[u/fart_dot_com]

Never forget: Purdue secured a fumble using an ass

[u/LiquidLight_ → u/fart_dot_com]

And apparently holding a ball and taking about three steps with it isn't a catch.

[u/SkepsisJD → u/LiquidLight_]

And going down on your knee, sliding out of bounds, and then dropping the ball.

[u/Ltownbanger → u/SkepsisJD]

That was a terrible reversal.

[u/AbsurdOwl → u/LiquidLight_]

This ref crew was ass.

[u/octavian503 → u/fart_dot_com]

Sicko

[u/rburp → u/fart_dot_com]

Henceforth known as the butt fumble

[u/DonKnottsBlastinRope → u/rburp]

Isn't the real butt fumble guy going to jail?

[u/FootballAndPornAcct → u/fart_dot_com]

Anybody got a clip of this

[u/myworld3]

We just won our third ever Big Ten road game!

Maybe we can still be bowl eligible.

[u/MaxsterSV → u/myworld3]

You may even be the 24th ranked team by the end of the season, 7-5 may be just good enough!

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT → u/MaxsterSV]

PLAYOFF TEAM

[u/mewtatesyt → u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

Ole Miss vs Washington to keep national championship hopes alive 🤑🤑🤑

[u/Individual_Spirit283 → u/MaxsterSV]

We're not in the sec

[u/nightowl1135 → u/MaxsterSV]

I know it’s a joke but for those that don’t…

No team since we expanded to 12 game regular seasons has finished 23rd or higher with only 7 wins.

And even then it happened… *checks notes* …once? ‘81 Buckeyes I think given my quick google gemini search?

[u/reppinbucktown → u/nightowl1135]

Hell yeah hang the banner

[u/Itchy-Advantage-4010 → u/myworld3]

Sparty is pretty bad, Penn State is near implosion. But the others are gonna be pretty tough. But Bowl season is a lot more optimistic than in previous weeks.

But still, you play to win the game.

[u/RelevantIAm → u/Itchy-Advantage-4010]

Feels good seeing Nebraska not on this list for once

[u/jrainiersea → u/myworld3]

We’ll probably need to beat Penn State and Michigan State to make a bowl, it’s definitely possible

[u/etsuandpurdue3 → u/myworld3]

🙃🙃🙃

[u/Epicapabilities]

Try to understand the 2026 Big Ten, I dare you

[u/elgenie → u/Epicapabilities]

Minnesota won by 3 at Washingon, then lost by 38 at Purdue.

Based on the scores going into tonight one would expect Purdue to win by at least 41; that turned out to be off by a small matter of 53 points, resulting in a very neat circle of suck.

The explanation is pretty easy, though: the only thing consistent about mediocre teams of young men in their late teens and early twenties is their week to week inconsistency.

[u/No_F_In_Enough → u/elgenie]

Our starting QB, Demond Williams, is absolutely terrible. He was injured in our last game and our backup is now starting and he's head and shoulders better. We would likely have beat Minnesota and USC with our backup.

[u/RhodeIslandisFake → u/No_F_In_Enough]

It’s pretty funny the school could have just let Demond transfer and probably avoided this disaster of a start to the season.

[u/RelevantIAm → u/elgenie]

Tbh the SEC had basically the same thing with LSU, Ole Miss, Florida, and Missouri. Its just they are in the SEC so they all get to be/stay ranked

[u/BWW87 → u/Epicapabilities]

Pac-12 moved to B1G

[u/warox13 → u/BWW87]

Congrats Big Ten you brought our stank over

[u/estDivisionChamps → u/Epicapabilities]

Minnesota: Sucks

Purdue: Sucks

Illinois: Sucks

Iowa: Sucks

Nebraska: Sucks

Northwestern is elite

Wisconsin: Cool and good

[u/VanDiis → u/estDivisionChamps]

No no no, you and UCLA get lumped in here too, and Oregon and USC… it’s a party

[u/JwubalubaDubdub → u/estDivisionChamps]

State sucks so bad that we don’t even get a mention

[u/BoogerSugarSovereign → u/JwubalubaDubdub]

I think that's the Big Ten West listed there that's why MSU isn't listed if I am correct

[u/Tritristu]

In conclusion:

WASHINGTON > PURDUE > MINNESOTA > WASHINGTON

[u/Stoneador → u/Tritristu]

We now finally have Western Michigan > … > Michigan

https://myteamisbetterthanyourteam.com/path;sport=CFB;method=2;winner=Western%20Michigan;loser=Michigan;year=2026

[u/Tritristu → u/Stoneador]

If you gave me a second I could think of a faster way to get to that conclusion…

[u/Stoneador → u/Tritristu]

Western Michigan > Michigan is too quick, you need to jazz up the journey a bit

[u/ilikepizza1275 → u/Stoneador]

Those extra steps might take another second

[u/_Bren10_ → u/Tritristu]

The circle of… Husk?

[u/414wtk → u/Tritristu]

Beautiful

[u/codee66]

That was elite offensive play calling 💪
Every NFL team better have been watching 😤
#HireFisch

Pls

[u/SpecialKMan32 → u/codee66]

Monkey paw curls and he goes to the Seahawks

[u/codee66 → u/SpecialKMan32]

My stupid ass doesn’t care about the only team in Seattle that can actually win anything so I’m ok with that

[u/ShowMeTheVogelbombs → u/codee66]

Hey the Sounders and Storm have each won 2 championships in the last 10 years. Just cuz the Mariners are the Mariners and people only care about the Seahawks when they’re winning doesn’t mean Seattle can’t win.

[u/LiquidLight_]

No one wanted to win this. Absolute coaching malpractice from Kevin Kane. I think Washington punted once. Not to mention absolutely zero capitalization on FIVE Washington turnovers. 

I guess Purdue just wanted to lose more. 

[u/Advanced_Gold1290 → u/LiquidLight_]

Kevin was awful as always, but was the offense that much better? We did essentially nothing with their 5 turnovers and every other drive. Given the situation, 26 is pitiful

This was on the entire team, minus special teams for the most part

[u/LiquidLight_ → u/Advanced_Gold1290]

That was a shambles, but you can at least put a fig leaf on your shame and say "oh, well, Washington's defense". It's not much and it's a thin excuse, but the offense has looked sharp enough in other games to call this a terrible night and try to move on.

[u/smowe → u/LiquidLight_]

I will say that Washington is oddly talented from a roster standpoint for how shitty we are.

[u/imjustanormalghost → u/smowe]

I am not a Fisch fan, but he has recruited well.

[u/elgenie → u/LiquidLight_]

Purdue had five turnovers as well: two picks, three on downs.

[u/414wtk → u/LiquidLight_]

Man another knock on ND SOS

[u/estDivisionChamps → u/414wtk]

ND will have at least one ranked win by tomorrow night and I ain’t talking about BYU

[u/414wtk → u/estDivisionChamps]

Badger Up!!!

[u/GentlyUsedNuggets → u/estDivisionChamps]

That was pretty hot right then

[u/NDinFL → u/estDivisionChamps]

Hell yes Badgerbro!

[u/LiquidLight_ → u/414wtk]

BYU was always likely to be the first real test, so that is what it is.

[u/NDinFL → u/414wtk]

Lol I don’t think any ND fan with a brain was ever counting Purdue as a strong point of the schedule.

[u/avalanche142 → u/LiquidLight_]

I think they punted twice, but you're lucky...our punter has been our best player all year.

[u/Thehomelessguy11]

It’s amazing how much the offense opens up when the threat of a good passer exists. Jedd Fisch called a great game tonight, and putting up 38 points is what an offense is supposed to do against a bad defense, accounting for the 5 turnovers.

I hope Demond gets healthy and is able to be a good backup to Brown going forward, but he should never takes a snap for us again. It’s perfectly clear to everyone that Elijah Brown should be starting going forward.

Need to get the defense figured out though…

[u/Itchy-Advantage-4010 → u/Thehomelessguy11]

You can tell by the chemistry the guys were willing to battle for Brown than they did with Temu Kyler. Schedule is a bit up and down after the bye, but a bowl bid is obtainable.

[u/Philoso4 → u/Thehomelessguy11]

Open field tackling is atrocious.

[u/whydidijointhis → u/Thehomelessguy11]

5 Turnovers is coachable (IMO).

Fisch did really well tonight. Much, much better than I thought he'd do.

[u/Thehomelessguy11 → u/whydidijointhis]

Fisch has been limited by Demond's complete inability to see over the O-line. Completely takes away throws in the middle of the field which severely limits play calling. With no passing threat, the defense can key on the running game and I think that's why we haven't been able to run.

Until tonight. Brown looked great and the threat of a big pass was there all night, which in turn opened up the run game. 200 yards by Bonner and Cooley. Much needed confidence boost for the offense overall.

[u/TheWallsHaveNostrils → u/whydidijointhis]

One was a freak bounce on a punt. Dylan Robinson needs to pay better attention but that situation won't happen often.

Two of Elijah's INTs looked like miscommunication with the route being run. On the second interception it looks like Lawson thought he was supposed to be blocking or running a rub. He certainly made zero attempt to fight for the ball. And on the third interception Naone cut his route short like he was adding a curl to his drag route, and Brown threw it as though he thought the drag route was continuing across the field. Those I hope will be cleared up as he gets more game experience with the offense.

The first interception and the fumble are the turnovers that have me worried. That first interception was just an underthrown ball in a situation where you cannot afford to underthrow it under any circumstance.

And the fumble was Cooley's fourth of the year. It's the first one he's lost but that is becoming a real problem for him any time he touches the ball.

[u/srush32 → u/TheWallsHaveNostrils]

Cooley also got hurt on that play, softy said he went to the locker room for xrays. Don't think we've heard his status

If he's out, that leaves the RB room as Bonner and some walkons

[u/ilovecatss1010 → u/Thehomelessguy11]

Demond is yet another cautionary tale of NIL. after the shit he pulled this summer I’m secretly glad to see him fail.

[u/The-Best-Snail → u/ilovecatss1010]

Not a secret anymore, but I'm with you

[u/Tritristu → u/Thehomelessguy11]

I think Demond can be a good RB for us

[u/Thehomelessguy11 → u/Tritristu]

With Cooley going down tonight, we might need him there...

[u/Clutch_Pineapple49]

Ryan Walters is excellent at giving Purdue Ls

[u/etsuandpurdue3 → u/Clutch_Pineapple49]

I just want to die.

[u/TheBigBoner → u/Clutch_Pineapple49]

The amazing thing is UW's defense looked terrible, Purdue just decided to stop trying to do literally anything except 20 yard deep passes

[u/PNW_Jeff]

We are still alive for the 24 team playoff folks

[u/Itchy-Advantage-4010 → u/PNW_Jeff]

Thanks. I hate it lol

[u/Opening-Citron2733]

With the bye week coming up Purdue might actually fire Kane and give themselves 2 weeks to transition to the new DC. If they don't do it now they'll ride him through the season and then fire him 

Probably cost them 2 (arguably 3) games this year.

[u/makualla → u/Opening-Citron2733]

It’ll be all of them. We’ll be lucky to even get past Maryland

[u/TripleThreatTua → u/Opening-Citron2733]

I wasn’t aware that Odom wasn’t calling defensive plays for y’all but kinda crazy that he wasn’t tbh. That’s like his whole strength as a coach

[u/yimc808]

They gotta fix the turnovers obviously but the offense just looks completely different with Brown in there. Even the simple stuff looked difficult for Demond.

We'd probably be 6-1 if Brown started from the beginning. He should be the guy the rest of the year.

[u/warox13]

Elijah Brown has got to be QB1.

[u/ilikefood2000]

I guess we have a functional offense now. Thank god we have a bye week with how many injuries there are

[u/makualla → u/ilikefood2000]

Take it with a grain of salt, this defense is fucking awful.

[u/octavian503 → u/makualla]

Perhaps, but our offense looked good last week as well when Brown was the QB.

So it isn't just your D.

[u/pyrokapi324]

Teams with Ryan Walters on the coaching staff have averaged 44.4 PPG in 5 games against Big Ten teams that he previously coached at

[u/AstuteCouch87]

We actually won a conference game. I can't believe it.

[u/CptCheese]

Washington exceeded my expectations for tonight. Brown threw a lot of silly picks but he didn't let that rattle him. Might still be some life in the Huskies.

[u/Zloggt → u/CptCheese]

You have to wonder how Demond feels about this game lol

[u/KingWhipsy → u/Zloggt]

Hope he's sweating. Dude doesn't even want to be a Husky. Fuck em

[u/Tritristu → u/CptCheese]

Tbf two of them weren’t really his fault

[u/dex-M397]

Elijah has double the amount of TDs thrown in B10 play compared to Demond (6 to 3).

Not a good look for Demond and his $4 million in NIL

[u/parapooper3 → u/dex-M397]

That’s not even 1 mill per tuddy

[u/AfricanWarPig]

UW: lose to Minnesota 27-24.

Purdue: beat Minnesota 41-13.

Also UW: beat Purdue 38-26.

Further proof that cfb doesn't make any sense this year.

[u/South_Oil_2526 → u/AfricanWarPig]

That’s kinda impressive that you managed to misspell Minnesota in two different ways when the correct spelling is right there.

[u/AfricanWarPig → u/South_Oil_2526]

lmao i consciously noted I butchered them, then immediately forgot to go back and edit them til now...

[u/Calm_Ad5703 → u/AfricanWarPig]

Washington > Purdue > Minnesota > Michigan > Oklahoma > Texas > OSU

[u/ChangKai-Shrek → u/Calm_Ad5703]

Slot in Iowa at the end and you have a full circle.

[u/MisterB78 → u/AfricanWarPig]

🤷‍♂️

Mediocre teams are inconsistent.

[u/ToxicBuddhismFanboy]

Purdue's defense is worse than Ryan Walters.

The refs are dogshit and should feel bad.

This game was an abomination and government checks should be sent to anyone who watched.

Fuck everything.

[u/TheBigBoner → u/ToxicBuddhismFanboy]

Offense fell apart too, particularly the line

[u/Des014te → u/TheBigBoner]

Line was fucking atrocious. Browne didnt have a great game but he had no comfort either

[u/seezuntikits44]

Washington>Purdue>Minnesota>Washington

We’ve got our first B1G circle of suck! We actually can’t open it up any further tomorrow. Lots of unbeaten v unbeaten and winless v winless games

[u/swagmaster003 → u/seezuntikits44]

Washington with Brown > Washington with Demond. The math works out

[u/octavian503 → u/seezuntikits44]

Yes, though of note, Washington has a different QB now. And I hope, our new starter for each game going forward. Even with his 3 INTS he looks better than our prior starter.

[u/Itchy-Advantage-4010 → u/seezuntikits44]

On the path unwinding.

The circle. The circle of suck.

[u/JFGraham24]

So Walters hires Kevin Kane as DC at Purdue knowing after he's inevitably fired the new head coach will for whatever reason bring Kane back and since he's a shitty DC it will be a free win for Washington, where he knew he'd be hired as DC in 3 years. All I can do is tip my hat it was a brilliantly executed plan.

[u/Tritristu → u/JFGraham24]

His plans are measured in centuries

[u/gmr548]

Elijah Brown and Sam Darnold have combined for 7 INTs in the last 7 days.

This team still sucks. The OL is atrocious. Brown is probably not the answer long term. The defense is undisciplined. Two more wins feels like a stretch. Fisch is still the guy that put UW here in the first place.

But sometimes it’s just nice to see a win. And doing so on the road is an actual achievement Happy for the guys.

[u/captcrunch62 → u/gmr548]

Well said. After a brutal past couple weeks of Seattle football, its nice to just have a win.

[u/gmr548 → u/captcrunch62]

Throw in the self immolation Texas performed in the Cotton Bowl and yeah, not a fun football week over here.

[u/Gold-Bottle-2460]

Demond should never take another snap for UW

[u/unfurledseas]

What’s the refund policy on Demond Williams?

[u/Des014te → u/unfurledseas]

What's the refund policy on Kevin Kane?

[u/OnionFuturesDealer]

If you don’t like that you don’t like Purdue football

[u/BWW87]

I appreciate the win.

Could Demond play as a running back?

[u/Itchy-Advantage-4010]

Uuuuuugly.

A much needed win. But it was ugly. Thank god for the bye week because they have a LOT to work on.

Nevertheless, can’t wait to be in Lincoln soon watching two incredible historic teams battle it out. First time at Memorial as a resident.

[u/tensaibaka]

What most of you may not know is that this was just the THIRD win on the road in B1G play under Fisch. He gets one win per year on the road and we just used it up. Congrats Mich St., you are now guaranteed a Win vs UW.

BTW, any article you see that uses the word "good" to describe this game needs to be flagged as AI....It may have been a "W" for UW, but there was nothing very little good about that game.

edit since some people seem to be taking this very literally...

[u/jrainiersea → u/tensaibaka]

This was by a wide margin the best game we’ve played outside of Pacific Time in the last 3 seasons

[u/captcrunch62 → u/tensaibaka]

This is being a bit dramatic. The team has looked lifeless basically the whole season. They just got a pretty convincing win on the road to a team that just blew out a hot Minnesota. This is still more than likely the Huskies last win of the season, but doesn't mean you should feel bad about it. Cherish it. After a rough few weeks of football, I know I am.

[u/Itchy-Advantage-4010 → u/tensaibaka]

Shrek is struggling with Sparty and Washington has had their number the last two times. I think it’ll be a win.

[u/Wooden_Aspect1891 → u/tensaibaka]

That is not true at all, there was plenty of good to take from this game.

[u/srush32 → u/tensaibaka]

One of them was that insane comeback against Maryland where we looked like the worst team in the country in the first half too

[u/Tricky-Anteater-3685 → u/tensaibaka]

nothing good? come on lmao

[u/fourthlinesniper]

Demond can not touch a football for the rest of the year

[u/AKman2002]

>Minnesota handles Washington on the road

>Gets blown out of the water at Purdue

>Purdue proceed to lose by double digits at home vs Washington

The Big 10 is very weird this year

[u/B1GFanOSU → u/AKman2002]

The ex-Pac brought the chaos with them.

[u/Danulas]

Just as I suspected. Kevin Kane benefitted from insider knowledge vs Illinois and Minnesota but was completely atrocious against an unfamiliar team.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

SICKOS! THIS IS NOT THE LAST GAME OF THE NIGHT!

Columbia at Penn was rain delayed by 90 minutes and so it is still on!

Penn leads 27-21 with 7 minutes remaining on ESPNU.

Penn was up 24-7 and has given up most of the lead.

TO THE GAME THREAD! AWAYYYYYY

EDIT: COLUMBIA HAS TAKEN THE LEAD 28-27

[u/Skyrizzzi → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

We’re already there 😎

[u/give_me_two_beers → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

And now Columbia is up!!

[u/300andWhat → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

OMG! THANK YOU FOR THIS

[u/AdventurousFish7684]

It was a long shot but that officially ends the bowl hopes 😕

[u/Gold-Bottle-2460]

Demond might actually be the worst QB in the P4

[u/fazelenin02 → u/Gold-Bottle-2460]

You guys really should've fucked over Miami by letting Demond go in hindsight.

[u/Cameron-Bakke → u/fazelenin02]

I think it was LSU he was gonna go to

[u/fazelenin02 → u/Cameron-Bakke]

Even better lol

[u/InevitableAd2436 → u/fazelenin02]

Ironically we probably finish off USC up 21-10 with Brown

[u/balzun → u/Gold-Bottle-2460]

Are we a joke to you? That's Raiola erasure!

[u/Great_Horned_Rat]

Kevin Kane is an actual fucking clown and should not be allowed near a football stadium ever again. What an absolute fucking joke that display was tonight. We couldn’t have looked worse if we tried. Forget the stripes, we couldn’t have stopped a fucking high school team out there.

[u/udubdavid]

Yo how did we lose the turnover margin by -3 and still win?

[u/OnionFuturesDealer → u/udubdavid]

Purdue

[u/MadokaAndBulletClub → u/udubdavid]

You realize you're playing 2026 Purdue right? We are ass my dude.

[u/kinglallak → u/MadokaAndBulletClub]

And yet, you DOMINATED my Illini start to finish on our homecoming game… so you are more like the intestines and we are ass.

[u/TheWallsHaveNostrils → u/MadokaAndBulletClub]

You just whooped a team that kicked our ass pretty thoroughly.

[u/116wins]

Generational mid off

[u/UtahStateAgnostics]

As /u/RoseRaving predicted, Purdue now holds the CFB Loser's Belt.

Link to spreadsheet

[u/CoochieKiller91]

We’re so back

[u/Bcain24]

The hope is gone and Kevin Kane is still a football terrorist

[u/Playdough27]

So annoying Ryan Walters got a Big Ten win at Purdue after he couldn't do it for 2 years while tanking the program

[u/bbshock21]

Dog shit reffing overshadowed by dog shit defensive coverage overshadowed by dog shit offensive performance overshadowed by dog shit Ryan "this game isn't that special to me" Walters talking trash all game.

Just relegate us to the MAC so we can go 6-6 occasionally 

[u/no_uh2 → u/bbshock21]

Lol

[u/The-Fanciest]

So many WTF moments in this game, honestly a fantastic watch

[u/Noy_Telinu]

Pac 12 after BIG

[u/AndrewArmy]

After Purdue tied the game at 17-17 with 2:35 left in the 2nd quarter, Washington outscored Purdue 21-9 during the rest of the game, including 14-6 in the 4th quarter, to defeat Purdue 38-26 for their first Big 10 win of the season. Washington became the first FBS team to win a game despite commiting 5 or more turneovers. As a result, Jed Fisch improves to 3-8 in Big 10 road games, and 2-6 in road games outside of the Pacific Time Zone.

[u/pinetreesrule]

So is Washington better than Michigan?

[u/thetennisgod → u/pinetreesrule]

And better than Ohio State as we are better than Oklahoma, who is better than Texas who is better than Ohio State!

[u/2Pollaski2Furious]

5 turnovers and still win easily.

We are so back.

[u/Jonjon428]

Browne vs Brown ended in Brown beating Browne, because Browne played like brown.

[u/crwg2017]

Regardless of the turnovers, which can be probably be attributed to lack of actual game reps with the 1’s, Elijah Brown made us look like a competent football team for the first time in WEEKS! If Jedd goes back to Demond after the bye he’s asking to be fired, Demond healthy or not.

[u/No_Bill7679 → u/crwg2017]

Demond doesn’t even want to come back. He’s basically in the transfer portal now. Just informally.

[u/the_descendent]

I thought Washington’s offense looked much better with Eli Brown from Mater Dei at QB. He was a rare 4 year starter at Mater Dei, I watched him live more than a few times & he was one of the most impressive HS QBs I’ve seen. Obv he needs to eliminate the INTs, but I’m happy to see him playing well & leading his team to a win

[u/Admirable_Jicama_476 → u/the_descendent]

After last week I’m just glad to have a regular heartbeat. I love a first time start with a win though. He’s walking on cloud 9 for sure! Just has to get those INTs under control. He’s definitely one to keep an eye on. GO DAWGS 💜 💛☺️

[u/thestaltydog]

Any hope I had last week for this team is now gone

[u/l34ch_r]

Nice win

[u/CrawlerCoolie]

Will we ever live to see a 10-win Purdue season? 🥺

[u/TheWallsHaveNostrils → u/CrawlerCoolie]

I honestly thought that Drew Brees team got to 10 wins.

They had 8.

Purdue just can't have nice things in football it seems.

[u/SLCer]

Purdue is ass...so what's that make Minnesota who lost to Purdue? And what does that make a team who lost to the Gophers? Wait...

[u/Chuck_Phuckzalot → u/SLCer]

Washington>Purdue>Minnesota>Michigan>Oklahoma>Texas>Ohio State

[u/purplenyellowrose909 → u/SLCer]

We earned a transitive win over Purdue one week after earning a transitive win over Texas.

Minnesota keeps winning

[u/Skyrizzzi]

“This comment was intercepted” -u/the_fluffy_robot

[u/warox13 → u/Skyrizzzi]

Lol get his ass

[u/The_Fluffy_Robot → u/Skyrizzzi]

I hated reading this comment

and I knew one of you fuckers were gonna do this too lmao

[u/GhostOfAbydos]

I blame Cleveland weather for having to watch that shitshow of a game

[u/Gold-Bottle-2460]

We now should make a bowl.

[u/makualla]

I don’t think it’s been said quite enough yet, but fire Kevin Kane. He brings nothing to the program except embarrassment

[u/Inside-Drink-1311]

Washington might have their QB. I don’t think they win this game with Demond.

[u/etsuandpurdue3]

Put Barry Odom back on the hot seat

[u/LiquidLight_ → u/etsuandpurdue3]

At the very least he needs to answer for why Kevin Kane has a job with Purdue at this point.

[u/etsuandpurdue3 → u/LiquidLight_]

Like make the call going into bye week.

[u/LiquidLight_ → u/etsuandpurdue3]

I understand giving him a few games. Let him stretch, get a feel for it, etc. But that should always come with the expectation that there are results. 

The only result Kevin Kane is apparently capable of is allowing the other team's punter to have a week off.

[u/PLEASE-USE-PFKEYS → u/etsuandpurdue3]

IMO Odom gets one more year, but only if Kevin Kane gets tarmac'd the next time we watch one of these implosions.

[u/monkeypunch35]

Everyone agrees Kevin Kane is dog shit and needs to go.

Barry Odom hired him and continues to keep him employed. Odom is part of the problem. He has to go as well. We need to rip the bandaid off now and get it over with.

[u/PLEASE-USE-PFKEYS → u/monkeypunch35]

And replace him with who?

I remember when a guy got clowned on a couple weeks ago for saying we should have been interested in James Franklin. Looking back, that guy might have been onto something.

[u/monkeypunch35 → u/PLEASE-USE-PFKEYS]

They 100% should have looked at Franklin. He probably would have loved the opportunity to harass Penn State by still being in the B1G.

[u/EMTDawg → u/monkeypunch35]

Isn't he a hold over from the Ryan Walter era?

[u/monkeypunch35 → u/EMTDawg]

Worse. He was fired while under Walters. Then retired by the coach that replaced Walters.

[u/makualla]

Barry Odoms Buyout is 20.25mil after this season btw

[u/No-Rent4369 → u/makualla]

I think he is making good progress but this was just such an awful game. I think if purdue wins at least 5 games this year he stays. maryland and penn state are his chances. maybe wisconsin.

[u/makualla → u/No-Rent4369]

We haven’t beat Wisconsin since 2003. It’s not happening this year either.

[u/NukeGandhi → u/No-Rent4369]

He’s staying no matter what. Purdue ain’t paying that buyout. That $20 mill would go a long ass way in basketball.

[u/bubble_trousers]

Game, cheeks.

[u/Direct-Attitude1402]

Apologies to anyone who had to watch that

[u/fart_dot_com → u/Direct-Attitude1402]

Thank you

Not that it would have saved this game, but that RTP and then the no-catch calls were football crimes.

And Purdue officially received the loser belt from Washington.

[u/Ya-Boi-69-420]

If we go 3-9, we gotta fire Odom (I really doubt it, but put his seat will be hot as hell) I seriously doubt we'll go 3-9 since our schedule is still favorable despite this embarrassing loss.

How Kevin Kane is still employed, I have no idea he shouldn't even be here.

This team frustrates me so much. How do we consistently shit the bed in so many close games? Every game last year and now this year too, with Odom. The difference between losers and winners is winning these close games, which Barry Odom cannot do. Sure, we have 2 more B1G wins, but is that really saying much when we beat the worst teams in the B1G? Our goal should be Naty always not settling for 3-6 in B1G play.

I realistically see this team going 6-6 despite this fucked up game against Washington. Penn State and Maryland look fucking atrocious, and I'm not buying how "good" Wisconsin is. We really fumbled our season away with the Wake and UCLA game and we almost cooked our season with this game.

In all fire Kevin Kane yesterday and DOUBLE FUCK this team.

[u/chawsley]

What is this “optimism” I feel

[u/ZusunicStudio]

FIRE KEVIN KANE AGAIN

[u/mostdope28]

The circle or suck is crazy in the B1G

[u/Few-Race-8527]

Worst reffed game I’ve ever seen in person

[u/Advanced_Gold1290]

There better not be any shred of positivity when this team goes 3-9. They are still among the worst power conference teams in the country.

Odom isn't the guy, and everyone is going to see it when they still haven't made a bowl in about 3 years

[u/STL-Zou → u/Advanced_Gold1290]

Tbh the fact that this game wasn’t immediately penned in as a W for Washington tells me Odom has done ok so far

[u/mojo-jojo-was-framed → u/Advanced_Gold1290]

Damn, this seems a bit much. 2 conference wins is a step. It’s not Odom’s fault they scheduled two tough non-conference games. If they schedule 3 non-conference games cupcakes like many schools they’re 5-2 right now

[u/YourSchoolCounselor → u/Advanced_Gold1290]

We still get to play Maryland. Make it 4-8.
