The reports of our demise have been greatly exaggerated

I believe in the power of the Yuengling. I think I need to add that to the fire up entry from yesterday. We had a sluggish first half today and things were looking grim when down 3 at the break. I wasn't originally planning to drink, but I busted out one of four Yuenglings that was in my fridge. It immediately sparked the critical 16-3 run where someone lit a fire under Keaton Grant's rear end. It was like asking about being a second half team against Wake Forest.
I know, you can thank me later.
So there are now three Yuenglings left, and as far as I am concerned they are the new Red Buttons for each remaining game until we get to Indianapolis. We have one down, and now we have three to go.
I know we won't be favored in the next round, but I don't care. This team showed exactly how it is going to continue winning basketball games from this point forward. It was all in Chris Kramer's "Step up, bitch" stare at the beginning of the second half when he pulled off a Kramer Moment that didn't even look possible. We manned up, and Siena could not match that.

Chris Kramer's mom is a reader of Hammer & Rails. She admitted this to me last week when I met her during the Northwestern game. Maybe this article gets in front of the players because of that. Maybe it doesn't. Maybe the rest of you readers see and get inspired by it to turn the collective karma in our direction. Who knows? If it has a positive effect for this basketball team I'll do whatever it takes.
You see, the media has quit on this team already. We'll be lucky to win a game. We shouldn't even bother going to Spokane because Siena is going to beat us. If we get lucky we certainly have no hope against Texas A&M or Utah State.
But I still believe.
It seems like there are only three places where you still people believing in Purdue: Here, Boiled Sports, and the Purdue basketball blog. Everyone else has resigned that we are losing and we shouldn't even be seeded as high as we are. The committee handed this region to Duke anyway, so why bother to play the games?
But I still believe.
