The results are in.
The staff predictions were just released a little bit ago and so now it’s time to see what you, the fans and readers of Hammer and Rails think about this weekend’s game against Oregon State.
But first! Don’t get too hyped up for that question as we check in on everyone’s confidence following the Notre Dame game. It was a drubbing there’s no doubt, but a loss is a loss so did it change your win loss total for this season? Let’s take a look.
An incredible 75% of respondents said that the Notre Dame loss impacted their projected win total for the season and took it lower. That was about what I expected. The manner in which Purdue lost was just too much to ignore for a lot of people, myself included. I would like to speak with the 1% of respondents who said that it raised their predicted win total for this season. First, are you okay? Second, do you smell burnt toast? If so I think you might be having a stroke and should get help immediately.
Next, what do fans predict will happen tomorrow night?
Down to just 24% of respondents thinking that Purdue will be leaving the state of Oregon with a win. It could have been worse. I was expecting maybe 10%.
We will be back with more survey questions next week and I’d love it if these numbers were going in a happy direction.
