Please tell me I'm not the ONLY Purdue fan on the board??? I know there are a few of those other Indiana school fans here and probably a boat load of Nuts but can't wait for the 2nd season of Coach Brohm!

Purdue has a football team?
Funny story, I was helping a buddy of mine move years ago during the OSU vs Purdue game. My buddy's in laws are Purdue grads and football fans. Purdue was beating OSU in a game they had no business winning. I pretty much gave up hope and they started the ragging more and more. I pretty much had given up on the game as Braxton was out and Kenny Guiton was in at QB. Well we all know what happened, and as the game was ending, my wife peaked her head around the corner and asked my buddies in laws why they were so quiet?
I appreciate you guys keeping Brohm occupied until Louisville needs him back.
Not a Boiler fan, but I follow them as several family members are Purdue grads.
I think, Purdue has the potential to be a better job than Louisville. They play in a fiscally better conference, and play in a far weaker division. Their biggest issue is recruiting grounds, Indiana isn't exactly a hot bed of football, and the good players are being recruited by the blue blood programs.
If Brohm is successful, I think his next step is a blue blood program.

Purdue is in a tough recruiting spot. In order to win you need a really good coach who gives you an advantage over most teams you play. They are going to struggle to bring in top notch local talent, and Indiana is not exactly a hot bed of recruiting. They MUST own the guys that ND and OSU don't go after in Indiana, and even in the surrounding states. They need to get the top tier guys who would go to UC or even IU.
But I think it goes back to the idea that Purdue is not going to be able to line up and beat you playing traditional football. But they can be very competitive with a coach who realizes that and has a better scheme.

Brandon Newman, a 4*(so far), has committed to the Boilers. 6-4 SG from Valpo.

Is it foregone that he is going to UL?
I think the B1G is a tougher conference in general, especially with The U and FSU dreadful. That said, the B1G West is winnable every year for a team like Purdue if they get rolling. They don't have to run the OSU, PSU, UM, and MSU gauntlet each and every season. Wisconsin is the premier divisional opponent and I think Brohm can build just as good of a program if not better that Wiscy.
I don't know, I just don't see the appeal to UL as it stands right now.
