The game and the tweets were fun this week.
You may have heard that the website formerly known as Twitter has been purchased and is now X, a simply horrendous name in my opinion but then again I am not a billionaire so take my suggestions with a grain of salt. You may also know that we have historically shared our favorite tweets from game day the Monday after a football game in a story known as In Tweets. Well, Twitter is gone and it ain’t comin’ back! As much as I’ll still call it Stadium Dining Court, most of you will still call it Deer Creek, and it’ll always be Burma to J. Peterman that site and app will always be Twitter to me. But for those who eat at Ford, see music at Ruoff Music Center, and visit Myanmar I decided to rename this article. This article is of course a play on words for the excellent Ellie King song Ex’s and Oh’s and the new name of Twitter. I promise it’s a great name. You’ll get used to it.
Join us on a journey here as the tweets start out negative, get worse, and then come back around to the positive. It truly was a wild ride.
Sadly, I have the lowest of expectations for #Purdue v. #Illini today. #BoilerUp @HammerAndRails @BoiledSports

Purdue marching down the field with its run game, then getting fourth-and-inches and deciding to throw is mind boggling.

Big first-down play by Kydran Jenkins to stuff the run for a TFL. Nyland Green credited with PBU on third down on what sure looked to me like DPI. Judgment call goes #Purdue‘s way.
As has been the consistent theme all season, does the offense capitalize?— Nathan Baird (@nwbaird) October 12, 2024
There’s some stuff I can’t be optimistic about … the penalties are unacceptable and a direct reflection of the HC. It is what it is. Not talented enough to be undisciplined. Have to be perfect at all things that don’t take talent to win at Purdue.

Tarrion Grant recovers onside kick. Purdue’s offense, led by Ryan Browne, is going to have a chance to win this game.

Team showed more heart this game than they did in every game combined since Indiana State

They played a great 2nd half. There’s nothing to hang their heads about. Bring that effort the rest of the year.

That ball was loose. Easy to see to see in replay. Who cares what was called on field.
