The students don't deserve the East Main. It's that simple. They will make that side look bad when they head out after halftime. Time to step up and show they can stick it out. It was embarrassing against USC and OSU last year with how many left after halftime.

You correctly focused on the students in the last part. The rest of our fan base has been pretty good showing up. There is no excuse, at a university of around 35,000-40,000 undergrads, to not be able to find 8,000 of them to show up and stick it out. As someone else has said, maybe it’s time...

A second straight Big Ten game with a trash roughing the passer call. What is the OSU guy supposed to do?

Incredibly annoying to see how rocking Purdue’s stadium is for a 3-3 team on a Friday night. How can their fans be so engaged and ours so bland?

I have commented about this on here before: I had the misfortune of having Kate Clancy as a professor, and she is a wackadoodle. I just don't understand why she cares so much about bringing up decades-old issues that are over and done with. The value Shad Khan has and will continue to bring to...

Busting out a toss would have been a TD. If you rewatch, they had NO ONE on the edge at all.

He’s termed out.

To be fair, there were a lot of good programs ready to toss money to Taylor. He hasn't panned out. It happens. Tossing millions at unproven 17 year olds is what is really crazy, especially when they may transfer after a year.

Maybe Purdue is no longer awful? They have dominated Minnesota so far.

And Washington was favored!

Tanner Heckel looks unbelievably lost out there. Yikes.

At the end of the day, while they haven’t looked that great, the defense is doing its job against a decent offense. The offense looks pathetic against a terrible defense. That’s the biggest disappointment.

And second half Lunney strikes again. Run play on 3rd and 3?!

I’m okay with rushing 3 if you force the short throw to get a minimal game. Which they did. Until they couldn’t tackle the guy and he got a first down. Pathetic.

Houser needs to calm down. That throw to Clement was unnecessarily high and hard. A decent throw and he gets another 5-10 yards.
