Oct 10 Utter Failure; Boilers Dismantled by Gophers, 41-13

2015, Football

You're really here to read a recap of today's game vs Minnesota? Purdue football is an absolute embarrassment right now. We've said before, we appreciate anyone willing to represent our alma mater and wear the Black and Gold, but this is just ridiculous. Darrell Hazell is 5-25 overall, 2-25 versus FBS competition and 1-17 in Big Ten games. It's to the point where people are openly pining for Brock Spack. That may be the saddest sentence I've written yet. What's astonishing to me is how we can all have low expectations... we can see years of bad football and adjust and not expect anything great. And yet, somehow, some way... they still manage to be disappointing.

As we've said before, it's not just that they're going to start the year 1-7 -- it's the way they do it. Losing games they should have in hand, only to come back and give us all hope last week, outscoring MSU 21-3 in the second half. And then following that up with this steaming pile of cow turds, including being outscored 28-0 in the third quarter alone.

Minnesota couldn't muster a single point last week against a Northwestern team that just got pasted 38-0 by Michigan. It looks like it took John Shoop three games to ruin Blough -- as B-dowd said, a new record!

Who cares? Why am I still even writing this much?

A trip to Madison is next. Find something else to do next Saturday.
