TheWatShot Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 20 minutes ago, SIHoosier26 said: I don't even understand the love he gets from Purdue fans, he has terrible efficiency numbers, he's just a guard who can't shoot. He also has a negative assist/turnover ratio, just an extremely ineffective player in the Big ten. They love him because his jersey says "Purdue" on the front. If he played for anyone else, they'd have no problem calling him a scrub. Remember, this is the same fanbase that produced the belief that Travis Carroll was comparable to Cody Zeller and Kelsey Barlow belonged on the same court as Victor Oladipo.

A few posters does not equal an entire fanbase. Only the crazies legit thought Carroll was comparable to Zeller. Barlow could’ve been a stud if he wasn’t an idiot but don’t remember comparisons between him and Oladipo. Let me guess, the majority of Purdue’s fanbase thought Ronnie Johnson would be better than Yogi too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Hill was as good as Eric Gordon too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Movement (Yogi) in 4 years won 2 Conference Titles and 2 Sweet 16's which is equal to what Painter has done in 13 seasons at PU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKIM01 Posted December 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Other than Yogi, the Movement was a bowel movement. I have no problems admitting that in hindsight. A class that looked incredible when recruited ended up being a monster disappointment aside from an amazing little point guard that I expect will end up in the Hoosier HOF. I guess I can accept that. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a small portion of the Movement accomplished that. My reference was that the movement ended up being one player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muckraker Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 They're eating their own over there. I can't determine what language some of those people are posting in.

FKIM01 Posted December 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 ...and of course, Mama Nojel has appeared to defend her son and criticize the coach for the fact that her NBA prospect son has no offense... BoilerIron said: ↑ Agreed. Needs to be the starting 4, and if he cant find a way to score, then he doesnt deserve to play. He was terrible today. He ain’t the issue the offense being ran is the issue he’s only being told to run the offense and many of you don’t see that yet Simpson can’t shoot either but mich coach utilizes all his players in there offense. Mich coach run plays for each of his players and plays to each players strengths. Simpson not a shooter either yet he has screens set for him to get to the basket or finding his teammates for open shots and yet you say bcuz he isn’t shooting the ball is causing Purdue to loose that’s totally stupid. How many t/o did he have what did he do that caused Purdue to loose by 20 nojel not the only one on this team yet you wanna blame it on him for the team lack of scoring interesting. 32 Treed1967, Yesterday at 6:36 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H00sier Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Gotta say I like to check out the Purdue forum just to read the Treed post, she is a riot. That being said this thread reeks of “post when iu sucks on the rupps site” , not a fan of either to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
