Steubenhoosier Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Not sure on Riley's personal life, but that might play into a decision to move to the pros. With the change in the recruiting rules, college coaches get literally no time off anymore. They are either in season, Spring ball or recruiting. In the NFL, once the draft is over, and except for the OTAs, there is some down time where a coach can get away for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seen an article that said Riley is not interested in the NFL...so you know what that means! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 2 thoughts. 1) Rutgers is paying Liberty $1,000,000 to play them today and is a 7-7.5 point home dog. (Just kick them out of our conference please) 2) Is it Win/Win or Lose/Lose today for Illinois at Purdue. Win for either team gets 1 step closer to bowl eligibility....which I don't want. Loss for Purdue would probably be more enjoyable especially watching Mr. $6.6 Million Man search for another round of excuses this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illinois is also improving but will be coming down off that high. PUkes win. Though, as Rico pointed out, weather could be a real factor there.

Leathernecks Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 Illinois up 10-0 on Purdue. They're not moving the ball much, could be tough to come back with the rain there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdue has been playing good run defense and has a nice short passing game but yeah..today you don't want to fall behind early. A punt in this weather sometimes might be your biggest play because it can be mishandled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A BIG team that can't run the ball will struggle in bad weather like this. Brohm can recruit all the wideouts he wants, but it won't help in bad weather games.

At least we play on the road in a packed house against an ok team. Getting bounced at home by the Illini is smug worthy. haha... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to be smug here either, but at no point this year has there been anything promising about Purdue's season, either before or after all their injuries.

The thought that we’d have a possible first round DT playing most of this year (he hasn’t played a game and probably won’t), the thought of having our all-conference linebacker have a great season (he tore his ACL right before TCU game), the thought that we wouldn’t lose our stud QB and All-American WR on the same play, and that we’d have our starting RB healthy all year. Just a few reasons why I had high hopes for this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether we win or lose today, I'm still happy to see them getting their butt's kicked. If they lose today, that requires them to win out to make a bowl, and they still play @Wis.
