I don't believe Josh will stand for that.

Why couldn’t Katin hit any targets today? He’s been pretty accurate until now and he just missed so many open hands. Against Purdue?? Weird.

I get the defense looking bad but why aren't we scoring against these guys? I'd expect us to at the very least keep pace. Thought we'd trade TDs for FGs and win that way but not happening.

I do not know why we are looking this bad. Purdue (Purdue!) is taking away all of our options? HAVE TO scrap out a win somehow.

What happened?! I mean all Hauck would say is that he fell in love with coaching again, etc. I know the defense has been poor but honestly we didn’t get rolled like we did last year against Indiana. This is strange for Bret. Must’ve been some verbal disrespect somewhere between Hauck and Bret...

The 4x-1x has bothered me every time I see it on the bottom of my screen bcuz every idiot is seeing that and thinking blowout. Game wasn't like that.

Start of season - bowl game YES After Duke - bowl game NO After today - bowl game YES

Very impressed with the total yards for the good guys

We won a quarter against Ohio State!

This was very close to being a decent half for us. I would've taken 21-10 and it could've been 21-14 if Houser hits that TD pass. Alas, a few plays missed on both sides of the ball shows in the score. My biggest surprise is that OSU is doing it through the air when I thought their game plan...

We will lose; it's OK. Just don't make it embarrassing for: 1- the team so that they keep their heads up and continue to work hard, and 2- our fans so they keep coming to the games and supporting the team, and 3- any recruits/transfers looking at us so that they know we can be competitive...

I'm disappointed but mainly just confused. Offense had wide open lanes and routes in the first half; there's no way Duke adjusted that much to hold this offense down. You'd like to think Lunney saw some new things and that's why he called the plays he did, but I can't understand it. Defense...

Did X ever come back that half?

I enjoyed The Odyssey; saw it twice and liked it better the second time. Not one of Nolan's best IMO but a good watch. In the 70mm IMAX screening there was a sample scene of Dune 3 prior ... OMG that looks SO good!! I did see Disclosure Day awhile ago and it was okay but had some glaring...

I'm expecting 7-5 with a bowl game win, or 8-4 with a bowl game loss, so end of season of 8-5. That plus being fairly competitive against the great teams (i.e. no 55-9 type games) and I'm a happy fan. The floor is any bowl game, and the ceiling's whatever we can pull off ... you never know! If...
