Purdue Trash Talk Follow-Up
A bit of a cheap post, but it's Sunday afternoon, and this makes me happy:
Purdue WR Gregory Phillips before the game: "It's going to be a surprise when people see us beat Michigan ... nobody can stop us right now except ourselves."
Purdue WR Gregory Phillips during the game: 0 catches for 0 yards, 0 rushes for 0 yards, 0 touchdowns.
Khaleke Hudson had it right - talk is cheap.

SURPRISE Greg!!!
You lose
September 24th, 2017 at 5:36 PM ^
....but I am sure they out hit us!

man. Coach "smashing" a chair in his pregame speech got me pretty motivated too. Not surprising they all came out like Hacksaw Jim Dugan.

Fat, drunk and stupid is bad too.
+1 for the Animal House allusion.

Why does everyone on this thread get all butthurt every time someone says something less than amazing about UM?
These guys are kids. They're going to talk. Stop getting your panties in a bunch over it.

was describing the newbie here at mgoblog. Kid has a lot to learn.
September 24th, 2017 at 5:33 PM ^
Now that's funny. Don't care who you are.

He must be new to sports period, because players and fans really love to win a game after some opposing team trash talk. The Michigan players have stated that they've used the trash talk as motivation each time it happened this season.
So let the trash or overconfident talk keep coming from our opposition.

Butthurt? I think most people enjoyed it. It's not often the buildup to Michigan-Purdue gets spicy. We just didn't want him to back it up.

It's not the kids- it's the coaches.
Bo, Carr and Jim will have you doing suicide drills for trash talk.
Shows lack of leadership.
The only Michigan player that ever got away with it was Hart.
September 24th, 2017 at 5:44 PM ^
Hart did it after we won. Ditto Woodson.
September 24th, 2017 at 10:44 PM ^
Not quite. After the 0-2 start in 2007, Mike Hart guaranteed a win over Notre Dame. Voila, 38-0 UM victory.
September 24th, 2017 at 6:10 PM ^
Guaranteeing victory over the Bucks.

WR (and co-captain I believe) said that they wanted to beat OSU so bad that John Cooper would get fired in 1994 - my Senior year. Didn't work out so well.
In retrospect maybe it was reverse psychology given they kept Cooper around another 6 years during which UM went 5-1.

Yea, Purdue really does have a lack of on the field leadership. 3 of their "best" players on defense either got ejected or flagged for really stupid actions. That late hit 10 yards out of bounds made me mad, especially when the camera pans to the guy and he has a big smile on his face.

They should just know that there could be consequences. Saying you're confident and you expect to win games is fine. Saying you're going to beat a team with one of the best defenses in the country as on offensive player is going to piss off the other team. I don't care if he stayed at a Holiday Inn Express!
GO BLUE!!

You got some splainin' to do!
He didn't do too much to make it happen according to those statistics.

passing during his postgame remarks to the press, suggesting his team probably should have avoided talking about Michigan before the game. Just a simple life lesson.
A team is always a reflection of its coach. And quite obviously the Purdue staff was working the officials to get every call, and I heard nothing from Brohm afterwards about the targeting calls that beset his team. I mean there were repeated headhunting hits in that game by Purdue players throughout the game, and the second hit on Speight after he was down and put him out of the game was clearly a personal foul.

Went for a Sunday drive with my son today. Driving down Vinton Ave in between 7 Mile and 10 Mile I see something ahead so I slow down. As we got closer I realized it was a smashed chair in the middle of the road. I started laughing out loud. So glad Fox played that pep talk, a lot.
