Well, I make mistakes, and I have no shame in going over them. I didn’t officially make a prediction for this […]

By CHRIS GOFF ISL Correspondent These are not your younger brother’s Indiana Hoosiers, not with Cody Zeller roaming the middle and defensive stalwarts like Victor Oladipo and Yogi Ferrell clogging driving lanes, and they reestablished supremacy again Wednesday night. Purdue’s Baby Boiler era looks for all the world like a fading memory, a four-year blip […]
By DOUG GRIFFITHS ISL Assistant Editor What’s your favorite Purdue-Indiana game? Perhaps it’s the Hoosiers’ 41-point blowout over the visitors in 1992 or IU’s 1987 double-digit home win over No. 4 Purdue. If you’re a Boilermaker backer, thoughts of the Austin brothers slaying Bob Knights’ IU teams in the 1990s come to mind and so […]

By CLIFF BRUNT ISL Editor A Purdue win over No. 3 Indiana on Wednesday wouldn’t be as big an upset as some might think. I have covered both teams this season, so I have perhaps a unique perspective on their matchup. Indiana is loaded with skill and weapons, but the Hoosiers have some weaknesses the Boilermakers […]
By SAM KLEMET ISL Correspondent Sunday’s basketball game at Mackey Arena probably would have been more appropriately played a half a century ago with peach baskets and high-top Chuck Taylors. But, for what Purdue and Iowa lacked in efficiency, they made up for in excitement. The Boilers beat the Hawkeyes 65-62 in overtime Sunday for their […]
From Purdue Athletics WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue head football coach Darrell Hazell announced that John Shoop has been hired as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Boilermakers.
