J Money, Boilerdowd, and Aneesh reconvene to talk about Commodore Hazell (impressively) not losing the locker room last week, the meaningfulness of close wins versus bad teams, Darrell Hazell's heel click, projecting Purdue's remaining wins, piling up injuries on an already-thin roster, whether Purdue and Illinois would agree to play each other nine times during the Big Ten slate, and PJ Fleck's lunacy winning us over. All that, plus Dowd's tragic post-unicycling accident eulogy, Aneesh/Dowd's pledge to record the next podcast naked (and Hazell coaching the Northwestern game in only a vest and hat) if Purdue wins 3 of the next 4 games.

Coach Haze ices Illinois while leading his Boilers to a somewhat improbably victory.
Can’t Find a Better Man So Hazell Is Still Here – The Illinois Predicto
This week’s exercise instead of really, seriously analyzing this dog of a football game is for each of the BS team to reveal their five favorite songs…. Either all-time or current, if you’re a wimp like Aneesh who is worried that he’ll be made fun of for putting down a Nickelback song. Join us...and share your thought.
At This Point, It’s Just A Matter Of Time
At this point, the dismissal of Darrell Hazell feels like it must just be a matter of time. Things cannot continue to go on like this, even at a place as football tone deaf as Purdue.
We Gave Up The Ship: Commodore Hazell's Postgame Letter
Commodore Hazell sunk the ship. We found the letter he sent home, to his dearest Martha.
Boilers Struggle Past Wolf Pack, Lurch Toward Conference Play
Purdue football returned to action Saturday, recovering from a poor first half to hold off Nevada, 24-14. David Blough was 21 for 30 for 300 yards and 2 TDs, including a 51-yarder to Brycen Hopkins for the clinching TD, and Markell Jones carried 24 times for 124 yards and the go-ahead TD in the third quarter.
New Shooter, Comin’ Out! The Nevada Predicto
Each BS'er was given a 100 word limit on this week's game vs Nevada, but as much as they wanted to describe their perfect gameday snacking preferences. Surely, that's more interesting to our readers than breaking down this matchup. Also, the photo posted above was chosen purely for the value of showing what a kid from Brian Bosworth and Martina Navratilova would look like.
Coach Hazell Calls a Team Meeting
Coach Hazell called the players together this week to discuss what he considers among the most important focal points for Saturday's game vs Nevada.
After Four Years, Hazell's Squad Shows No Progress vs. Cincy
Hazell was deflated in his first game as a Purdue coach in Cincinnati...and in his 37th, this time at home in front of a few disgruntled, wet and loyal fans, Purdue was beaten up again.
Undefeated Purdue Continues to Dominate (Only) the FCS, Beats EKU 45-24

The 2016 Edition: The Depressing Timeline of Purdue Quarterbacks since 2009
8 starting quarterbacks in the last 7 seasons, what could go wrong?
Cradle of Hazellbacks
Darrell Hazell has named his fourth starter in his four years as head coach. I guess after all our complaining about Danny Hope being too loyal, this is what we get.
Time to Make Lemonade, Boilers
The guys that signed yesterday and the handful of early enrollees are officially Boilermakers. Here’s the thing- you and I might not be super impressed with the individual rankings of these kids or the fact that this class is the lowest-ranked recruiting class that I can remember as a Purdue fan…but if you’re like me, you’re a Boilermaker too…you have no fallback team in the autumn. This is your squad.
Good luck, Boys!
Danny Etling headed out of God's Country quite smartly when it looked like he'd be buried under a few QBs on the depth chart...Austin Appleby officially joined him this evening, ending speculation that he'd be going elsewhere for his final season of eligibility.
