And people still like me more than you. How bad does that make you feel?
Sure maybe 2 or 3 regulars here might. You're definitely hated by more. Either way i don't care. Rivals isn't my entire life like it is yours.
Isn't that like saying someone is 10 times the batter that Bartolo Colon is?
I watched a live game where Colon hit a HR. It was unbelievable.
Maybe he did create shots that his garbage team couldn't hit. Assists are harder to get when you play on a bad team.

Watched him pitch the other day. Can you become a Hall of Famer because of longevity?
Okay. Maybe Boudreaux leads the Big Ten in assists. There is nothing showing that he isn't the best passer in the conference because maybe his teammates cost him 12 assists per game.
It is amazing that he's still more than 50 wins short of 300.
Is hyperbole naturally part of your personality or just part of your poor attempt at trolling?
Is being unable to show stats to support your opinion that Boudreaux is a good passer part of yours?
We will know more in a year. What we do know is the kid can score and rebound.
Letting the record show I deleted a couple of comments about @Mgkcbb they were uncalled for and I apologize.
How?
How do we know that he wasn't just scoring because defenses he played sucked?
How do we know that his rebound numbers aren't inflated because his teammates and opponents couldn't rebound?
Actually ran numbers a couple of years ago showing that it won't be out of the question for Painter to catch Bob Knight as the Big Ten's winningest coach (if Izzo doesn't catch him first) for conference games.
Updating, Painter is at 142 Big Ten wins in 13 seasons (10.9 per season). If you ignore his first year when he was rebuilding the roster, he's averaged 11.6 wins in Big Ten play.
He is 211 behind Knight. With the move to a 20 game regular season and Painter being only 47, he would likely catch him if he coaches until he's 65 or 66.
Izzo is 81 games back and is 63.
And yes, the regular season win title is more a matter of longevity and wouldn't mean Painter is a better coach than Knight (or Izzo).
I am banned there too. You try to rustle the jimmies of one Mom on the board, and their whole board nearly lost its shit.
Is that the one that posts with less sentence structure than gil?
For some reason, you don't get the disrespect on this board that you deserve.
Yes.
And it helps that postseason success doesn't matter for keeping him around. I can't see other top conference programs keeping a coach around for 13 seasons without making it out of the Sweet 16 even with some conference championships sprinkled it. Painter's seat is pretty cushioned.
What year is this year's BPI based on? It has Illinois ranked 21st and Michigan 40th.
Obviously, Illinois should be much closer to 1.
Obviously, Illinois should be much closer to 1.
After looking at how incorrect last years BPI preseason rankings were, having Illinois at 21 means they will easily finish in the bottom half of the B1G
It was a tongue in cheek comment coming from a rival on a free message board. If it bothers you that bad then go somewhere else.
What is that back to back weekends? Not like drinking and driving is ever a good thing, but I certainly do not get it on a college campus. Bus system, uber/lyft. Just don't get it.
It's better to have a dumbass parody account than to just be a dumbass with an account.
Yep, hopefully, they re-hire Groce after taking Akron to the NIT.
Just want to talk about the below. Particularly the sentences in bold. It is certainly not outside the realm of possibility, but the "game-changing caliber" offer hasn't come yet because IU is that strong. North Carolina was so interested in TJD that they called, got feedback IU was so strong that Roy Williams never watched him once during the second and third July evaluation periods. Izzo hasn't let up much and Alford has hung around, but TJD played like a top 15 player all spring/summer and the offers never came.
I admittedly read way too much about recruiting and read multiple sites and multiples writers, but the bold is just lack of a better term Fake News.
Recruiting Status: Jackson-Davis has plotted official visits to Indiana, Michigan State and UCLA. Purdue's accrued some loyalty from him and his family since it offered him before anyone else, so it should remain a consideration for the duration, but IU is generally believed to be in particularly strong shape with him and it's not outside the realm of possibility a game-changing caliber of offer or two could come this summer.
Watch out for North Carolina, which seemed very interested during July.

It was an obvious lighthearted needle towards you guys giving you and Snu a hard time. No reason for you two to get angry about it. Lighten up already.
I'll admit when you got me and you got me on that one. I apologized and move on.
Treed is outspoken, and I can certainly understanding her giving props to her son. But then she goes off on these tangents about how hard Nojel and his teammates are working and improving, and it's like she is seeing PU in a vacuum. Never mind the fact hat virtually every team in the country is working hard and concentrating on making themselves better.
It's like there is no perspective for the reality that there are undoubtedly teams in the B1G.working just as hard (or harder) and some of them bring much more talent to the table.I mean we can start with the teams that have been to a FF4 in this Century, much less within the last 20 yrs of the previous one...
Yeah, the first time I saw that one of their people over there was a players parent, I immediately thought...oh shit this isn't going to end well. But then after I thought about it, I figured it would end up being really cool thing for them. It's always seemed that Purdue fans were usually pretty considerate to each other for the most part. However, then I read some of her posts and wtf...
Purdue fans who go to that forum are really in a lose lose situation. We all get embarrassed when one of our own fans go off on ridiculous tangents, and its usually somewhat enjoyable to be able to call them out. But, you cant call out a mom....no matter what she says or does. For the most part, you're probably going to look like an ass if you do call her out. So what do you do??? Its a lose lose situation, but from what I've seen so far, it seems like you all are handling it about as good as possible imo.
