the success of the football program
B-ball has clearly taken a step backward.
Not sure how to feel about that half
Obviously I like the result, but relying on the three ball like this has me worried
I think we're ok
Minnie is shooting pretty lights out too, they would be looking pretty awesome if we weren’t hitting absolutely everything. I think our D is not too bad, so if we can keep it up we should be in good shape. Barring a complete 2nd half collapse, but that never happens.

Lewjack to the hoop
Can Lewis hit a layup without ending it on his back, sliding across the floor to the basket support? Seems like it’s muscle memory at this point.
I know right?
Whenever he goes off the glass, he hits the deck
Reaction images? I got 'em

my original reason for the post
was to mention that it’s dangerous. Like a QB sliding down after a rush, he’s got to learn to play safely, or he’s not going to make it through the season. I appreciate going to the basket strong, but you have to conserve your body too.
I'd pay for a full-time masseuse for LewJack
If it wasn’t an extra benefit

if they don't go into a prevent defense with Tebow on the field, they might just win.
I’m convinced the only reason Tebow does win as much as he has is because prevent defense prevents only one thing – winning.
Not saying he’s not a phenomenal athlete, because he is. He’s just a horrible quarterback in my opinion. Until the end of the 4th quarter, when everyone gives his receivers a 30-yard cushion.
To your call once more we rally....
is that because of him or the Steelers D though?
I’m not watching, so I can’t form my own opinion on his performance today.
To your call once more we rally....
What you said above is usually true. He has been good today though. Several long pass plays (30+) and his top receiver went out with injury in the second quarter. the D is worried about the run.

When TJ gets fouled
He should fall to the floor and pretend to be hurt so he has to come out of the game and the other team has to select someone else to take the FTs.
Arby's, your ads also suck
And I want to punch the good mood food dude
No wonder we lost the last game
TJ hit two free throws in a row then

Missed FTs + dumb foul
There’s the Purdue team we know
How hard is it
to hit a free throw every now and then? I mean TJ’s free throw shooting is beyond funny

Would it make anyone feel better
if I mentioned that in Big Ten games, the first team to 60 points almost always wins? I don’t have the numbers on it.. but it’s astronomical. It was mentioned on some BTN show a couple years ago.
To your call once more we rally....
No...
It’d just make us feel worse if they piss this one away too…
Loud noises!

I'm too freaked out by the Purdue game right now, but let us know how that goes..
To your call once more we rally....
Going to OT
and with the new playoff OT rules, going to be interesting.
yeah, this is the first time they get to use the new rules, right? or the 2nd?
To your call once more we rally....
This team just sucks in 2nd halves
We’re not going to make it out of the first round of the tourney at this point, assuming we make it. They just don’t have the conditioning to keep playing the full game. And that isn’t going to change now that we’re in Jan. If they haven’t reached it at this point, they most likely aren’t going to get there.
well, that happens when your stars dont practice

Lot of irons in the fire, got to get lunch ready for tomorrow and hit the hay by 9.
I’m going to have to pass.

It's cool

Omg we had a second half letdown
We won the first half by 15 and we aren’t gonna win the 2nd by 15. We might not even win the 2nd half!
None of this regression to the mean nonsense either! Or suggestions Tubby Smith made adjustments! Painter must answer for this!
This one's in the books
Nice rebound from the debacle in Happy Valley
For those who thought I was crazy before,
the lead is now officially over 100% safe
To your call once more we rally....
How so?
We were hot in the first half, and took advantage. If they weren’t dropping, I might be upset. We only attempted 2 threes in the second half… How is that living by the three?
BTFU!

I'm proud of this team for only taking three 3's in the second half
I’m proud of the BTN for barely mentioning the knee and the game.

Definitely liking the way The Journey has started off their season

still, it's nice to see them giving Painter the respect he deserves

those CMP high school clips were awesome!

It'd be really cool if they sold The Journey as school-specific montages on a DVD.

Was unable to watch the PSU game (thank goodness).
Happy to get to watch a the Boilers (and the Tebows) get a win. Boiler UP!
There should be a Journey open thread.
Or we could just keep discussing here.

Nebraska's in the B1G, right? Haven't seen anything of them yet.
Not that they’ve done anything to deserve it so far.
Crean whooping it up after the win against OSU wasn't too classy.
But what do you expect.
Hooray for inconsistency BTW
If we’d been consistent and lost by 3 and 4 (same net differential) I’d feel much worse about things now.
