Pete Thamel reported earlier this morning that Washington will be without wide receiver Denzel Boston, the Huskies’ best offensive weapon, along with two other starters along the offensive line. Boston has 52 receptions, 730 yards, and 8 touchdowns and is clearly Washington’s leader in that room. The next closes for each category is 29 receptions, […]

There are just two games left in the regular season for the Boilermakers. Well, the season I guess. Purdue is certainly not going to the postseason. So it’s time for the staff to go on the record about this one. Ledman (9-1): I just have very little confidence or faith in this team right now. […]

A trip to Tuscaloosa led to the same result over the previous two seasons for Purdue as the Boilers moved to 3-0 over the Crimson Tide of Alabama following an 87-80 road victory. It was a game that saw Purdue quiet some of the doubt that had followed a somewhat lukewarm 2-0 start that saw […]

What a win for Purdue in Tuscaloosa. After there was consternation and gnashing of teeth because (checks notes) Purdue trailed briefly in the second half at home against Oakland the Boilers went on the road and did something it has not done in 40+ years: win a non-conference true road game over a top 10 […]

The first half didn’t go like either team expected. Purdue dominated the glass with Trey, Braden, and Cluff combining for 17 boards after the Boilermakers looked allergic to rebounding in their first two contests. Meanwhile, Alabama, a team shooting a combined 30% from deep through two games, could not miss from deep, connecting on 10 […]

The #2 Purdue Boilermakers, #1 in our hearts and in the Coach’s poll, heads to Tuscaloosa to take on the #8 Crimson Tide from Alabama.

While Alabama […]

Ryan has returned from his wedding and honeymoon just in time to talk some really consequential Purdue basketball. He’s also returned on singing day when Purdue signed four very good recruits including yet another 7-footer. So, Ryan and I get into the recruiting class and what we can expect from them in the future. This […]

The first signing day of the early period for the 2026 class saw the Boilers add one of the most highly touted high school classes in the country and one that may be one of the highest rated under Head Coach Matt Painter. It was clear what the staff was doing as they will look […]

The 7 footer was down to Purdue, Illinois and Ohio State before making the correct decision to join Coach Painter at Big Man U. Originally from China, Sinan currently attends Georgetown Prep in Maryland, […]

Purdue basketball faces its biggest challenge of the season tomorrow when they take on the Crimson Tide from Alabama. So I wanted to reach out to the staff and see their key to the game or alternatively what they’d be watching for. Ledman: The easy answer is to see if TKR returns. That’s going to […]

Purdue men’s basketball has been teasing a new uniform for weeks now. Probably longer. If you follow the Boiler Uniforms Twitter account you’ve probably seen rumblings from him for months about a new black uniform. Apparently sometime this week someone leaked it online and it got shared around Purdue Twitter but I wasn’t able to […]

Purdue’s season continues to crash around itself after a 2-0 start has led to an 8-game losing streak including all six of its Big Ten Conference games. Purdue’s task doesn’t any easier as the Boilermakers head out west to take on the 6-3 Washington Huskies who are an even 3-3 in the Big Ten. But […]

You may have heard that the website formerly known as Twitter has been purchased and is now X, a simply horrendous name in my opinion but then again I am not a billionaire so take my suggestions with a grain of salt. You may also know that we have historically shared our favorite tweets from […]

For the first time ever Purdue men’s basketball started it season at No.1 in the AP Poll. That lasted a week. Did I miss something? Did Purdue lose? Nope. Apparently being tied at halftime at home against a decent low major like Oakland is enough to be punished by the Associated Press as they hold […]

Things went just about as expected over the weekend with Purdue men’s basketball taking down Oakland and Purdue football losing to the visiting Ohio State Buckeyes. It’s what we expected, but did it happen how we expected? Well, on the football side of things it was about as predicted. On the basketball side? Not at […]

Let’s not kid ourselves. We’re all adults here. Hell, you saw the numbers in this morning’s survey results, just 9% of Purdue fans thought that Purdue would pull off the upset and quite frankly I thought that number was ridiculously high. The only way Purdue was going to win this game was with an absolutely […]

Fletcher Loyer knows it. Braden Smith knows it. Purdue wasn’t good enough tonight, despite the win, and the second half shooting, tonight’s performance wasn’t the bar they’ve set for themselves. After all, they’ve been doing this exact thing for 112 straight games. That is, starting games for Matt Painter and the Purdue Boilermakers. That number, […]

I know this is a football post, but I think a note about basketball is apt here. Last night, #1 Purdue took on an unranked Oakland team and was given one hell of a fight. Purdue didn’t play particularly well, they are missing an All-American after all, and Oakland was ready and focused with a […]
