For the first time this year, Matthew Painter and the Boilers can say “Boiler Up” for real. The whistles are blowing in my hometown, as well as the bells are ringing, in celebration of Sparty being killed on the track. When you are at a railroad, you are supposed to listen and look, or you will face the possibility of going to heaven and a loss of life. Like the green and white experienced last night at one of the best arenas in the Big 10. I feel bad for coach Thomas Izzo, because he is experiencing something that no classy individual should have to deal with. That is a losing season. You know that this website likes to be classy and respectful of any team that the Black and Gold plays, especially when the teams are recognized for having great programs. I am hoping for the best for coach Izzo and a guy named Rocket Watts. Watts should be someone who Kevin Pritchard should smell his rocket fuel, or his home town Detroit Pistons should try to put him in the Pizza Box. He has a three more years to experience the school of one of the best coaches in the country. I feel like Izzo should get the coach of the year, but it’s going to Ann Arbor instead of East Lansing where it belongs each year until kingdom come. The name Rocket sounds so powerful, like he has boosters, and he should be up for a Naismith Award. Purdue is now 9-6 in the Big 10, and 14-8 overall. They next attempt to shuck corn in Nebraska on Saturday on the Boilermaker Sports Network, which can be heard through the flagship of the Boilers, 96.5 WAZY.
