Coach Hope thought aloud after the loss to NIU, that he hoped the Purdue Nation wasn't filled with the squeamish or faint of heart.

This week, as people whined on the radio show, he said to one of the callers,

"Don't be so weak, bleed with us, stick with us."

The Coach is correct here- Rebuilding is very difficult...and regardless of how long the process takes, there's going to be some bleeding. Let's hope it stops this Saturday, or at least slows down. This is a big recruiting weekend and fans are important in this process...if you're going to be at RA, make it like the last 5:00 of the NIU game...all game long.

Sack up, yo.
