IUFLA

They do look comfy, and they have to be next to the standard issue boots...or the jump boots...or the jungle boots... Look like they'd be kinda warm on the feet though...Waterproof?

Your fingers musta been worn out that night, then...

What's that got to do with anything? IU board, and I'm an IU fan... Yet minutes after the game, you broke your neck getting here to tell us what a great year you'd had, regardless of the loss... Yeah, we're in that noggin alright...

Whatever you want to believe 😂 You know, I don't agree that IU lives rent free in y'all's heads...you pay us to be there...chanting "IU Sucks!" 10 minutes before the most important Purdue game in almost half a century pretty much certifies that... I don't remember exactly what I was thinking right before the 2002 NC games, but I can flat guarantee you Purdue wasn't any part of it... And afterwards I damn sure wasn't cruising my rivals message boards trying to argue what a sensational year we'd had...

So this is what we're supposed to believe? That initially, Purdue didn't believe in or participate in NIL... Until Edey needed a payday... And now Gillis is moving on, not because of NIL because he makes plenty at Purdue, but because prior to the season Painter told him he'd lose minutes? So he went out, won B10 6th man of the year, averaged 21 mpg on the best Purdue team in 44 years, and he's leaving because he wants 9 mpg more? Do I have this right? 😂😂😂

Dudes like Terrance Shannon and Tyson Walker get big playing time and nice NIL money at a P6 school...not undersized 4s that average 7ppg... If you think he's gonna go somewhere and be a centerpiece, you're delusional...

There are other boards you can post on... But I understand...you're insatiable need for validation can only come from Big Brother...

Baloney...he was 6th man of the year in the Big 10...he wants to start and get 30+ minutes a game he's not getting that at any school in a P6 conference, and the alternatives don't provide "nice NIL paydays."

Or maybe this whole "Purdue guys play for the name on the front" isn't flying so well as the NIL era really kicked in and they're tired of being suckers... Kids like Catchings, Heide, and Colvin will eventually catch on too...

And Lebron is sad 😢

My oldest daughter and her hubby took me to Schlafly's Brewpub last time I visited, and I really liked all of the beers I tried. The food was good as well...

Words I thought I'd never hear concerning college basketball... Unless, of course, before NIL I'd have had an aneurism and became a UK fan...

To what? 7 feet? He doesn't take outside of 5 because he can't MAKE outside of 5...

Beside the lucky banked in 3 Edey made against us, I've STILL never seen him score a basket outside 5 feet from the rim...

Christ sakes why didn't you throw George Mikan in there 🙄

I'd think Bradshaw would be a higher priority...a lot like Ware in both stature and freshman experience (although his was more injury related)... I don't know if it matters, but Bradshaw is from Jersey and was an AAU teammate of Mackenzie Mgbako per @The Daily Hoosier... And as I said, I'd give Payne's back plenty of attention before I made a serious pitch

Yeah, sub .500... 13-19 (69%) in his last 4 games though... I just wish he had a different game, because he's one of the toughest, hardest playing kids in our league...

Well, not quite...Your "case" was that they lost 2, and we lost 4...But boiled down to playing time that didn't pan out for ya... Both CJ and Kaleb had chances to increase their playing time, and they simply didn't...And I'm not sure Sparks, as nice as a kid as he was, was ever P6 material... As far as improvement goes, Ware seemed to make quite a jump...Agreed?

Got that John Gotti look goin'...

Come on now...We lost 3 kids who were riding the bench for most of the season, and a kid who probably vaulted himself into the first round of the draft... They lost 2 starters... For what it's worth, the 4 we lost, including Ware, played 1700 or so minutes...The 2 they lost played over 1900

I...I...I can't...

I saw a 300 lb gal walking out of The Woodlands Costco on Sunday wearing a Purdue shirt, and carrying 2 full sized cakes...and I had that same thought...
