1,043 days between Purdue football P4 wins - our watch has ended

might be 3 hours away from a meltdown, can't wait to find out

i say this often but The Other Place sucks so much and i gotta just stay here

btw - i don't care what the strength of schedule numbers say. Purdue doesn't a particularly difficult schedule. the only craziness is ND noncon, but the B10 slate is pretty manageable. expectations for the program have cratered.

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

let's even take actual winning out of this. let's go moral victories. Purdue has been competitive in 7 games (P4) during the 2024, 2025, and a third of the 2026 season. competitive. a decent chance at a win, not even the win itself. that's not investment. that's coaching.

Purdue's problem isn't (only) the trustees. they've always been conservative with football investment, but they've still found ways to win. Barry Odom talks about "playing Purdue football", and i'd really love anyone to ask a follow-up about what he thinks that means.

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

the best case scenario for Barry Odom is Bert at Illinois, and that makes me sad

is it truly this difficult to find people who love doing cool things, and want to make money by doing cool things instead of evil get-rich-quick scams, who hollow out the thing they're leading in favor of a quarterly earnings report?

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

it's noticeable that Purdue's board, president, and search committee were all stunned that people would want the athletic director job of massive Big Ten school

141

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

did Purdue forget to stream the new AD intro on youtube or are they just trying to keep this as small as possible

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Purdue twitter/message board obsession with a particular non-Bobinski member of the athletic department administration will forever be weird and strange and gross

031

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

(it's a very persuasive argument that fundraising at Vandy and Rice, who of the wealthiest southern schools, is *not at all* predictive of fundraising success at a place like Purdue, which has lots of well-off alums but no prominent billionaire sports donors and no culture of donations like that)

110

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Purdue seems ready to hire a new athletic director from within, or from a non-P5 school. it could work, but buddy boy is it a very risky process if we're looking forward to modernization.

020

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

i should start posting here more bc twitter has become a disaster. anyway, Micah Beckwith can gtfo if he thinks one of the best public universities in the country can be his political punching bag to attack our lgbtq and muslim homies. keep Purdue out of it, you absolute loser.

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

@celebrityhottub.bsky.social recently Purdue has had: - cfb superweapon / B10 division title / worst ever single season, - mbb 2x NPOY / #16 loss / nat'l runner-up, - wbb scandals, - emerging VB. all while our biggest rival goes from worst to greatest cfb story. we demand a We're Not All Like This.

i'm gonna need Oregon to win because Indiana kills both of these teams tonight

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 29/11/2025

yeah but those are metric points, convert and it's not as bad

070

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

UNC went with Bill Belichick. UCF went back to Scott Frost. WVU went back to Rich Rod. Purdue was the only P4 program running a sane football coaching search.

180

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

thinking about this new cfb landscape - when would a B10/SEC team ever start a non-5 star underclassman qb, if so many proven older players want to transfer up? the best path for a 3- or 4-star qb recruit who isn't getting much $$$ is to get two solid years of numbers at a G5 and transfer up to P2.

021

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

on paper Odom is a tremendous get for Bobinski and Purdue - coach at multiple stops, Big 2 experience, has a history of identifying great assistant coaches, he's both a hardass and players coach, and he finished this season with his G5 team inside the Top 25.

150

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

i don't understand the apprehension to Tyson Helton from some Purdue fans at all. HC track record, player development, playing style, coaching staff hiring success, innovation with the transfer portal, regional fit, great vibes. perfect fit. seems like some Purdue people just want to complain.

130

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

i still want Helton at Purdue idc idc idc

020

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

(i want Purdue to hire a CEO and hire Tyson Helton and announce both on Saturday)

020

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

"fans" who pushed the off-field Walters rumors should be buried under Ross Ade and never heard from again

150

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

the more i think about it, the more i think it'll be Helton for Purdue, and i've already talked myself into it, and will be buying Homefield WKU gear in tribute for their constant flow of good coaches to West Lafayette.

030

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

the Extremely Online anger at Bobinski is odd - there were things to be annoyed about, like the "trending towards" keeping Walters story, but once the Harrell firing happened and the season continued without Bobinski's comment, it was clear. did people really just want an early firing announcement?

040

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

to me, UNC is leagues better of a job than Purdue. yes, ACC vs B10, but UNC is a brand that will always be wanted and always be in the top half of whatever premium conference it chooses. Campbell has earned the right to be choosy, and a job like UNC fits more than Purdue.

010

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

i think Tyson Helton is the most likely candidate for Purdue - seemingly the 2022 runner-up, has been vetted by the athletic dept, would take the job, wouldn't be as expensive staff + buyout. but with Cignetti's football success at IU, at least try for the big swing in Chadwell.

220

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

Purdue should break the bank for Jamey Chadwell

revenge for Joe Tiller's 62-10 last gave vs IU

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

thinking about Chadwell cs Cignetti in the Bucket Game next year

151

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

hope Walters is gone after this loss. not bc of the record or recruiting or anything football. just bc i still have respect for these Purdue athletic dept decision-makers, and allowing football to fall apart to this point without any comment, and think he can possibly return to any success at all.

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

Myles Colvin has been such a star this year

0130

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

Braden Smith has these moments of brilliance, but also makes overconfidence-driven mistakes. on replay, you can see exactly what he's thinking, but execution is just a bit off. he'll round the corner where his body reacts as fast as his mind works soon, and will take another v fun leap.

030

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

UNC is going to hire Arthur Smith instead of Jamey Chadwell and it's a hilarious mistake that Purdue should immediately take advantage of

020

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 27/11/2024

indians in this country really have to pick a side - solidarity or power/status. and too many of us are empty vessels with no morality whatsoever. it's gross and shameful.

010

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

i'll bet anything UNC passes over Chadwell - their mistake, and Purdue should take advantage

120

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

(everyone is waffling and just guessing about Purdue's decision on Walters - we will find out by Sunday one way or another, but there's a reason everyone is passing the buck on owning the original report)

130

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

Purdue's new 6 year spending window, if Walters is fired and a similar football investment is made: $10m to buy out this staff $4m buyout for Chadwell $40m to Chadwell ~$12m more for assistants + players it's close to $66m over the next 6 years, $11m/year. that's a lot. but also, B10 $$$.

140

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

only 10 college football HCs (last 15 yrs) recovered from a winless conf season: Clark Lea, Vandy Steve Addazio, BC Troy Calhoun, Air Force Mike London, UVA Gene Chizik, Auburn winless 1st szn: Lovie Smith, Illinois Bret Bielema, Arkansas Mark Stoops, Kentucky Sonny Dykes, Cal Kevin Wilson, IU

Aneesh @aneeshswamy.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

ok fine now i can admit i was rooting for IU today against the cfb program i hate the most, but am slightly relieved their dream season hit its ceiling
