Leathernecks Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 I don't really care to get into the Allen vs Brohm debate again. I am stoked about the win today, and one of the best things about Allen is that he's recruiting depth at every single position. Offense, defense, and special teams. He's recruiting talent all over the field. We could make a 2 deep of only underclassmen that would have probably won at least 5 games this year.

No idea why we’re comparing Brohm’s record to Allen’s when they inherited vastly different situations. Hey, ain't you and your football team supposed to be in hibernation until like September, 2020?

I get that, but those programs were set up to fail when they joined the SEC. They can’t recruit the linemen needed in that conference. Schools like TCU, Baylor, Iowa ST, Kansas St, can play the Spread and be competitive in the Big 12. They’d be roadkill in the SEC. But MO and Ark have just enough history that fans expect more success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 51 minutes ago, IU Scott said: Just got home from W.Lafayette and wanted to let everyone to know I am not a hypocrite. I have been hard on fans for leaving early so today I stayed until I saw the celebration and us getting the bucket. Even though I was drenched and frozen and couldn't feel my feet I was there until the bitter end. What I could not believe was that there were people leaving after regulation and before the OT started. You sit through 3 hours of cold, rain and wind but can't stay a few minutes longer. I was sitting in the end zone behind the goal post on the end where we scored the winning TD. All have to say is that the ref's were horrendous and can't believe how one sided they were. Westbrook was totally interfered with in that end zone in the 4th quarter but no call. I actually thought the one face mask penalty on us was suspect because he rapped hi around the head and the helmet just came off with no face mask, With all of that if we could hit our field goals or actually get TD's when we are in the red zone we would have won the game easily. Congrats on staying the entire game. Last time I was in Memorial Stadium. It was against Illinois. Rained the entire game. Most fans left early. But my son and I did not travel thousands of miles to leave early. That's all I am going to say on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrangerHoosier Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 We pay our entire staff less than Brohm makes himself. Kudos to Brohm though for turning that lone upset of Ohio State into financial security for the rest of his life. Cashed in on that big time. He's for sure been an upgrade for them but he's not even .500 there. If he wins anything less than 8 games next year then I'd feel like he's definitely fleecing purdue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrangerHoosier Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 I'm extremely proud of Allen and staff today. With the constant injury to Penix throughout the season, getting to 8 wins here is pretty impressive with your backup QB in for most of the ride.

Without that, Brohm’s new contract never happens. He had all the leverage in that situation. I would guess that if IU were in the same situation, they would’ve paid him whatever it took to keep him no? So what if he isn’t .500? Him signing a new contract doesn’t just erase everything that happened when Hazell was there. The situation is a crappy one regardless of whether you’re making $2 million a year or $6 million. The increase in attendance this year (Purdue averaged about 54k) helped offset his pay increase. 8 wins next year will be tough. We have a pretty tough schedule.

Muddy River Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 3 hours ago, hoosier8760 said: I would be shocked if he left IU for Mizzou I'll go farther and say I'll be shocked if he leaves for anywhere. After the game Tom spoke of being born and raised in Indiana, how proud he is to have "Indiana" across his chest, and how grateful he is for the opportunity. Maybe it's just coachspeak, but it comes across as genuine to me. I think he views IU as a destination job. How can you sell LEO and then walk away from a team or recruits? I just don't think Tom's that guy, he seems too genuine, Of course I could be one of those unrealistic Hoosier fans, so who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 Kudos to every single player and coach. This was the season we've been waiting for. Looking back at the season. No shame in losing to Ohio St. They are best team in country. Michigan is still in a class ahead of us....but 8 wins could have been 10 with our 1 possession losses to Sparty and Penn St on the road. Such a big step forward and the 2019 Hoosiers will be remembered for a very long time for establishing (hopefully) our new baseline becauses I see another 8 win season next year minimally.

thirdgenhoosier Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 Just watched the highlights again. I don’t remember if someone has mentioned this but really have to like the future of our kicking situation w Campbell. What a clutch kick for a young man who hasn’t seen the field in months!

TN_Hoosier Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 Recorded the game with extended time. Yet, the extended time ran out when PU had 41 and IU 38.
