At least we can drop the fallacy that Purdue posters don’t partake in “fanfic” about others.
Lol you do #1. You have multiple Rivals usernames. There was nothing fictional about what I posted of your income.
This board will be so much better without you.
You can’t see the difference between Purdue fans sticking up for one another versus a random UM fan coming to an IU fan’s aid? Yikes.
What’s his record vs teams below .500? What is Brohm’s record in those same games?
Pot meet kettle. Atleast you’re admitting that’s what goes on. It never matters what the argument is, either. I make fun of CardinalBoilers’ 1980s comment? Pretty light but “sound the cavalry!”
I’d avoid that question if I were you too. For every top ranked team Brohm beats, he follows it up with a disappointing loss to an inferior opponent.
It lets me feel like Girard Butler facing Xerxe’s hordes.
Also, I disagree with Trojan far more than you’ve ever called out any Purdue posters here, btw.
Did you forget you lost to Minnesota? You probably should have lost the Illinois game as well.
Brohm against sub 500 teams:
2017: 3-2
2018: 3-0
2019: 4-2
2020: 1-3
Total- 11-7
Allen against sub 500 teams:
2017: 4-1
2018: 3-1
2019: 8-0
2020: 6-1
Total: 21-3
Definitely better than Brohm but the outlier from Brohm was the covid year. Outside of that, his record against sub .500 isn’t bad plus he’s beaten plenty of teams he wasn’t supposed to unlike Allen.

I guess I forgot that Minny was just recently ranked lol. Far from a bad loss.
Now we’re factoring in “almost losses?” In that case, you probably should have lost the WKU game.
Lol 11-7 against sub .500 teams. Bottom line, Allen beats the teams he’s supposed to, but losses to teams he’s supposed to. Brohm can beat teams he’s not supposed to and lose to teams he’s not supposed to.
Either way…
Allen: 26-29
Brohm: 25-28
When you factor in what both coach inherited, I find it interesting that their record are basically the same.
Who has Minny beaten? They’ve lost to Illinois and Bowling Green at this point. They are not good.
You continue to harp on this, yet Brohm’s best two years were his first two (this one isn’t complete), and Allen’s best two years were the last two.
Well you went to a bowl and won it in year 1, and went to a bowl in year 2. He was trash in year 3 and 4.
He’s had a trash year for sure. He has to fire the OC.
My criticism of him was his inability to do anything in anything other than fast breaks. This does nothing but validate that he did all of that in open space.
I expect a D1 player to make those plays against that team.
Mike Smith edge:
Shooting
Half court offense (maybe)
Davante Jones edge:
Defense
Transition offense (undoubtedly)
Nothing about watching Jones this game or in summer league (where he matched up vs Mike Smith) has me thinking he can’t be a Smith level PG.
For the record, I don’t think Jones is some special PG. I just don’t think he needs to be and neither was the PG he is replacing. Smith was our 5th best starter and that was fine. He played his role. I think Jones will fill a similar role just fine even though he’s a little different type of player than Smith was.
There are a couple really enjoyable aspects of this board:
1) a good little community of posters that like B1G basketball far too much
2) off-season sports fix when there isn’t shit going on
3) the weird posters are either senile (RIP), oddly hilarious (hawkitt), or get so worked up that they out that they obsess over us to a point that is absolutely humiliating
4. A random Nebraska poster who randomly showed up out of the blue only to get blasted into oblivion @superhusker33
For the record, it was a funny reply; and I was too many drinks deep to formulate a good comeback.
So, point Hail on that one.
I figured any come back would be the fact Purdue has beaten Ohio State and Michigan State more recently than Michigan has. I tried to get out in front off that one.
I enjoy a good drive by every once in a while. Like that or when the mossy UVA guy drops a gif of that sisqo wannabe that ruined our final four.
He’s reminded me of a poor man’s E’twaun Moore. combo with good pace to his game, 3 level scorer with some old man savvy to him. But a role player as opposed to an all American.
