This why I cry at night being a fan of Purdue football, at least we're not Georgia State. xD

Youre much worse than GSU. We have existed 5 years and been FBS 2. Purdue has played 123 years and has played in one Rose Bowl. C'mon Son.

Actually we've been to two Rose Bowls, and won 1 in 1967 when Bob Griese was the QB. Have you seen our recent records? The only decent season we've had recently was the 7-6 season, and the actual last good QB we had was Kyle Orton. Sorry I wasn't trying to offend Georgia State in any way, as I can see you guy's have had so much bad luck as a program. Sometimes I have to make self-humor as a fan of Purdue football, otherwise I'd be depressed all the time. Anyway, let's get back on topic as to which schools make the most of their recruits.

Just ask him who GSU's Drew Breeze is. Hell, who is their Kyle Orton for that matter?

GSU has nothing on Purdue. You don't have to act nice about it around here. They wont act nice about it no matter how nice you try to be. They are lesser beings. Harsh but true.

The reason you have to root for multiple schools is because one of them (Purdue, Iowa) is a B1G doormat. And in 5 seasons we have placed 5 players on NFL rosters. Not bad for not having existed 6 years ago. You bring GSU into the conversation? Fine. Expect punches to be thrown.

Now I am a Purdue fan? Your talent for creating fiction is not as strong as you seem to think it is.

All that blah blah you are saying means nothing with folks that actually realize sports isn't that big of a deal. It is the money that is the big deal.

By all means though, keep waving those pom poms around. We prefer it when people like you are predictable.

Actually, it started off simply as a realignment forum. Unfortunately it became overrun with simple minded folk, such as yourself, and thus has become an overall sports forum.

That doesn't mean that those of us who came here for a very limited topic of conversation don't have a reason to be here other than simple pom pom waving. It is ok how that is all you are, but that doesn't mean we all have to be so simple. Thank you though for providing me this entertainment.

This is an asinine statement. Why attack someone just because they root for a certain team? I'd rather he be for Iowa than a team that is always in the top ten, or always brings in top ten recruiting classes.

Good point. I wasn't thinking about how they dropped off during the years after Snyder's brief retirement. It really is impressive how much Snyder and his staff get out of their players.

Pretty good actually.

Bill Snyder shows how the whole recruiting ranking system awards you for warehousing talent instead of getting the players you actually need at any given point.

He also does a good job at matching his recruiting to some good underdog tactics X's and O's wise.

Oh I agree.

In my opinion Bill Snyder is one of the best coaches to ever coach the game, if not outright the best.

It's like Steve Spurrier said, anybody can win at certain places. Snyder has won and been very successful at what is one of the all time worst programs out there with no built in advantages.

Another thing, you really won't find a coach who can put together a game plan and execute like he can. He is an excellent coach from just about every angle.

If he had ever been able to recruit true talent he would have multiple NC rings at this point.

About the only weakness for Snyder is his bowl record. I think that reflects a couple of things - first of all, naturally you're going to be playing better teams in bowls than your overall schedule average. Second, I think that his relentless work ethic and attention to detail tends to be a bigger advantage in the week-to-week grind of the regular season. When a bowl opponent has several weeks rather than 6 days to prepare for KSU, that takes away some of his edge, and puts back some of the edge for programs who can attract the best athletes. If there were more "home-grown" prospects in Kansas available, his record would probably be even better.
