Could see a little more patience than that, but if a 3-5 horse race like this year, they will expect to be one of those contenders.

Bigger issue is they will always want to be big spenders, rankings hunting in both the portal & HS recruiting, that encourages the annual roller coaster to continue.

Dem leadership seems to think moving further and further right will somehow win them over Republicans, who they still for some reason believe are secretly reasonable and willing to consider rational messaging.

???

...the same people who have 3 times voted for Trump?

Nah.

Still disheartening to see just how many people seem to be actively rooting for real life comic book or Bond villains though.

#Purdue has been solid thus far in the portal.

Not a lot of headline grabbing additions, but a good amount of UNLV players following Odom and some interesting possibilities visiting.

O & D lines still a concern, desperate for WR help, seems like LB has been best addressed unit thus far. #BoilerUp

Trying to be level-headed about what @boilerfootball.bsky.social is doing in the portal.

Filling roster needs, largely getting guys the coaches know, at worst building depth.

All good things.

Still feel apprehensive about just what the offense will look like though as it is a bit of a mystery.

Uncertain what I want to see in a new #Purdue coach.

A passing guru would be nice, but at this point I'd be fine running an archaic ground and pound.

Not sure it "has" to be an offensive guy.

The only non-negotiable is they HAVE to have been a head coach for at least 5-10 years. #BoilerUp

Okay. Changed my mind.

Had come to grips with the notion that Walters would be retained no matter what, but no, not any more.

This is inexcusable. #Purdue has to pay him to go away.

If Bobinski doesn't want to make a FB hire before retiring, then show him the door too.

Not 1 more day of this.

If Card is still in at QB I am moving to radio. I don't need to see any more of that garbage. #BoilerUp

What can Browne do for you? Certainly nothing worse than Card. #BoilerUp

At this point #Purdue needs to just abandon the run. They are getting eaten alive at the line of scrimmage. Not that Hudson Card throwing is much better, but... meh.

How is it possible to rush 8 and generate absolutely no actual pressure? Woof. Bring back Diaco. #BoilerUp

Already done with Hudson Card. Give Browne a shot. #BoilerUp

Puberty is a rough thing, doubly difficult to go through it while announcing a college football game.

IU is a loss to Davidson/Providence away from their season becoming a full-on dumpster fire.

Suppose losing to Gonzaga was better than losing to WVU would have been, but they dumbed down their non-con schedule too much to come away from this trip 1-2, let alone potentially 0-3.

All of that is less than ideal.

Was really excited for the potential Purdue match-up with Kanon Catchings.

Much less so after watching the first half of BYU vs. Ole Miss.
