I am sure you have live a great life! FU I'm from NE Indiana and I remember Bavis, and his story is a tragic one. However, he had a great HS and college career. In HS he played for the Garrett Railroaders which was a small school. There was another 7 footer on the team as well as an excellent guard who I believe went to Florida. Many teams stalled against Garrett because of their size and skill. Garrett was a local and state power house for a few years in mid-60's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loviubb Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) They so much talent and if I am wrong it will be by spelling.

IUFLA Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 9 hours ago, Stlboiler23 said: I disagree re football. Beating IU isn’t the aspiration. If we didn’t emphasize sports like other programs, we wouldn’t have made the commitment to Brohm that we did where he’s one of the highest-paid coaches in football. Sure it might not work out but clearly the commitment has been made. There wasn’t a legit commitment made to multiple sports for a long time but that’s no longer the case. Tiller had a lot of success but programs like IU and Purdue will never compete for national championships in football. It’s just not going to happen. I disagree re Painter never challenging for a national championship. He has had multiple teams that were good enough to win it all. You don’t think he’ll make it as far as the Elite 8 again? As far as national championships in other sports, I honestly couldn’t care less. If we had 20 titles in sports I didn’t follow or care about, would I feel any different? Nope. If we win a softball national championship and one in tennis the next few years, that’s cool I guess but non-revenue sports don’t do anything for me. Brohm is the 7th highest paid football coach in the B1G... Link I've been on a lot of forums since 2000...and the one thing I could always count on were the Purdelusional fans. I had one one time compare Purdue football to USC and Texas when those schools had a down year and Tiller was the coach. Come on... And, no, I don't think Painter will ever get to an E8 again, much less a Final 4. For as long as I've been watching IU basketball, I've also watched Purdue. I saw the 2 Final 4 teams you've had (69 and 80). You guys have had some good teams, but never that good. But good enough for your fan base I suppose. As far as downplaying the non-revenue sports, to me that speaks to the overall mindset of the Purdue admin towards sports in general. Not that important...

I think we are better than them and can get a quality win...otherwise line up ISU or UE or something. Like this route as well. As it relates to Michigan hoops....can anyone confirm it wasn't a player on team but someone within athletic department? This seems really fishy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems very odd....to shut down an entire athletic department for 2 weeks because someone linked to the department tested positive.

Maybe schedule a quick game with ISU/Ball St/IUPUI,etc... I don’t think we can do that. We are at our NCAA allowed 27 games scheduled this year.

Or some other personnel that is in frequent contact. I have a friend that has worked in Athlete Departments at multiple schools. She was neither of those positions but still interacted with the athletes quite a lot. I'm sure the coaches meet with people in the department on a regular basis so there's probably at least one person there that sees all of them often, as well. The point is that there is nothing "fishy," "odd," or "strange" about this. I'll give you that it's "not normal," but what is normal this season? It makes perfect sense if it's someone in the AD that interacts with many or all the teams in some fashion on a regular basis. If it was a single athlete or coach in a single sport then it might be an overreaction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan is so concerned and protective of their players...that they played a game Friday night after opponent had 2 positives....but 36 hours later when someone (not a player or coach) tests positive and the whole thing is shut down for 2 weeks? The consistency there is lacking. PS....the more I think about it. Hats off to Painter for playing that game Friday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of their reaction seems to be due to the fact that it's the new strain which is much more easily transmitted. The ESPN article I just read that was linked in another thread here said "positive tests" which indicates more than one person has it. That article does sound like they're erring on the side of caution but I still think it's likely not just athletes and/or coaches from a single sport that has it but probably someone in the athletic department who could have spread it between sports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are always going to be the crazies that made bogus claims lol. That happens with every fanbase. Tiller had us in a really good position before the Wisconsin fumble. Painter made the Elite 8 with maybe the 4th or 5th most talented team he had at Purdue. Of course it’s not a guarantee but I’d be very surprised if he doesn’t make another E8. The Hummel teams if healthy were easily good enough to make the E8. With a healthy Haas, we could’ve made it too.

Bustout Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) Is expanding the field this year out of the question? From a COVID perspective and logistical perspective, definitely not ideal. But the committee will have their work cut out for them looking at number of games played. Would they take a .500 team from the B1G that played 16-18 conference games or a 13-9 team from a much lesser conference that lost 4 games due to Covid (just example numbers)? probably still obviously come down to who you beat and didn’t (quad wins/losses). Without any conference tourneys, no bid stealers. IF IU can somehow get to .500ish in conference and finish there, the win vs Iowa will look phenomenal.

Yes. It was actually the MI Health Dept that shut them down due to 5 positive tests and 15 presumed positive of the new virus variant in the athletic department. Apparently an athlete had traveled to the UK recently. https://www.si.com/college/2021/01/24/michigan-athletics-suspended-new-covid-19-variant 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
