• 0:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back to the Central Indiana Sports Report Boiler Maker fans for this week's Purdue Report.
• 0:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: With Jake Dunn, Jake is here to talk all things, Purdue, particularly football and basketball.
• 0:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that's exactly what we're going to start tonight.
• 0:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Here on Christmas Eve Jake, Merry Christmas.
• 0:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Merry Christmas to you as well.
• 0:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: The center of course to all listeners out there.
• 0:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for listening.
• 0:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Listening after Christmas, we hope you had a great Christmas and Jake Purdue beat Auburn.
• 0:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: We've talked about that and not going to spend a lot of time on what's happened in the past.
• 0:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: They don't have any games this week until Monday against Kent State and we will of course recap that.
• 1:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk a little bit about that when coming up.
• 1:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: But what I want to talk about is Purdue most recent rankings are ranked fifth in the country.
• 1:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that's just about right.
• 1:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: One thing I looked at is fan dual national championship odds, of course, Purdue came into the season number one to win the national championship Jake.
• 1:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're reaction to them right now being seventh, most likely to win the national championship at 13 to one.
• 1:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm probably not going to take that, but I think it's probably a little higher than that.
• 1:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I still think produced one of the favorites.
• 1:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'd say in the top five, some move of a couple spots there from the seven.
• 1:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would think it'd be a little higher in that, just with a being in theapolis being right down the road from West Lafayette.
• 1:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: And we saw an Arizona who's mostly pretty fans there.
• 1:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I can only imagine why it would be in your home state just an hour or so away from campus.
• 2:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: bet three six five now has Purdue is the second most likely big ten champion after Michigan Michigan at two to one Purdue at four to one.
• 2:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: I wonder if they see in the schedule, I'm telling you man Purdue's one in this big ten championship.
• 2:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: I certainly think that they would be the favorite tier to win.
• 2:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know Michigan took really good, but you know, Purdue has has them, they have Michigan State, they have Illinois, you know, all in Mackie.
• 2:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: So,
• 2:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would certainly think it'd be a little higher than in the second place there.
• 2:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: And Michigan is the odds on favorite now to win the national championship before to one.
• 2:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Your thoughts on that?
• 2:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's hard to argue that they're not the favorites.
• 2:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: They've worked tremendous a whole year.
• 2:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think they'll continue to look good and I'm just hoping that Purdue can beat him here once they play a year later in the year.
• 2:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: more than once winning the big 10 championship is a big deal at Purdue.
• 3:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: And this year the schedule just really, really has set up for them.
• 3:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: They don't make a trip to Illinois.
• 3:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: They don't make a trip to Michigan.
• 3:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: They don't make a trip to Michigan State.
• 3:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: The toughest road games it looks like to me.
• 3:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: are IU Maryland, Iowa, Nebraska, all about the same.
• 3:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Those are four games you'd be concerned about going on the road.
• 3:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: UCLA, USC.
• 3:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: So six pretty tough road games, but avoiding all three of those.
• 3:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Unless Michigan is really, really good and going to go through this thing on beaten, it's going to be tough to beat Purdue in the big 10-jambage of isn't it?
• 3:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: I certainly think so.
• 3:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: You mentioned those.
• 3:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's a way games there.
• 3:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: All big tin, you know, a way games are going to be tough.
• 3:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: Maryland hasn't looked particularly good this year.
• 3:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: And what's going to look particularly good this year.
• 3:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: But they've played pretty close.
• 3:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Ohio State is decent still going to be tough.
• 4:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: What's causing hasn't looked very good this year.
• 4:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: Again, still a place that Purdue recently has a heavy lot of success.
• 4:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: And so I'm certainly going to be some some tough games, but I can't produce it to come away and I just
• 4:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: By the way, according to ESPN analytics, Purdue is favored in every single game the rest of the year.
• 4:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: they are favored to go unbeaten in the big tin, according to ESPN analytics.
• 4:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: By the way, the home game with Michigan on February 17th, that one's at 630.
• 4:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Purdue 51% Michigan 49, that's the closest game of all of them.
• 4:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it kind of gives you an idea of where the analytics have Purdue in the schedule.
• 4:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: I kind of thought we might come onto this podcast and do a Purdue basketball wish list, but that's pointless.
• 4:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: national championship, it's about all that's on the wish list, a big ten championship, a big ten tournament championship would be nice, but a national championship is about the only thing on there.
• 5:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think the biggest thing this year about winning the Big Ten Championship is if they don't, it would be concerning.
• 5:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: And less like I said, they go 17 and 1 and Michigan goes 18 and 0, then it probably wouldn't be that concerning heading into the, but if they lose three or four games as Big Ten season, I don't know if that, but that would probably be in there, probably not good enough to contend for national championship for our IU listeners and the
• 5:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't be opposed to see Michigan going a undefeated to take an I use place for the last undefeated team.
• 5:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, hope it doesn't happen, but if it did, I couldn't meet that mad because it would end I use kind of claim to fame there with the last undefeated team.
• 5:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really, really hope that doesn't happen.
• 5:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Dig just a little more basketball than we're going to talk some football news.
• 6:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: We mentioned on Monday, Purdue host can stay in the regular in the non-conference finale.
• 6:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Can stay a very good team, 10 and 2 on the year.
• 6:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Very good chance to be a match championship contender and NCAA tournament team.
• 6:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: But also a game producer went fairly handily.
• 6:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: He has been analytics, gets Purdue a 97.3% chance of winning this game, but pretty good warm up for the big 10.
• 6:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, good warm up.
• 6:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like you mentioned, I can't say it's a pretty good team.
• 6:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Have a, have got some, laid some quality opponents here.
• 6:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: So far this year, they'd be some pretty similar opponents.
• 6:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: lost a close one to Detroit in their first game of the year.
• 6:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: And lost another close one to Portland being some decent teams, like Cleveland State, Eastern Kentucky, UNC Wilmington.
• 7:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, certainly a good team and definitely can contend for the max championship.
• 7:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I'd say that percentage that ESPN, Alex gave is pretty close, which I guess about the first time that ESPN analytics and I have have agreed on that percentage there.
• 7:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: as a connection to Kent State here, former walk on Tommy Loose is currently in a second season as the assistant coach for player development at Kent State.
• 7:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, be nice to have the King of Mackey back in Mackey, so I'd be curious if they do a little something for him, but be cool to see him back there and like said be a nice warm up here before the play was constant on January 3rd.
• 7:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: I will say unlike Auburn, Kent State does have some pretty good depth, and they also have a Hoosier on the team Desmond Briscoe, who's an Indian all star last year from Chris Besatix.
• 8:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, be interesting to see him as part of their depth, and he had 7 points in 14 minutes in Sunday's win over at you, mask, good win for them, he was three for the reef on the field.
• 8:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, good to see Hoosier's out there doing well.
• 8:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right, Jake, what's the latest in the football news?
• 8:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: In particular, coaching news and any transfer portal news.
• 8:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: And honestly, a shocking and an enscratching move.
• 8:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Purdue replaces Mike Sheer with Ryan Walters, offensive coordinator, Kevin Caine.
• 8:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: After Walters was like, go, Caine went to Minnesota to be an unfield coach there.
• 8:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he makes his way back to Purdue.
• 8:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: When Cain was the head of the boymaker's defense, it was arguably the worst defense and squestery.
• 8:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now, granted, the offense was about the worst in squestery too, so the defense was on the field quite a bit, but it was just not a good defense, and obviously it doesn't really make a lot of sense of why this move was made.
• 9:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's the coaching front, that is the late snooze.
• 9:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then a few days ago, safety,
• 9:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Smiley Bradford now says intention to enter the transfer portal once it opened tier on gene or a second.
• 9:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he's a guy that, you know, probably really wanted to keep was probably.
• 9:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, the player in the second dairy with the most promised most potential.
• 9:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: But it.
• 9:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's said the same goes guy for you would like to really keep, but it's got to.
• 9:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I hope that a product can either keep them once they enter the portal or see if they can bring in somebody else here to take them to form some kind of not so not so good news here for for you.
• 9:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: Ah, with both of those thanks now brings the the transfer count up to three for players that you're going to really want to keep.
• 10:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're kind of in depth pieces weren't really that important, but the three I just mentioned there really once that you'd probably like to keep in your belief in barriotum continues to slide a little bit.
• 10:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously coach, I'm trust Kevin Kane and trust that he can do, you know, what barriotum believes needs to be done from an optic standpoint.
• 10:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: uh, in, in program history, um, now I've seen things online that Ryan Walters was the one Colin plays from most of the, you know, that stand for, for when Kevin came was there.
• 10:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: After the first few games, the 2020 three season, Ryan Walters took over calling defensive plays, uh, from Kevin Kane, I think the one at three start, but still, yeah, it's not, uh, another great look.
• 11:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he's got to help the barrio to see something that we don't.
• 11:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Barrio to master really believe in Kevin Kane or this is a strange move because if the defense isn't good, it's going to turn bad really fast.
• 11:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Think, uh, if we have another, the schedule's a little bit easier, but if we have another one or two ones season, I think, uh, think barrio might be looking for another job.
• 11:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously,
• 11:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: uh... it's only fair that that uh... period and gets the same and as we head into christmas tomorrow what's your uh... christmas wish for pretty football just to be relevant that it's uh... that's really all i i asked for pretty pretty low bar uh... just want to win a couple games here next year uh... just show some some real improvement uh... from uh... from this season so
• 12:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: We're going to head here at the 2026 Proofable Schedule.
• 12:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: They have three straight home games.
• 12:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: They open on Saturday, September 5th.
• 12:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Gets the Indiana State Second Wars.
• 12:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: That should be a win.
• 12:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: My wish list here, probably.
• 12:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, top five things are pretty football.
• 12:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: To beat on Saturday, September 12th.
• 12:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: Beets the Wake Forest team and Deacons.
• 12:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's a home and a peer program to Purdue.
• 12:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: One that Purdue.
• 12:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, really needs to win.
• 12:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: If they can't win that one, I don't know if the win many games in the big 10.
• 12:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Again, but that would be certainly a wish of mine.
• 12:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: That would tie us for this year's schedule, the amount of wins and we have a little bit more of a favorable schedule here in the big 10 playing some opponents.
• 12:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like UCLA was constant, you know, some teams that we didn't, you know, weren't necessarily as strong this year in the big 10.
• 13:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's open for some more ones, open to be relevant.
• 13:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, for new is able to achieve those things.
• 13:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think we see a very out of get a little bit of a longer leash there.
• 13:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Merry Christmas everyone.
• 13:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Merry Christmas, Jake.
• 13:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you so much and boy it up.
• 13:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, thank you, boy it up.
