Hammer And Rails: For Purdue Boilermakers Fans

We’ve taken some time away from our podcast the last few weeks due to the holidays and general life. But we’re back and ready to discuss some basketball! Swanigan continues to dominate and Purdue sits at the top of the conference. We also talk a little bit about Jeff Brohm’s hiring at Purdue since the last time we recorded a podcast, it was before the Bucket Game....oops. Learn more about your ad choices.

In perhaps our last podcast for the football season (though we’ll probably have one when Purdue names their new head football coach), we take a quick look at the upcoming Bucket game against Indiana, which we’re not too optimistic about. We also discuss a little bit of the Wisconsin game, but mainly talk about potential football coaches for Purdue. We then shift our attention to Purdue’s closer than expected win against Georgia State and how Purdue might do against Utah State in the Cancun Challenge this week. In addition, we obviously discuss the potential of playing Ronnie Johnson if Purdue were to face Auburn in the 2nd game of this tournament. Learn more about your ad choices.

After an embarrassing Homecoming loss to Iowa, Purdue fired head coach Darrell Hazell. It was an impressive move from athletic director, Mike Bobinski, who looks to possibly change the culture at Purdue and its football program. We also talk about possible candidates to replace Hazell, from Bo Pelini, to PJ Fleck, and more! In addition, we also talked about Purdue basketball's newest recruit, but in a weird move, we shifted the conversation towards basketball...weird. We ran into some technical difficulty during this podcast, and it will probably show as you listen to it. However, we think you'll still enjoy it, so listen in and Boiler Up!

Okay, this wasn't really a "lost" episode. More like we recorded it on Thursday night, had tech issues and other travels, so we're only getting around to uploading it now.

We also talk about a new basketball commit as well as some things we've learned about Purdue Athletics under former athletic director Morgan Burke. Learn more about your ad choices.
