The interim coach is basically auditioning for a bigger gig, trying to show the Purdue suits that he deserves to be HC... and how better to do that than to upset a Top 10 team in his very first game?

Rob Powers

You don't know what you are going to get now. New interim head coach means all current tendencies go out the window. That makes our scouting tougher. It is still the same talent, but I think it increases the odds of something crazy happening.

No, it is a demoralizing situation for the team.

loosing a coach divides the team...

Dale Paulsen

If Purdue had a better team to start with, i think this would help get them fired up, since the team has limited legacy to fall back on it probably hurts the team moral and makes this challenge even greater. NU can't afford to take them lightly though!

Exactly what Jeremy just said …. duh 😂

No matter how bad it looks, Dannen has to do what's necessary to keep the athletic department in the black financially. That's the bottom line. He can't allow millions in revenue to be lost just to save face.

Live in Nashville and have been waiting for this game for years. TN canceled the first one for the VTech game in Bristol. We need to be playing more elite teams outside the big10. That was what the expanded playoffs were for, more best on best games. Now we look like the typical SEC team, weak.

Kelly Smith

Stadium Reno is a horrible excuse. It is cowardice....

Jeremy Lojack

It's not cowardice. Dannen only recently was given the numbers on when and how much the South Stadium renovation would cost. He made this move to add an 8th home game to keep the athletic dept from losing millions of $$.

It definitely seems very cowardly, very disappointed.

Jeff Barker

Terrible decision

Not all fans live in Big 10 country, and this was the one game on a future schedule that was within driving distance for me. Not to mention the Smoky Mountains would've been a great travel destination for our fans. The "stadium remodel" excuse seems like a cop-out.

Gets Rhule two wins and makes Dannebrog look good.

Bad optics.

Unfortunately, that January slide might be a bit too much to overcome. I hope they prove me wrong.

Jeremy Lojack

With their record, they'll be lucky to sneak into the tourney. NIT seems more likely.

George mcdaniel

It is 50 50 if they will make it or not

Roger Shriver

No great BIG teams this year so they sneak in, get a 9 or 10 seed, and continue their perfect record in the Big Dance :).
