  • Kansas down big in 2nd, Kentucky already lost
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

What are the poll voters going to do Monday if Purdue takes MSU to the woodshed?

And I'd be a Libertarian, if they weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners." - Berkeley Breathed

God, we have got to be the most cursed team ever.

I think if Hummel played the whole game at Minny, we would have won by 15ish, and then a convincing home win against MSU.

Those two things, coupled with 1 and 2 losing, and you never know what the pollsters would think.
“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves."

Syracuse will probably move to #1 with a win tonight. Purdue will drop to at least #4. If we lose, it could go as low as 6-8.

This sucks. We have never been #1 and those stars are aligned.

Try to put things into perspective Cam. You weren't the Celtics and had your first pick die before he played a game, and your team didn't die during a plane crash. What happened to Robbie is unfortunate, but this stuff happens allllllll the time in sports. It's part of it.

Quit acting like God or whoever you believe in is trying to destroy your life through his hatred of Purdue basketball. Take your advice you just gave to Brum.

Maybe this will help.

How to throw a pity party.

DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU ARE CLINICALLY DEPRESSED OR ARE ON MEDICATION FOR DEPRESSION.
1. Let a close friend know that you are planning a pity party. Invite them over to just be a presence in your home, but not sit with you while you have your party. Alternatively, arrange a time that they'll come round or phone you to help you end the party.
2. Remove any medications or potential weapons from your room.
3. Close the curtains and put on some mournful music.
4. Focus on all the things in your life that make you unhappy.
5. Think of all the little things that bother you.
6. Suspect everybody and think of what ulterior motives they might have.
7. Condemn yourself and others for not being perfect.
8. Get yourself a good worry and focus on it.
9. Compare yourself unfavourably to others.
10. Take everything people have said to you personally.
11. Blame yourself for everything that went wrong.
12. Have a good cry about everything. Make sure you have a box of tissues handy.
13. Get everything out of your system. Make sure you concentrate on everything that's made you unhappy in the past, so that unhappiness appears to be the aim of your life.
14. Now, change your focus and start thinking about what brings you joy, hope and happiness. What makes you laugh out loud? Think about plans you can make to change whatever caused the pity party in the first place. Brainstorm all the pros and cons of all the options that you think would change the situation you are in. Have a pen handy and write them down.
15. Think about good things that have happened to you, however minor.
16. Open the curtains and let in some natural light.
17. Turn off the mournful music and put on some loud, energetic, dance music. Ppreferably one you know the words of and can sing along to.
18. Have a lingering bath or a shower and imagine that you are washing all the unhappiness and misery away.
19. Contact your friend you spoke to at the start of your pity party. Let them know that you're okay and arrange to share a coffee, slab of chocolate or wine or two with them.
20. Steer the conversation to happy topics and keep a smile on your face, however idiotic you might think it looks!

This is the question: are voters voting based on past performance or future predicted peformance, or a combination?

My opinion is that the ranking should reflect past performance. Why would Purdue drop if they don't lose?

I am not asking if they drop. Do they advance?

You could probably chill just a bit.

It wasn't meant for all Purdue posters, just DC. You are all upset, and saying that is understandable would be an understatement Bobo.

I feel sorry for the majority

I know, I was responding to Chops who had them at #4 if they beat MSU.

Since polls are not supposed to be based on speculation, there is no doubt that a Purdue win should give the Boilers a top 2 ranking...depending on the outcome of the Syracuse/Nova game.
