That’s social media for you. I don’t think people are acting like experts when they are sharing the most likely and most known about cause. anyone who has played baseball, lacrosse, hockey, football has noticed an AED on the sideline. It’s there for this reason. The training staff is trained for this exact situation. the fact that Damar Hamlin is alive and in critical condition right now is because the staff at the nfl game were trained for this exact scenario and their training is what has kept Mr. Hamlin alive so far. don’t need to be an expert at all to understand any of this, just have to be a sports fan/former player. people using this event as a means to push a political agenda, or advance their social media status by grifting, are just disgusting.

Certainly but they are low probability and probably nothing to do with vaccines like some low IQ individuals on Twitter might think. I think this is almost certainly the one you hear about in baseball/lacrosse with being hit in the chest very hard at just the wrong time. Baseball catchers and lacrosse goalies have huge chest pads just for this reason and yet it’s still a risk even with the protection.

I’m surprised LSU didn’t go down in disaster. Their whole coaching change was messy and BK didn’t exactly get off to the best start in terms of the public eye. 2 weeks into the season their top WR was threatening to leave the team and it looked like a mess for the locker room

Most of it is good….you see people wishing him the best and saying sorry things didn’t work out. but yeah those bad apples stick out…especially those without situational awareness Or understanding of the college landscape in general. Shoot half of them probably believe that all these kids are transferring because they are chasing money and they all have these big deals lined up

Spot on lol There’s a lot of this I completely agree on…but my bias + what I know about Brady just makes it more irritating in some ways. like Brady ran a spread RPO offense his entire Hs career. that plus knowing rivals had him around 120/130 and on3 has him at 40 and the #4 QB of his class. to me at least it’s more about the coach wanting someone with game experience to help attain early success…and with that, it’s just tough timing for a young QB. Either way I wouldn’t chaulk this up as an upgrade or anything. This is more of a wait and see thing….card probably does great for the boilermakers but it’s what happens when he leaves…will Purdue be at a point to keep the success rolling or will they be trying to find another portal QB with game experience because they don’t trust a young guy yet?

I think the worst part about the transfer portal era isn’t even the transferring part its seeing the fans reactions and seeing them attack high character kids for making a decision to leave. A quick Twitter search of Mr. Allen shows a lot of support but also so many “don’t let the door hit you on the way out” “you’re a quitter” “kids these days don’t want to work for it” it’s just effing stupid reading some of these comments. The fans think they still own the kids playing the game for their entertainment…the players just try to do what’s best for their future…sometimes at the coaches suggestion….and it immediately turns into some person shaming them and attacking their character. it’s just tough seeing a kid like Brady go from one of the most adored players in the state and beloved by everyone at Purdue….to seeing people immediately attack his character just weeks after praising him for doing charity work for Purdue or him just at practice next to Brees learning

The coaching carousel did its annual shebang Let’s see…Wisconsin fired Paul Chryst. Luke Fickell left cincy to take the Wisconsin job with Cincy now available, Scott Satterfield took that job and left Louisville. which then left Jeff Brohm being asked to return to Louisville again where he accepted which left Purdue without a coach, enter Walters and his staff I read earlier that of the 2017-2019 classes (the first 3 classes in which the transfer portal existed) 70% of 4 and 5 star QBs have transferred at least once. That’s just an insane number but it’s kinda how football is in todays world….at the nfl level, new coach usually means drafting or trading for a different QB.

Mmm idk i think it’s nothing but a win for the longhorns ewers was #1 in his class…moved up a class and was still #1 Murphy another 5 star guy I believe and top 10 for his class with Brady and then you got Arch Manning?? it’s going to be bad for 1, maybe 2 of those guys…but for texas, it’s amazing. I kinda compare it to Alabama a few years back/now Jalen hurts initially….Tua comes in takes over…Mac Jones gets 1 year to prove it…does…then Bryce young follows Mac Jones is the odd one out since he wasn’t a top recruit…but either way, the top programs in the country find ways to keep multiple high level QB prospects on their roster and always have a good QB room with depth. Texas may have lost Card but they have good problem at QB imo

Well judging by the reports of the texas transfer I’m going to assume Allen isn’t staying now. I have to imagine Allen was told the situation was fluid still and then recently the new coaches spoke with him and told him their plans and how it would work for him….and ultimately he needed to make choices. Louisville is obviously a favorite since it was so publicized that Allen loves the Brohms. Notre dame would be a fun one. They need a QB because of the portal too….and I think Allen grew up a big Notre dame fan Other places might be cincy/wake/Pitt…Washington because of coach Shepard?

Who knows, he might stay. Not a guarantee that he leaves. Sometimes a kid makes his feelings/options more announced and the coaches re-recruit that player. maybe he leaves, maybe Coach Walters and company are like “wait a minute, let’s reevaluate the situation” it’s definitely a situation where new coaches have options when it comes to the transfer portal….and the players themselves have the same options and can make it known

Think everyone already bought a Mockobee shirt haha

This is just purely speculation on my part…but it’s possible that Allen stays at Purdue still. last week the new coaches were quoted as saying “we want to land a high profile QB in the transfer portal” well….now there is another high profile QB in the transfer portal…and oh look he already likes Purdue lol. imo it was a stupid comment from the coaching staff and costly to say. You have two 4 star recruits on the roster including Brady who was anywhere from 4th to 9th in his class at his position…and the new coaches are talking about chasing guys in the portal while Brian brohm and Hagen are running practices but leaving after the bowl game. just really a poor transition to me

Indiana could elect to put more money into education and pay teachers more….but sure rage against people taking better opportunities to provide for their families under the umbrella of government spending.

Well that’s an update haha. Last I knew of, she was an assistant at Bedford NL. I wonder if Mrs Hart ever realized she would raise 3 HS coaches on top of being married to one when she first met Coach John Hart haha shoot…she could probably coach a football team better than most of us on here 😂

Everyone talking about his teaching/admin job….nobody talking about how John Hart now has both of his sons coaching in the same state and both himself and his 2 sons are phenomenal coaches. to me it’s a homerun of a hire. Wouldn’t be surprised at all if he finds immediate success at North Central

3 out of state games….can’t wait to see the Sagarin rankings next year 😂

I like Coach Walters already. today was his first day in WL….and one of the first things he did was get Mockobee on scholarship. it’s about damn time! Kid should have been on scholarship to begin with, but even So I didn’t understand why the Brohms didn’t extend the offer after he broke out a few months ago

It might not be his ceiling but I think one of the best characteristics about Jim Leonard is that he is humble and has patience. He turned down an opening as the DC for the packers in 2020 /2021. He’s also had multiple opportunities to leave Wisconsin and chose to stay every time because he said he wasn’t ready and he loved where he was at. the man knows his limits and is okay taking more time to climb the ladder…and I think that’s a great thing in an era where a young hip new coach is the big trend.

oh I want Barry gone so bad. And then to hire Leonard haha. Leonard would be an okay hire imo Brian Hartline is the real target. Should do everything to land him. He’s shown he is one of the absolute best recruiters in the nation, especially at WR. Ohio state has been landing top 5 WRs every year since he started recruiting. Purdue is in a position where they have shown they are ready for the next step and can play big time games…it’s a more desirable job too being in the B1G. Imo they should be targeting the best candidates. I love Jim Leonard but he is the Wade Phillips of college…which in Phillips own words was “I’m an okay head coach….but i can coach the hell out of defense”

The packers will fire Joe Barry and hire Jim Leonard. Leonard is in line to go to the nfl as a DC not so much a HC….and the people of Wisconsin like myself have been begging for Leonard to be the packers DC for years also I hope Purdue stays as far away from Urban as possible. The man continually has shown he will sacrifice anything to win and he will overlook a lot of things to keep winning.

All I’m saying is that for 3 years CG has won state and for 3 years I’ve read in the weeks after “we wouldn’t have won state without so and so and this is why they should win ____ award” like….CG is a phenomenal program…you could be here next year saying the same thing with a 4 peat….it’s not a one man show…it’s a powerhouse it’s just funny to me that it’s 3 years straight of the exact same thing. Not a bad thing, just funny to me

Haven’t we been here before? CG player nominated…CG fans saying they wouldn’t have won state without that player cg fans saying stats don’t matter long arguments about stats to follow. after a while insert discussion about how the best players are sometimes OL and they never get a shot at this award

Was busy over the weekend and just catching up….OV lost?!?!? i know nothing of Monrovia other than I think they used to be 2A? rooting for Lawrenceburg just because I’m tired of seeing them produce great teams that fall short. It’s their time to have their cake and eat it too

I agree with what @tangosaid sounds great on paper and fun to talk/argue about never going to happen
