I guess nobody has Purdue-Auburn fever on this Friday. Auburn up early 7-0.

Purdue looks sick.  Although it looks as if the officials are giving Auburn the benefit of the doubt.  Couple of pass plays there where Auburn defender undressed the receiver.

Checked the box to see if it was worth going downstairs and finding it on television. It seems Auburn is averaging 66 yards per third-down play. But Purdue's strategy of ensuring Auburn doesn't have that many third downs to try and convert isn't working, either. So, no, back to work.

Another big play by Auburn and the Purdue defense looks like Purpoo.  ?.  Serves their roid raging DC, Nick Holt, right.   I’m still salty about the Speight neck injury.

Nothing like having your head coach interview like 5 times for a lateral move job only to be forced to come back to coach your sorry asses because his sorry ass wasn't being offered enough money to coach the other sorry asses.

That probably really fosters a "bunker mentality" with your players.

Hm. The refs really have no reason not to call things like that incredibly obvious block in the back that pushed the Purdue CB way out of bounds at the 50 (resulted in a TD). Auburn has speed that Purdue just can't match. Just let them play.

BPONE is not something that can be put to rest by fans.  It is a real condition that has been fostered from like 15 years of worst possible scenarios.  How does a 2 point lead with the ball at midfield on 4th and 2 and no timeouts for the other team end up being a loss?  The same way #4 in the nation-control-your-own-destiny-#1-defense-in-the-country-revenge-tour becomes a December 29th tilt against a middling SEC team with 4 of your starters sitting out.

It's BPONE man.  It will die when it decides it no longer wants to live.  Until then we are stuck with it.

Looks like the Purdue defense all want to sit out the bowl game. Embarrassing the The Big10. Five possessions 5 Td’s for Auburn in the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl

I heard the Purdue first team sat out the bowl, to finally install some AC in the visitors locker room. There was a picture of them at Home Depot on Twitter.

I don't think I have ever seen a team score 42 points that fast. . .

So far, Purdue is giving one of the worst performances in bowl history.  This makes Houston-Army look competitive.
