Petrino out at Louisville

"But really, what are you doing with Absinthe and bitters

You're yanking our proverbials - you don't.That's one hell of a Bohemian Elixir.I imagine you could keep it in the shed for your gas powered equipment as an additive.Not sure I'd even open it up in the house for fear the fumes may waft over to the furnace flame

yah, but the O-line is 60% polish

I'm honestly not sure what Van Lanen, Deiter, Biadasz, Benzschawel and Edwards are ethnic-wise, but they are only 60 percent Wisconsin. Deiter is from Ohio and Edwards is from Illinois. I'm guessing one of the guys is Polish.

Dutch, German, Polish, German, and English would be my guess.

[847badgerfan]

Me too.

just stirring the pot...........

Petrino still has a job?

There's always one.

sorry, I thought it was a very young team similar to Nebraska when they played.  Young guys, but maybe not Brohm's recruits?
WR - jared Sparks soph
OL - Grant Hermanns soph
WRs - Moore frosh & Anthrop soph
DE - Reviere R-frosh
DT - Watts soph
LBs - Jones & Barnes soph

From the below list (including all that you mentioned, plus I added all the 2017 commits that I've seen on the field), you can see what the recruits really look like.
The only high-value recruits were Moore (2018) and maybe Zico (2017). There are a lot of 2017 guys playing, but they're generally low 3* or high 2*. And a number of the ones you identified are listed as sophomore, but they're RS-soph and were 2016 recruits that were 100% Hazell. 

• WR - Sparks / 2016 recruit, so Hazell, 2* at 0.7649 - also a converted QB
• OL - Hermanns / 2016 recruit, so Hazell, low 3* at 0.8065
• WR - Moore  / 2018 recruit, undoubtedly 100% Brohm, 4* and 0.9123 composite
• WR - Anthrop / 2016 recruit, so Hazell, low 3* at 0.8043 (also legacy,  two older Anthrop brothers played FB and BB for Purdue, and he's a local Lafayette kid
• WR - Zico / 2017 recruit, mid 3* and 0.8414
• WR - Wright / 2017 recruit, low 3* at 0.8000
• DE - Reviere / 2017 recruit, low 3* at 0.8107
• DE - Higgins / 2017 recruit, low 3* at 0.8038
• DT - Watts / 2016 recruit, so Hazell, low 3* at 0.8077
• LB - Jones / 2017 recruit, high 2* at 0.7932
• LB - Barnes / 2017 recruit, 2* at 0.7797
• CB - Major / 2017 recruit, 2* at 0.7682

Then you look at the actual class rankings and average ratings. You see that the 2017 class was not good. Yes, some of them were probably more swayed by Brohm than holdovers from Hazell, but it's not like he brought in some stellar class in 2017. The 2018 class was a significant jump, but as stated the only guy who really sees the field is Moore. 

2016: B1G Rank of 14th, national 80, avg 0.8113 rating
2017: B1G Rank of 14th, national 72, avg 0.8188 rating
2018: B1G Rank of 11th, national 51, avg 0.8469 rating
2019: B1G Rank of 5th, national 25th, avg 0.8605 rating

So I agree it's a young team, but not comparable to Nebraska's young teams. Nebraska was 4th in the B1G in 2018, with an 0.8719 average rating [higher than even Purdue's 2019 class], and the Riley class of 2017 was 5th in the B1G, with an average rating of 0.8781. 2015 and 2016 were both above 0.8600 average.

So Nebraska should be fielding a more talented team, top to bottom, than Purdue, despite the fact that Frost has emphasized the younger players.

 Nobody can put away food without becoming roundly sloppy like a Dudek. We have a little of that Mike Onwenu gene.

Is that your last name Dudek?Thought your name on the other board was more of Dude-K,like the name of a character on a popular series that I always seem to ignore or miss

Yup. Last name. One of the few Polish ones that doesn't end in -ski. On the old site, I wanted to stay C.I.M.H., but when we merged with scout, I already had an account with an unoriginal screenname and just went with it.

My last name is badgerfan. For some reason my family never used capital letters, and only used numbers for first names.

[MrNubbz]

I remember Carrismyhomeboy but wasn't sure how you abbreviated it kept thinking C.M.H.B.

Where's that [rolling laughing emoticon] we used to have on the original-original board when you really need it?
