You said the SEC has a bunch of football schools with strong tradition...? So my point is even tho BIG hasn’t won a lot of titles they have a ton of tradition and great fan bases with some of the biggest stadiums in college football that sell out constantly. SEC from top to bottom as a conference has better tradition and fan bases but the BIG is no push over. My original point is the BIG used to be kind of a joke compared to the SEC. the last decade and especially the last 5 years since OSU title things between the BIG and SEC in football are now pretty tight. I consider the BIG East to be the best conference in football and the West is improving fast. Agree with me or not that’s fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan, tOSU, Penn St., and Nebraska. 2 of the schools, in my terms, are newcomers. Stack those 4 against 'Bama, LSU, Auburn, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee...heck even Texas A&M. Their heavy weights out do ours. The difference between our conference and theirs is that their "middle of the pack" teams are better. Ole Miss, Miss St, South Carolina, and even Kentucky.

I wonder what the record is between BIG and SEC schools in bowl games last few years? SEC is 14-9 vs BIG since 2014. Good info. Not a blowout but it's having 3 teams in the running for playoffs year in, year out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot Wisconsin. Also Texas A&M should be considered a newcomer for them. Like I said SEC probably has a better tradition but BIG isn’t to far behind. Iowa is a pretty big football school as well. I think our middle of the pack teams like Iowa, Nebraska, Michigan State are just as good as theirs. The BIG obviously will continue to screw itself with the BIG East. to start the season this year the BIG has the most teams in the top 25. Also you can’t say SEC top dogs out tradition Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Nebraska In terms of tradition and fan base. BIG hasn’t won as much recently but all those schools pack in 100,000 people on game day. Just like IU b-ball havnt won as much recently but the tradition and fan base is insane from those schools. Where SEC out traditions the BIG is that literally every school In the SEC is football crazy. It drops off in tradition in the BIG with teams like Rutgers, Maryland, IU, Illinois.

madmax Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 A-M-A-Z-I-N-G I literally watched the entire 4th quarter thinking that I would turn it off when it became obvious Purdue would win. Needless to say I am glad I stayed up. True freshman hits a 56 yarder to win the game! Unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the game on in the background and finished mapping out his draft plans with about 4 minutes left. Fun stuff when the Boilers lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 No way to sugar coat this one for Purdue. Bad loss after being up like that. Last time they played Nevada they got lucky to win with that many turnovers....last night it caught up with the. Interesting that Bell only had 1 catch. No run game, suspect coaching calls, defensive strategy. I'm sure they'll bounce back next week vs Vandy but hearing about Purdue Football/Brohm, their program all since last winter. Losing to Nevada after being up 24-7 is about as Purdue as it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leathernecks Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Also, Brohm is real fortunate they beat OSU last year. If he was coming off a 5-7 season, fans would be ready to run him out of town right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think after a 7-5 first season, going back to a 5-7 season last year would have been a massive blow for him. Maybe after this year we'll see how that works out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
