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.

Cementing the Skepticism: The Purdue Way
For years we've felt it to be our duty here to point out sports media inconsistencies, specifically when it involved our Boilers. But as a good pal of mine reminded me a few years ago- "Why would anyone respect Purdue in the media?" It's a fair question.
Hawkeyes Trap Boilers 70-63, Spoil Mount's Return
The refs were atrocious. Iowa players are still holding AJ. Mike Gesell falls down when his cat bumps him. The refs stole a timeout. Adam Woodbury moves on all his screens. When Morgan Burke stepped on the floor at halftime, you could see the gloom spreading from his footprints like the Grinch stealing joy from Whoville. Someone stole Painter's car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts. OK, now that that's out of the way, let's talk about what really cost Purdue this game.
