Purdue Fan Back! (In total Peace)

I want the ones with pit stains

 

[Chip]

I don't know if this is funny or sad or both.

I'm going with both.

 

[BabaYaga]

That's an interesting take re: never good again. Purdue is an extremely good school, with a solid fanbase, in an elite conference and some pretty cool gear and colorways that could make them a pretty trendy gear selection. There are a lot of parallels to Syracuse although you don't have the private school and insane tuition costs issues that Syracuse does.

Once rev share came into the picture, the AD department thought that rev share would be the only way to pay players so they such down all collectives.

So Purdue is operating solely out of their rev share pool with additional NIL — cannot compete with that.

Yeah, it’s like he knows it’s coming so he grabs all the apparel he can and doesn’t even wear it or take the tags off.

His severance was clothes, I guess.

 

[TexanMark]

I like the Holiday Bowl Quarter Zip

Almost as bad as Mitch Browning living out of an Econo Lodge in 2008.

 

[Bulldog04]

Is he really selling his SU gear on FB ? that's HILARIOUS

That is like a mental disorder or something. He made hundreds of thousands of dollars and he’s worried about $30 and NOT INCLUDING SHIPPING. I thought I’ve seen it all

If he has to sell a house, has constant early relocations especially if he has kids - it can be a real losing money proposition. Apparel certainly isn’t enough though to come close to evening it out. I had a boss who had just finished the closing of their new home after selling their prior home to move into their new home. Then he was canned after a regime change just 16 months into the new job and last I heard was suing (never heard how it turned out) to try to recoup some of the money they lost by moving from another state and having to sell 2 houses in less than a year. Didn’t work there long enough to get a decent severance.

I just bought something from him. I’ve always dreamed of dressing like a Syracuse Offensive line coach.

 

[WoadBlue]

Same for bad executives and administrators.

They have learned to be con artists, or least super s3elf salesmen. which I think is the same.

For him to get hired at Syracuse after what he did at Purdue…con artist for sure.

Novellis plant manager got canned...two fires will do that to you.

GROB should have at least had the decency to let the guy live in his basement for free, talk about a suicide mission

Ricky brumfield is as well

Yes but I’m talking about a much earlier job closer to Syracuse. Most of the people at Novelis I knew are gone now. Not just the plant manager got canned too.

I always dreamed of dressing like Biff Poggi

Beck’s wife was selling his SU stuff on eBay when he left. Not uncommon.

 

[CuseBlood44]

Gotta get rid of it somehow, they get so much gear it’s crazy. I bought Nick Monroe’s pullover from the 315 thrift shop at SU. I remember Jonathan smith got dragged for dumping his Oregon state beavs (his Alma mater) gear at Goodwill

Purdue a larger school and public which helps in NIL era. Competing with IU in-state not easy though. Honestly, I didn’t think Dale Williams was the worst OL coach we’ve had they were a lot better than under the last 1-2

You certainly did not see how he treated the OL and how he confused them all on the OL then.

About a year after we moved to Michigan, a coach who had worked under both Mac and Coach P left SU, took a job at MSU, and moved into our neighborhood. Our wives became friends, and after a year or so the husband moved on to the NFL. His wife brought over her Syracuse parka for my wife and he sent over a Syracuse coaching staff shirt for me.

Assistant coaches are often gypsies who move from place to place and accumulate a lot of stuff that they don’t want to take with them.

Jaime was a sweetheart

Jaime was a sweetheart

I’ve heard. I don’t fault her for it at all. They have to get a ton of apparel and when they switch jobs what else are they supposed to do with it. I was upset the sizes were a little too big for me. I would have bought some of it.
