UNL, Minnie and Illinois fans are not happy today.
But you should see the Purdue Message boards.  Even after a loss, this is the most excited the fan base has been in 4+ years.  The fan base knows there is something different about this coach and his staff.
I think that is a testament to how low the program had gotten, where Purdue was in a game until the end vs a ranked opponent can generate this much excitement. 
Let the Brohmance begin...

Purdue's in trouble.
Most people believed they were in trouble just walking into the stadium with Louisville. And yet Purdue led the game in the fourth.
Purdue: 1-0 in moral victories!

From the sounds of a lot of posts in this thread, it seems that the QB guru in Ann Arbor needs to start doing some guru or whispering or something.
If a certain qb is marched out all season, there will be many that lose faith that the guru is still a guru at that position. First few years get a pass, year 3 should see some drastic improvement. Last night did not give any hope to that.

Which of tonight's games are you more excited about? 

aTm @ Ucla? 

Or W Virginia @ VA Tech? 

Aggies-Bruins probably has more National appeal due to the names involved, but both teams are ranked in the Appalachian showdown.

/So I'm going with the Shenandoah Shootout.

Caught the replay on the final drive Purdue can hold their heads up.L'ville isn't an easy out and the Boilers gave them a scrum.Didn't see the contest however Boilers going to contiue with 2 QB's?

On the bright side JH stuck with his boys and they road the storm out.After 2 straight Pick 6's then a blocked punt they could have mailed it in.I know I was thinking holy hell.In the end it was a confidence builder IMO

Is Byu this bad? Is it the fact that they are in New Orleans?
They're probably a bowl team.  Not great, not horrible.  I think they'll reach ~7 wins this year.  This next stretch for the Cougs will telling.  I've got Wisconsin marked as a definite L, the rest may be winnable.

he's doing the best he can with what he has.

Think it's pretty apparent that he's a QB guru- just based on what he did with Rudock and just based on the mere fact that he can make Wilton Speight a serviceable QB at times. Speight's dog-shit plays and horribly accuracy and foot-work rear their ugly head from time to time- but he's the best Harbaugh has got right now.

John O'Korn just doesn't have it up-stairs and he literally has zero pocket presence. Brandon Peters is a RS Frosh still a year away from being ready to play- and Dylan McCaffrey is a true frosh beanpole at 6'5, 190- he'd get broken in half right now if he took a big shot to the chin- he needs a redshirt bc physically he just is not ready.

Harbaugh is doing the best with what he has at QB at the moment. Cannot re-iterate just how bare that QB cupboard Hoke/Borges/Nussmeier left that QB cupboard. That takes time to fix when your best talents at that position are freshman. I'd almost sell my soul to the devil for a year of Jake Rudock right now- and he was the definition of mediocre- but he's not going to lose you games like that dipshit Speight will. That's all they need- mediocre, reliable QB play that won't give the ball to the other team and shoot his own team in the foot. Harbaugh should have sold out and went all in to get Stidham to transfer from Baylor. That kid starting at Michigan this year- they are legit playoff contending team.

lot of talk he might be the #1 pick in the 2018 NFL draft. Will be either him or Darnold from USC.

That play killed me bc the 6'6", 230 lb QB pussyfoots around the DB instead of plowing over him for the first down.

Is it true BYU didn't cross the 50 at all vs LSU??

It's kind of our thing in the Superdome, although the last time we were there we were on the receiving end of it most of the night.
