    Satterfield played well in the second half of the year, but no extension was offered so he jumped at the chance to go to Cincinnati after Wisconsin got the ball rolling by firing Chryst in mid season. In effect Louisville chased his away to bring Brohm home.

    Getting Brohm in 2017 was the best thing to happen to Purdue football in a long time. Losing Brohm in 2022 was the next best thing to happen to Purdue football in a long time.

    From 1961 through 1969 Purdue only had three starting QB’s. Ron DiGravio from 1961-63, Bob Griese from 1964-66, and Mike Phipps 1967-69. Two of the three were runnersup for the Heisman Trophy. It was a great period of Purdue football.

    Purdue will have a young and aggressive staff, but while they will be young chronologically they will have considerable experience. Not only did Card transfer in ( he will be the highest ranked QB recruit since Kyle Orton) but they retained redshirt freshman Brady Allen who is a lanky 4 star...

    Purdue will get bounced early.

    Ever since the days of leather helmets and jump balls to start every quarter people have thirsted for information. Once the best known vehicle for collecting information and sharing it with others was The Hot Stove League in baseball. People flood the air waves for Sports talk shows, spend lots...

    Somebody on another board just pointed out to me that John Wall and Eric Bledsoe both started as freshmen at UK. That team did not make the FF. Purdue has already surpassed that team in weeks ranked # 1.

    Purdue will get bounced early.

    He is only in his third year and the fact he had an All Big Ten player ahead of him was a major factor. People constantly ignore, or do not know, he is a very good athlete who played competitive ice hockey and baseball before taking up basketball five years ago.

    Get in shape? In case you do not know it, he played competitive hockey from childhood until he was 15 or 16 it is perhaps the most depending team sport there is. Speed, agility, strength, hand-eye coordination are off the charts. Zach never developed bad basketball habits which is a big plus...

    Whom might that be? He’s played Dickinson, Timme, both Duke’s 7 footers. Outscored TJD 33-25 despite foul trouble. Played Bacot last year and held him to 2 points and fouled him out in 17 mins.

    Late 1960's Iowa basketball announcers?

    Tait was one of a kind. He and a guy from Madison named Roundy Coughlin were Damon Runyon type characters. I ran the Big Ten Skywriters tour from 1970-73 and got to know them all - Gus Shrader, Maury White, and msny other legendary Big Ten sportswriters. They are almost all gone now. I just hit...
