(for kevkrom) #24 Minnesota vs. Purdue (High Noon, ESPN Classic) Outgoing Purdue head coach Joe Tiller made the comment recently that one of his main reasons for leaving was he just can’t coach kids anymore. I do understand what he’s saying about “kids these days”. You hate to have to look towards either basketball season or next football season, but have the Boilermakers already looked toward the future at this point?

What I really want to know is, what happened to the %#@!ing offense? Against tOSU and PSU, the defense only gave up 16 ppg (actually less, because PSU didn't even get an offensive touchdown), but they only managed a total of 9 points in two games on the other side of the ball.

Honestly, I don't blame the defense for the let-down against NW, considering that the offense stopped playing football this year somewhere during the second half of the Oregon game.

Oh well, as long as we beat Indiana next month... besides, the hoops team looks pretty good this year.

Funny, in the game I watched, both Clark and Royster scored touchdowns for PSU. And if you think Paterno's friendship for Tiller didn't impact the score, you don't know Joe.
