Ryan and I are back together to talk about Purdue’s dominating performance over the Northwestern Wildcats. Okay, so it wasn’t dominating in any way.

Purdue wanted to try and get itself right against a Northwestern team that was, by all accounts, struggling to do much of anything of consequence this season.

I was sitting out by the pool in St. Petersburg, Florida, this past weekend, and I thought of a solution to the transfer portal that will finally solve its out-of-control nature.
