Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Wow.

Worst case scenario is 6 regular season losses?

WOW.

And have you ever considered that the worst case scenario has MORE injuries than last year?

So if 6 is the worst case, I assume you have them for three or four?
You think we'll have more injuries than last year?

I think saying that the worst case scenario is 6 losses is not understanding what worst case scenario is.

First two Purdue posters say (including BoilerVision) predicts 5 losses...I say 6 and that's unrealistic?

I think the Big Ten is better than it was last year and pick the Boilers to lose two less regular season games...and that's worst case scenario??

What's the internet bet? I take Purdue and 6 or more losses in the regular season, you take 5 or less.

I don't care about internet bets. If I'm wrong and you're right, you can bump this as much as you want.

You think we'll go 4-3 in possible losses (and you added at UW in that group). And you call at UI a probable loss. Can't say I can see where you are coming from there.

A stupid bet about writing a poem about Tom Crean or Matt Painter? What does that do?

I think you're selling Purdue a little short. Thats my opinion, if I'm wrong, so be it. I put it out there. There really isn't anything to bet for other than money or just being right/wrong that matters to me.

For what it's worth 6 losses doesn't seem all that unreasonable to me.

Depending on how the chips fall we could be as good as 3 losses or as bad as 9 or 10. We will just have to wait and see.

Yeah, I wouldn't even want to think of worst case scenario.

All it takes is serious injury to two key frontcourt players, and this team could easily end up NIT. Anyone watching Purdue earlier this decade knows it is entirely possible to lose two players to long-term injury at the same time.

And even that's not worst case.

UI did go 2-1 against Purdue last year. They're preseason ranked #27, and they have a top-15 freshman class (2nd only to IU in the Big Ten). Add in that Weber is a great coach and probably understands Painter better than any other coach in the Big Ten, and it's not really surprising at all... unless you're a homer.

Not to mention that they return 4 of the their top 5 scorers.

Cam can choose to go the Peegs route and make homer comments and expect to go unquestioned. I'll continue to provide a little fun to the board and make harmless bets that try to break the 'can not, can to' threads. Y'all can decide which is the better route.

Yeah, worst case would be a season to make us wish we could have IU's 6-25 from last year. That is why they call it "worst case".

Could we lose there? Absolutely. I'm not sure I'd call it probable.

The only time we played them when we were fully healthy, we completely abused them.

Are you seriously talking the game TWO years ago as your baseline for this season?

Yeah, because that Illinois team is exactly the same as this one.
