Florida/Georgia is bigger than Georgia/GT or Florida/FSU (conferences also matter there)

I’d agree that WLOCP is bigger to UGA fans than the GT rivalry but whether FSU or UGA is bigger to UF fans is entirely generational.

I grew up w UF killing UGA every year and battling FSU for titles so FSU is WAY more important to me. A generation before us, UGA dominated UF and FSU was still gaining traction as a successful program so they care more about UGA.

Yeah, and Trump was elected president but fascist blah blah

the dude loving sucks whether he actually had unlimited power or not, I don't really enjoy his stupid "lol the world is so beautiful and I'm a cool intellectual" twitter crap and it's pretty outrageous that he can just happily tweet while random joes get banned for saying things that his government actually did

Anyway, as mentioned we already have the unabomber and h.h. holmes so we really don't need this guy in our recruiting class

Gene Keady was always going to leave and he never did until he retired.

The first six years of the Tiller era were filled with jobs that Joe was gonna leave for, yet that's where he retired.

The reality is that no Purdue head football coach has left for another job in at least 50 years. Jeff could be the first, I certainly wouldn't be surprised if he moves on, but I also won't be surprised if he stays.

Purdue is a better job than Louisville. They’re in the Big Ten West, they could be playing for a Big Ten Championship next year.

On the other hand I held out hope all college basketball season that Chris Mack wouldn’t leave Xavier for Louisville and ended up being disappointed so I’m probably wrong about Brohm too.

Trivia: both Jeff Brohm and Chris Mack we’re hired by the same guy, Mike Bobinski. :tinfoil:

Everyone in the Big Ten has really nice facilities now because they need somewhere to hide network money in order to claim to be losing money or barely breaking even on athletics. Like basically every Iowa team down to the loving rowing team has gotten new practice facilities recently, and they're currently remodeling Kinnick for the second time in 10 years

Seriously guys, I'm really not that emotionally invested in this. It just amazes me how little most people know about Purdue in spite of the fact its got 40,000 students, alumni who walked on the moon and even a gay airline pilot who is the son of the Chinese Gordon Ramsey......what has Louisville got to brag about? Huh? Those Duck Dynasty hicks?
