    We need to get as good as Wisconsin at not getting called for holding. 

    Was thinking about this but Wisky has the reputation and they get the benefit of the doubt from the refs. Just like an Ace pitcher who always pounds the zone gets the edge calls from the ump in baseball. Or Joey Votto gets the benefit of a borderline pitch being called a ball.

  2. I live in the heart of the Boilermaker belly in West Lafayette. I'm writing this post from my office on campus. I work for and root for Purdue, except when they play Nebraska. You can't turn your back on your life long team.  My neighbors are all lifelong Purdue fans. Some work in the athletic dept. My neighbor next door is a current football assistant coach.  My grad student is an Iowa fan. He likes to take notice of things as well...

     

    I have dealt with the ridicule when Nebraska lost to Daryl Hazell for his only conference win.  I sat through the game last year in utter disbelief and endured hazing at the hands of my neighbors and colleagues for 3 quarters. That 4th quarter delivered me from the constant reminders I was going to have to go through for a year. It caused some tension in the neighborhood. But I was on the right side of that one.  

     

    This time I need it again Coach. Players, we can't be losing to Purdue. For my sake. Please, I beg you. 

     

    Purdue has gained some confidence. They have attitude and a bit of fire. They have some direction now that they aren't playing QB carousel. They have an explosive WR. But Nebraska has an opportunity here. Winning cures all. Get that monkey off your back boys (for me..... please).  Thank you for the forum to vent.

    True.  But, what incentive does this particular player have to lie?  Further, you saw the game...you saw how it played out...the way Nebraska played lends incredible credence to what this particular Michigan player said.

    Neb and Mich will be going up against each other for recruits, including Wandale Robinson. Statements like this could hold weight IMO. Plus, he would say it to feel like an Alpha male making the opponents submit to them because they are superior.
