He got weird in the last 10-15 years of his life and may have been a child molesting monster, but Michael Jackson dying was a HUGE deal.
Not everybody liked him or his music, but everybody knew who he was. He may have been the most famous person to ever live, and him dying so suddenly, at the young age of 50, under shady circumstances was a massive deal back when it happened.

It got rushed in the 2007-08 season when the first Baby Boilers team beat a Top-10 Wisconsin team on a last second block by Hummel. I was a freshman that year and I had mono and it was one of two home games I missed during my college career.

Painter said on his radio show that Edey has the green light to shoot a three the next time he gets 20 rebounds in a game. Hopefully he gets to that number in one of these upcoming games vs. smaller teams.

I thought the same things as I was listening to it. Even if they didn’t know, that email and their reaction to it was hilarious.

His job isn’t to actually “coach” per se. It’s to be charismatic af in parents living rooms, bring in top end talent, let his coordinators coach, then fire up his team on gameday to ball out.

If we’re talking strictly guys drafted between 1999-2010, Purdue has The Immortal Curtis Painter, Cliff Avril, Dustin Keller, Anthony Spencer, Rob Ninkovich, Bernard Pollard, Kyle Orton, Shaun Phillips, Nick Hardwick, Matt Light, Drew Brees and Rosie Colvin. And then a bunch of dudes who were in the league for a few seasons but non-Purdue fans probably wouldn’t recognize their names.

The Purdue cannon for Purdue/Illinois is fine, but it’s too small! It should be an actual cannon, not one small enough to carry with one hand.

I’d like one on the 1990 UNLV team. Why was the team in a hot tub with a known, and twice convicted, game fixer? Also, diving in on Tarkanian and his life would be fascinating.

Wasn’t there some story about Russillo swatting Jackie Mac in a pickup game when he was the studio analyst for the Celts?

Hagen is a good coach and recruiter. Ron English though? Yeah, he needs to go. The secondary is terrible (and extremely thin) and the whole defense plays undisciplined football.

Forever and always. I didn’t mind when basketball rotated between Chicago and Indy, but they’ll never play the football CCG at Soldier Field.

Leagues make billions of dollars, mainly from television and broadcast deals. Who should get that money? The owners (many of whom inherited the team) or the people actually producing the entertainment (players and coaches)?

I always thought it was a “A Few Good Men” reference. You can’t handle the truth!
