I’m moving onto basketball. A much better sport. Are there any Purdue fans on this board? Any thoughts about the exhibition game this weekend in Arkansas?
So now that football sucks as a sport….

That should be a good start OP. Also, ask them their thoughts about IU and their fans.

Just Tagging @boilerz again because it's his turn to pick and he's being a lazy ass.
Will be interesting to see how well we handle your athleticism. I think that’s something that hurt us at times last year and it’ll be interesting to see. How are you guys looking this year compared to last?
Is it my turn? Played golf today and had too many birdie shots! Not sure where I am.
I think they’ll be good, but a lot of unknowns. Defensively, I think they could be elite, especially up front with Devo and the transfer from Houston, traymon mark, I think. Brazile being back should help the offense and they picked up a few more scorers in the portal. I’m pretty excited, but maybe that’s because football has been a colossal letdown.
I think and hope they are better, but who knows. The big guy will be a test for sure, but I’m sure with it being an exhibition game, he’ll get more rest. Really great that Purdue is doing this for the charity.
Should be a solid matchup and agree re charity. Wish more teams would do that tbh.
She'd look better with shorter hair.Pretty sure somewhere in West Laffy, with...
My thought is that one of two things will happen:
1) Purdue loses and many Purdue fans overreact and think the season is in the shitter before it starts, or
2) Purdue wins and many Purdue fans think Purdue is going undefeated.
Our fanbase exhausts me.
Well, as you know, the first game of the season and exhibition games in general are the most important games of the season,
I’m excited to watch it even though I know it’s a meaningless game and nothing Purdue does will truly matter to the majority of people until March. Want to see how Purdue handles the pressure from Arkansas and shoots the ball from the perimeter in a road game environment.
No idea if Painter is treating it like a real game or will be throwing some weird lineup combos out there/trying stuff out that he won’t in a true game. Think arkansas is the perfect opponent to test some of the prior weaknesses of this team though.
I've been here for 4 weeks. Where ya been?
Honestly, I'd like for muss to set this game as a roster min contribution type game.
But knowing his competitiveness, he will want to win and won't see the value of the guys that can be pieces down the road.
BTW, how long before the Ncaa realizes the potential monetary value of these games and decides to take their cut?
I don't know. I'm kinda liking this thing called football...
Great atmosphere and feels like a tournament game honestly. Love how we’ve hung in despite Edey missing a lot of time in foul trouble.
Yeah this is absolutely fantastic for October.
Hope we can somehow make this a permanent thing.
Great game with a lot of intensity for October. Purdue is ridiculously tough inside and on the boards. Every time one team started to pull away, it would flip the other way.
I feel good that we had a chance when I believe that was the first game Edey ever fouled out of haha. Don’t think that’ll happen again IMO.
Yea, he’s a hoss. I think anyone that is going to beat them will have to get him in foul trouble.
Late to the party - Purdue is gonna be fun to watch. I expect just about anything could happen and **** April Madness. Prediction for the Ark game is a OT loss by the good guys.
Pretty sure somewhere in West Laffy, with...
Future wood you Wednesday? I’ll sweeten the pot for Kentucky fans, she’s your cousin.

It's @lurkeraspect84's identical twin sister. I love the way she jiggles.
I heard she broke up with him, but said they could still be siblings. I hope he is ok.
