The No.2 Purdue Boilermakers (29-6) can’t seem to catch a break when it comes to the NCAA Tournament. Every year they run up in the joint half cocked and you already know before the party starts that they’re goin’ to wet the bed early and be back at the crib before the weekend’s out. However, this year was goin’ to be different. They were blastin’ boyz all season long, sat in the cat bird’s seat most of the year at No.3 when they ran out on a 19 game winnin’ streak etc.
Then they seemed to hit a wall losin’ three straight before peelin’ off five straight before losin’ to Michigan in the Big Ten Tournament a couple of weeks ago.
Surely, with the season they’ve had everybody in Black and Gold thought these boyz were poised to make a deep run into NCAA Tournament no questions asked. Then they show up Friday against ole dull Cal State Fullerton, beat the breaks off of them and lose Isaac Haas to a broken elbow. Ain’t that a blip?
They lose their 7-footer and rim protecter foolin’ around with some duns that I could have played center against. I know Matt Painter is hot under the collar about that foolishness. Yeah, everybody’s sayin’ all of the right thing in front of the cameras but you already know losin’ Haas is goin’ to be a serious problem.
Nobody’s trippin’ on 7’3″ Matt Haarms because he’s nowhere near the player Haas is. Sure, he’s 7-feet plus but he’s not Isaac Haas.
Of course, they still have shooters and the guts of Carsen Edwards on the floor but losin’ Haas is goin’ to hurt playboy. Now they’ve got to show up and play a hungry 10th seeded Butler squad on Saturday. Please don’t discount the Bulldogs because they play the underdog role better than anybody.
I literally can see Purdue trippin’ over their shoe strings on Saturday and goin’ to the crib early AGAIN!!! Stop me when I start lyin’!

1) Dun: noun – the person in question, dude, guy, etc. It’s whoever I’m talkin’ about and its non-gender specific.
2) Ole boy: noun – the person that I’m currently talkin’ about.
The G is excluded from the endings of all words because the G is near and dear to my heart because I’m from “The G” which is Gary, Indiana. So I only use the G when I’m talkin’ about “The G!”
