Most football coaches believe they don't get an accurate read on their teams until after the third or fourth game of the season. Purdue's 16-3 loss Saturday at Ohio State was its sixth game. Since that game marked the halfway point of the 2008 season -- and it also signaled the end of a rough ...

It appears that I or my colleagues over at Boiled Sports have raised the collective ire of coach Joe Tiller.

The basis of it is the following quote: "I think we could be 4-2," Purdue coach Joe Tiller said Tuesday. "I'm not sure, based on the team that we have right now, that we could be 6-0. I hesitate to say that because some blogger will say, well, he doesn't believe they can win, which indicates IQ to me, or lack thereof.” I ask, why aren’t you sure we could be 6-0. We’re ...
And the hits just keep on coming...

First off, thanks to our pal, Travis over at Off The Tracks for bringing this to our attention. Purdue's head coach continues his hypocritical talk this week in the Lafayette J & C. For years, Creampuff Joe has been telling us how he doesn't read the internet, doesn't pay attention to any of that, and that all people in the blogosphere and on message boards are "Knuckleheads" who "need to get a life."

You know, Coach Tiller considers himself a bit of a savant, when it comes to psychology...he was a psych major, by the way. He understands the inner workings of the ...

Buckeyes Should be Wary of Spartans
waitingfornextyear.com 10/13/2008 — At least in the circles I have, no Buckeyes fans have really been talking about the Michigan State Spartans.
