The Boilermakers have one of the most levelheaded and likeable fanbases in the conference. <BR/><BR/>Best of luck in 2008 (except on October 18th).HudiBlitznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33505980.post-78160257099592905762008-07-03T09:48:16.944-04:002008-07-03T09:48:16.944-04:00To anonymous #2:<BR/>I don't think Purdue's in any position to count NW as an automatic win. I think they're a very dangerous team, esp. if Sutton stays healthy, Bacher reduces his INTs as expected, and the D plays more aggressively. <BR/><BR/>T-mill - Thank you for another thoughtful, fine review. Always look forward to reading them. I think our struggles against quality teams can be attributed to the fact that we have yet to see those "Tanglible intangibles" in Painter, where he inspires them to a higher level of play against a quality opponent. That, plus a bunch of new players on a D that has not consistently stopped anyone for the past 3 years.Timnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33505980.post-64630354091118863192008-07-03T09:25:13.387-04:002008-07-03T09:25:13.387-04:00As a wildcat fan i think you do a very good job of unbiased analysis. This could be one of those years(1995 2000 etc) for NW but somehow i know we will mess it up with a loss to Ohio or someone....Purdue game is a toss up which would be a nice victory for us but i could see it going either way...nice job its good to read someone who knows what he's talking about rather than these guys who still automatically chalk up a victory against NWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33505980.post-5296952577959834612008-07-03T02:00:21.021-04:002008-07-03T02:00:21.021-04:00I think Painter emerges from the fantasy ranks and leads us to some big wins this year. Obviously Columbus looms large, but he does have experience in every other road venue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33505980.post-50993846162275358682008-07-02T20:00:39.413-04:002008-07-02T20:00:39.413-04:00I've just tried to be realistic. I beleive we can win a number of these games, but we play a number of good teams to start the year. Beating good teams hasn't been a strength lately.T-Millhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06658800030850579943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33505980.post-81275032806780420632008-07-02T19:58:59.524-04:002008-07-02T19:58:59.524-04:00Why so pessimistic as of late?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
