There might be a few inches of snow on the ground in Indiana this morning, but it is officially baseball season. Purdue is just four days away from its home opener at Alexander Field, and this year it is a Big Ten series that will begin the home slate. The expansion of the conference to […]

This week in Purdue basketball went as poorly as one could possibly imagine. An 0-2 week including a loss on the road to a bubble team, and fan infighting the likes of which we’ve not seen in quite a few years. It left a bad taste in my mouth so of course I had to […]

This game wrap is sponsored by our friends at Section 103. They just launched their new Purdue collection in time for March Madness. They’ve got high quality shirts and hats with some different designs you won’t see elsewhere. I’m thinking especially about the Mackey Arena shirt and the World’s Largest Drum shirt. They’ll also be […]

Sometimes as fans we feel like the things that we do during games, or before games, impacts the outcome of our favorite sporting events. It’s an absurd thing to think and absolutely nobody with anyone intelligence truly believes that some sort of universal sports god is watching what we are doing and making decisions on […]

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been afraid of dying. Not death. But dying. I understand that everyone dies, but my own death has always haunted me. I remember being 7 or 8 years old, sharing a room with my older brother, lying awake thinking about what happens when you die. For many […]

Coming off their fourth home loss of the season the Boilermakers will head on the road to Columbus to face the Buckeyes. The Buckeyes are losers of two straight with losses to Michigan State and Iowa. That loss to Iowa was especially brutal as they lost by 17 on the road and the game wasn’t […]

After yesterday’s gut punch of a victory I think it’s time we take a step back and remember the bigger picture. Let’s remember that this is just the regular season and it does not define this team. This team has always had bigger goals. The regular season is important of course because it sets the […]

This was a tough one. Both teams feelt dead even all night long. Michigan State got a late push, Purdue had two chances to tie or win at the end, and didn’t pull it off. Damn good classic Big Ten basketball game. This will go easier if I dive right into the bullet points: Can […]

Coming into Mackey Arena against a Michigan State team that you’re tied with in the conference standings, and have identical overall records as well, you knew this thing was going to be a dog fight. And no, I’m not referring to Ripper who performed it frisbee dog halftime entertainment. Well, the first half lived up […]

When you look on the sidelines today in Mackey Arena you’ll see two Big Ten legends as Matt Painter and the Boilermakers take on Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Spartans. This is a game with huge implications in the Big Ten standings as the two teams sit tied for 4th place with the winner […]

While Indiana and Purdue is the rivalry in the state of Indiana, there might not be a better rivalry in the Big Ten in the last two decades than Purdue and Michigan State. Matt Painter and Tom Izzo are living legends and will have claims for best coaches in conference history when their careers are […]

The Big Ten is lost. Michigan officially locked up at least a share of the conference last night with three games to go, and unless they lose at Illinois, at Iowa, and at home against Michigan State Purdue will have to wait another year for that elusive 27th Big Ten championship that was almost considered […]

It was a wild week in the top 25 as seemingly everyine in the top 10 dropped at least one game. Michigan, Hosuton, Iowa State, UConn, Purdue, and Illinois were all top 10 teams that lost at least once last week, but most of those losses were to other top 10 teams. That means mostly […]

Now that’s what a Final Four team is supposed to look like! Purdue fired on all cylinders in a home blowout of the Indiana Hoosiers in a game that the Boilers used to vault themselves firmly into the 2 seed line for the NCAA Tournament committee’s pre-selection show. The Boilers overwhelmed an overmatched Hoosiers squad […]

On this episode of the podcast Ryan and I talk about the life and legacy of Rondale Moore, the Purdue Boilermaker who passed away over the weekend. This was not fun to record and I think you can tell in my voice that I was struggling. He was just so young at just 25 years […]

Through five innings of Saturday’s game with Baylor Purdue’s trip to the prestigious Round Rock Classic looked like it was going to be an 0-fer. The Boilermakers had already lost to Southern Miss on Friday evening and they trailed Baylor 5-0 through six. With No. 12 Oregon State waiting on Sunday an 0-3 trip looked […]

Purdue fans will always remember October 20, 2018. Now both major stars from that night are gone way too soon. Yes, that was Tyler Trent’s big night as Purdue thumped No. 2 Ohio State 49-20, but it was Rondale Moore who put on a show that night. The call of, “HE’S STILL GOING!!!” when he […]

In the NCAA bracket preview, Purdue was listed as the 8th overall team and the lowest 2-seed in the selection committee’s bracket preview. That’s a strong showing for a team who, just a few weeks ago, was in the midst of a three game losing streak and very apparent struggles that many began questioning the […]

In last night’s blowout win against our in state rival, the Indiana Hoosiers, Braden Smith and Fletcher Loyer broke yet another record for Purdue basketball. They started their 137th game for Matt Painter, breaking the previous record of games started, held by E’twaun Moore, at obviously, 136. From there, Vince Edwards started 126 and Brian […]

We’ve made it to the weekend once again folks. That means I’ve got survey results for you. I didn’t want to put these on the site yesterday for fear that they get lost in the shuffle with the IU game coming up that evening. So instead I am dropping them this afternoon for your reading […]

Purdue has been on an incredible run in the four seasons that Braden Smith, Fletcher Loyer, and Trey Kaufman-Renn have been in West Lafayette. The trio have gone an impressive 108-23 mark that includes a pair of Big Ten title and a National Runner-Up finish. Four of those losses had come at the hands of […]

I hesitate to say that any game at this point in the season is a must win for the Boilermakers with the Big Ten race out of reach, but this game against IU, in Mackey Arena, certainly felt like one that Purdue really needed just for their mental peace. Oh, and seeding, they needed it […]
