I am extremely excited for the next step in my journey…I can’t wait to be a BOILERMAKER! #boilerup

Time to be on the look out in soybeans in Indiana for a new disease to the Midwest, red crown rot (Calonectria ilicicola). See information below on what to look for and how you can help us track it. https://t.co/T2fh2V0NQ4 @INSoybean @PurdueExtension

Dear @case_ih. I have had enough of this pro 1200. It is absolutely junk. The next time you want to design a monitor make it modern and good. The OS is slower than my 85 year old grandmother. Why the hell are you running your own equipment through a Universal terminal?

[Chad Threewits @c3wits]

@ethankoehler14 Agree on every point. The answer is always, “well we’ve never seen that before”. Added a 700 to run the planter to keep from running through ISO.
This is after never being able to get the shutoffs to work correctly with previous red tractor/planter combo.

I normally sit back and laugh at how ignorant opposing fans are about PURDUE but, when it’s national media purposefully trolling Zach Edey and Purdue for clicks with nothing to back it up - well, welcome to my long-winded rant.

Firstly, we know the casual national media just started watching CBB this past weekend. And what two games triggered them the most? Purdue vs. Michigan State and Purdue vs. Wisconsin. And, of course, these casual, non-ball-knowers, can’t understand how one team can shoot more free throws than another team *gasp*!

What amazes me is how so many ppl who claim to know basketball don’t understand that fouling Purdue is strategy. It was literally in MSU and Wisconsin’s (and northwestern’s) gameplan. Foul the shit out of Zach Edey whenever he is close enough to dunk or lay it in. And then bitch and complain about the officiating for the entire game, hoping they don’t call all the fouls.

Let’s unwrap some of what I just stated for these trolls that don’t understand basketball:

Purdue is the third best offense in the country, averaging 1.18 points-per-possession (PPP). Against Michigan State, Purdue shot 15 more free throws while Michigan State attempted 8 more field goals than Purdue. If you average 1.18 PPP, Would you rather shoot 67% from the foul line or be given 8 more offensive possessions to score 2-3 point field goals?

Too small of a sample size? Let’s go to the Wisconsin game then. Purdue shot 23 more free throws than Wisconsin yet Wisconsin attempted 23 more field goals than Purdue. Again, which would you rather have?

Of course these “purposefully ignorant (and) intellectually dishonest”, as @brianneubert put it, clickbait artists can’t look beyond the free throw disparity. And Zach Edey gets all the shit simply because the referees call fouls when he’s fouled.

What pisses me off is the narrative that this is how Purdue plays. It’s not. PURDUE hasn’t lost to a non-big ten Power 5 team since before Covid. Why? Because no other conference plays hack-an-Edey goon-ball. They play
Purdue straight up and get abused. Which takes me back to point 1 - these teams - WI, MSU, NW - do this on purpose due to their personnel and gamplan.

(NW literally went into both Purdue games saying they have 4 bodies and 20 fouls to throw at Edey)

And it’s smart for them to do, clearly. It sometimes works. Limit Purdue’s field goal attempts, dare them to shoot 80%+ from the charity stripe and hope they have careless TO’s. That’s the formula to beating Purdue. So it’s funny when fans of these teams blame Purdue for muddying the game up. That’s the last thing Purdue wants. And these same opposing fans don’t understand basketball enough to actually credit their coaching staff on their gameplan - yes, they are smart for playing Purdue this way!

Secondly, and what pisses me off the most, is all the flack Zach Edey gets for how often he is fouled. Do you think he wants to be fouled 15+ times per game? Do you think Purdue wants that? No and no. But it’s Zach Edey’s fault for the opposing team’s gameplan. Such a pathetic narrative pushed by national click-bait morons like credit-card-thief-Gottlieb and Aaron Torres.

I would wager that 95% of the trolls that attack Edey can’t even dribble left handed, shoot a free throw, or play longer than 5-10 minutes in a CBB game. Zach Edey plays 35 mpg at 7’4.

And 100% of the trolls who call him unathletic can’t throw 80 mph off the mound or clock triple digits on a slap shot.

The hate Zach Edey gets is based purely on two things (unless you’re a TN fan and then it’s racism): ignorance and jealousy. The fact no opposing coach or player would ever say any of this stuff about Edey is all you need to know.

@AaronBobeck Shook my head when saw the same thing today in Wells Co, but at least they stayed on the road.

[Derek Blair @drblair81]

I’m still trying to find a home for a nice Magnum before the end of the year. It’s a nice 2 owner machine coming off a retirement from a gentleman I go to church with. Paint is flaking on one side of the hood is all I see wrong with it.

@drblair81 You renting him out?

[Chad Threewits @c3wits]

@drblair81 @joestephan_corn @agrjosh Can confirm in the sleet…

[Chad Threewits @c3wits]

@Noggle_Farms @Case_IH We tried everything possible (steering valve, settings) on a 215, they say steering valve can’t handle it when running constant hydraulics. Finally had enough and updated tractors to get straight rows.

@KyleSmi65138062 @Bean_Dork Didn’t know you can buy untreated Becks beans to treat them with something else?

[Chad Threewits @c3wits]

@CRBrubaker @jrlikeswhisky Have same one also, Much hotter on left side.

[Chad Threewits @c3wits]

@girl_agronomist Ha, nope. Now if @drblair81 could have lent me a 40 ft’er I would have been much happier.

[Chad Threewits @c3wits]

@girl_agronomist Hope you’re right. First time in 10 years

[Chad Threewits @c3wits]

@TheChadColby Demoed it last fall. Lots of fancy buttons...

[Dave Revsine @BTNDaveRevsine]

Per @BTNStatsGuys - @BoilerBall 36 pt win over Iowa is tied for the third largest margin of victory for an unranked team over a ranked one this century. The 104 points were the most Purdue has scored in a Big Ten home game since 1975.

Hope #pftour19 isn’t relying on @PioneerSeeds yield calculator...(despite the zippered ears) 14 around not 22.

@drblair81 Need to introduce him to my guy in Pigeon Forge with his opossum on a leash.
