Rain is almost through but there was a new lightning strike ~4 miles north of the stadium 5 min ago
I don't think you're paying attention.
Most impressive part of the season so far is that Leidner graduated and somehow the passing offense got worse.
Sitting in the basketball arena during delay. Thankfully they turned off the Maryland game

Maryland has 15 total yards at 5:20 in the 3rd. Ohio St 466. 48-7
What's the record?
I am very annoyed with row the boat and year zero. Who wants to be a player, especially a senior, in year zero? This team was not going to be as good as it was last year, I get that. But 9-4 with both running backs returning should be better than this. It is almost like PJ wants to lose to prove his culture is going to have setbacks as it replaces the mess he inherited. It wasn't a mess! I haven't given up on Fleck and I won't do that unless the results are still like this two years from now. I just don't understand why we need a total ground up rebuild as I watch my team being beaten by a team that was a dumpster fire in every way for years. Impressive coaching with no excuses for Purdue. My confidence in Fleck has taken its first (and hopefully last) major jolt.

Its becoming more and more apparent that Fleck does not care about success this year....Recruiting and sustaining the culture is number one...Feel bad for the seniors.
I just don't think returning two decent big10 rbs makes much difference in the win loss column. There are more important positions, especially in Flecks' offense. New systems are being put in place, delaying that to cater to old systems just delays that progress.
You can cater to the seniors or you can cater to the rest of the team and the future of the team.
What is Purdue catering to, because they are kicking azz? Do you have to go 3-9 to get better? Someone tell Purdue before they win more games!
Serious question, what would you do differently? You have a QB with a super limited skill set and only 1 or maybe 2 capable receivers against a defense that has been pretty solid all season. Bout the only thing we can really hope for at this point is that Smith or Brooks can break off a long run because Rhoda is not going to be able to beat them with his arm. Green must be a trainwreck because if he can't get on the field with Rhoda in front of him I don't like his chances of being the future at QB.

Or...you can set expectations to win each game that you play no matter what year it is. [emoji41]You can cater to the seniors or you can cater to the rest of the team and the future of the team.

Well, let's seee the freshman QB, or Croft, or Green. Run some draws, some option, seam passes, dumpoffs. Shake it up.
Change this culture.
They ran outside at least 3 times before that with pullers in this game.
I haven’t gone back and read the earlier msgs in this thread, so pardon me if this has been talked about.
Why do we always have to have a chicken sh!t offense that is afraid to let the players play? Purdue has made a lot of mistakes, but they are throwing the book at us! They are trying everything to win. It so looks like we are afraid to let our players play, and are playing not to lose instead of playing to win. So, so, so, so, frustrating!

What is Purdue returning? It must be a lot more than two RB I guess. Frankly, Mason was blamed for leaving the cupboard bare when Brewster went 1-11. Hindsight says otherwise. Brewster was awful. Again, not saying Gophers will always be awful under Fleck. But, they are right now and it is becoming more clear he doesn't care about this season. I'd prefer a build for the future AND a Purdue-like effort in "year zero."
