I might be okay with certain other B1G teams getting a non-conference win, but Michigan is another story entirely. The dislike runs deep.

Mateer for OU has downright sucked most of this game constantly overthrowing his receivers . . .
Not impressed, now a horrible int.
Sorry, but Mateer is not. good.

Wow. Mateer just isn't good enough. Errant throw after errant throw, his team looking completely disorganized. If you're an undersized QB, to be among the best, you have to bring exceptional ingredients to the table: accuracy, athleticism, strength against the tackle. I don't see any of these things from him.
Where the hype came from is difficult to understand.

He throws high a lot imo, which is not necessarily a bad thing when they're also late.
His ability to move is what sets him apart. Classic athlete trying to play a style of QB not to his strength.

The refs in this game think people wanna see them officiate instead of seeing the players play. Ridiculously inconsistent calls.

I was very surprised to not see OU call a timeout on 2nd down (they did after the successful 3rd down stop). Given field position, that's you spot to know Michigan probably won't be too flashy and save some clock.
I've also never got it with Mateer. Seems to have a number of the physical tools, but never puts it together. Kind of a SEC version of Drew Allar. Two totally inaccurate throws on 3rd and 4th downs.

Crazy finish underway in West Lafayette right now.
Purdue thought they had dragged the receivers leg out of bounds, but the ball was across the line to gain. Wake gets a first down and covers the 2-pt to win. From elation to a devastating loss for Boilers fans.

Could...could we beat Oregon? I feel like Houser could slice up this defense

While I agree with the overturning, you have to think there was a subconscious ‘not WMU’ again in the booth.
I honestly think he got across on the first effort and was pulled back after.
Purdue still seeking first non-con win against P4 school since 2023 when they won at Virginia Tech.
Their last non-con win against a P4 school at home was in 2021 when they defeated Oregon State.

And they're not even a power school anymore
True but they still were at the time.
Just as an addendum to my previous post, Purdue's last home win against a current P4 school, was in 2019 when they defeated Vanderbilt.
