Bruce Pearl: "We ***** slapped Purdue last year...."

I can't for the life of me figure out why Dakich still has any sort of mic in front of him.

What a tool

The revenge on my mind (and hopefully the players) keeps ramping up.

I’d be willing to bet his son isn’t pleased. I’m betting this game no matter what the spread is!

Rage/complaining media pays well these days … across all aspects of the political spectrum.

I mean they did. The same way ISU did this year. And I’m sure Painter was gracious. I’m not sure why this is a big deal. I doubt the team needs any more motivation.

If you take his comments out of context, I guess his son might not be pleased. But Pearl was just accurately describing what happened last year. Then went on to offer a lot of praise for Painter. Purdue players already remember what happened last year, Braden was talking about looking forward to playing Auburn a week or two ago. They already know they got their a$$es kicked last year. A lot of coaches wouldn't have scheduled that game the year after Edey left.

Any extra motivation is very welcome IMO. Like Neub says, Braden is at his best when he's playing mad.

He didn't say anything wrong, they were playing against grown men. If you read it in the whole it makes more sense.

. I am looking forward to being in the building for this.

I mean he didn't technically say anything wrong and he even stopped himself realizing he's giving "bulletin board" material. Still, Pearl is a blowhard and the way Auburn acted last year....can't wait for Saturday.

Ryan Hammer sat down with the "big 3" and asked them if they have any games circled on the calendar...Braden only said one team: Auburn (and then later added the Michigan game).

If Braden Smith sees this clip, bet the house on Purdue.

Pump this directly into Braden Smith's veins. Angry Smith is the best Smith. ETA: He wasn't wrong though (and, really, he wasn't even being negative). Hopefully, Iowa State was enough of a bitch slap to motivate this team through April.

Been looking forward to Saturday since about midway through the first half in Birmingham last year...surrounded in large part by a bunch of clowns. Only disappointment is that Bruce is not there for the return game.

He ain’t wrong

For the life of me, I can’t understand why these coaches step away, retire, etc. and are still so thirsty for the limelight and attention. if you retire, just fucking do exactly that. I hear more retired coaches on open mics than necessary. Just ease your ass into the next chapter of life guys.

You don't get to that level of success without some version of an ego. Every one of those guys who have won at a high level thinks they are at the top of their profession and always looking for someone to give them their opportunity to offer their 2 cents. It's like retired presidents and CEO's running around going on speech tours. Simply put, if no one was listening they'd go away.

He's right AND I agree on returning the favor. Will be there as I was for us vs Arizona.

Accurate.

I mean.... they bitch slapped us lmao

I think bi*ch slapped is putting it a little softly

Didn't think so many Purdue fans were eager to come in here and lap up the Bruce Pearl slop.
