I've heard that's not a friendly place to be! 9 hours ago, Gipper said: I still am holding out hope Sindelar can play against Wisconsin and IU. Brohm said in his presser this week he does not expect Sindelar back this year. He didn't rule it out, but said he didn't expect it. I would think it would be nice to have, but given his injury history, would he even hold up? Quote
Irishman Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Gipper, as long as you wear a Packers hat or something, you will be fine there. 🤣 Quote

Coach Nowlin Posted November 6, 2019 Author Posted November 6, 2019 my brother went to school at Carroll College in Waukesha and coached HS football in Wisconsin at a few stops. He was able to get 2 free tickets to any game, so I was able to enjoy Madtown USA for the Ben Jones game winning FG during the Orton days. We ruined their homecoming. HOWEVER, the tailgators and folks couldn't been better man. I told my brother, If I knew this place was here in HS it would of been ova!!!! Be prepared for the 2 student sections. EAT POOP vs FUDGE U and of course Jump around 2 Quote
Gipper Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Madison is a awesome place, and the people are very friendly. It should be a good time. Quote
Gipper Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 Headed up there this weekend, off the cuff prediction: 47-20 BOILERS. You heard it here first. 1 Quote
Coach Nowlin Posted November 21, 2019 Author Posted November 21, 2019 Word on the street was that #9 Neal actually went thru a full padded practice this week. WOW 1 Quote
Gipper Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 Camp Randall is and excellent stadium, just as the Badgers are equally excellent. Although Wisconsin did turn the ball over 4 times, it didn't matter much, they were just too powerful: Jonathan Taylor is a very good football player. Quote
Coach Nowlin Posted November 25, 2019 Author Posted November 25, 2019 Wisconsin is an OL FACTORY man Quote

Coach Nowlin Posted December 10, 2019 Author Posted December 10, 2019 Coach Holt has been relieved of his duties of Defensive Cordinators Around the Purdue water cooler, lots of issues with landing recruits and Coach Brohm and him disconnect on how he wants his defense ran, Coach Brohm wants more aggressive style all over the field, but that was the case a many key moments this year, ESPECIALLY on 3rd down. 1 Quote

I would love to see Purdue field a FAST aggressive defense based on getting turnovers and giving the offense as many chances as possible to score, similar to what the Colts had in the 2000s with Manning and Co on offense. Freeney and Mathis were absolute turnover causing machines back then. I think that with more aggressive play calling Big George will put up BIG sack numbers in the future.

"Defense wins championships" is the most outdated idiom in football at the college and pro levels these days. Have a semi-elite offense and a defense with a pulse and you should win 8-9 (college) 10-11 games (pro) minimum in this era. Look at the four teams in the CFP. Look at the top of the NFL standings.

I have mixed emotions on the whole thing because I enjoyed Holt's passion. However, I often found myself frustrated by what you are saying seemed to be Coach Brohm's issues. Far too often, they gave up big plays by alignment. It seemed like such a simple thing to fix, but it rarely was. 1 Quote

Most damning was OT vs IU 3rd and 11 and looked like corner was in Cover 3 Tech, IU WR just ran to the front pylon, stopped, waited, and ball came, CB was 8 yards deep in the EZ, had no chance to plant and explode to the WR. One of many of those awful 3rd down executions where some sort of lapse happened in either scheme or communication. Quote

Clemson, Ohio State have the #1 and #2 ranked defense "Look at the top of the NFL standings" Dallas has the best offense in the league and sitting at 6-7. New England has the best defense and the 15th best offense. 1 Quote

Coach Nowlin Posted December 11, 2019 Author Posted December 11, 2019 Word around the cooler is Max Melton looking to flip to Rutgers, where his brother plays..... Schiano hiring helped there is my guess He is a very good DB prospect, bummer if it comes to fruition Quote
