A sluggish start and continued third down defensive woes cost Purdue its 17th straight game against Wisconsin, and a third straight home loss for Ryan Walters. The stress is real, the transition year is real, and we've got to pull ourselves together as fans here a bit. We go through the first 3 years of every Purdue coach since Jim Young in 1977, highlight the other Purdue-peer programs who have hired a young first-time head coach, and try to address every very real concern about this year’s roster that we can.

But not before we declare Homecoming vs Bert's (and formerly Walters') Illinois a MUST WIN. Or do we? Join us LIVE at 9pm, tonight and every fall Monday after the Boilermakers take add a few more stress miles onto our hears.
