Purdue safety Taylor Richards suspended two games
Purdue's safety position will undergo some re-shuffling the first two games of the 2014 season.
Senior Taylor Richards will serve a two-game suspension following his alcohol-related arrest in December, coach Darrell Hazell said during an interview Thursday.
Also, safety Landon Feichter is expected to miss the first half of the Aug. 30 season opener against Western Michigan...
Darrell Hazell inspires confidence
Today was the Big Ten media day for the Purdue Boilermakers and Minnesota Golden Gophers. The Gophers are on the upswing and Jerry Kill was enthusiastic but managed to temper expectations a bit. A lot of work to do, etc. Purdue is terrible and everyone knows it. Let’s go ahead and watch Darrell Hazell grasp at straws!
Hazell happy with the team's character and work ethic. For...
Big Ten Previews, Pt. 1: Purdue Boilermakers
I get the feeling that as long as head coach Darrell Hazel is posting 1-11 records, this preview will begin pretty much the same way every year . . . questioning the wisdom behind firing previous head coach Danny Hope. In Hope’s four seasons as engineer, the Boilermakers went 5-7 (2009), 4-8 (2010), 7-6 (2011), [&hellip

Purdue Alumni Game Set for Aug 2
The second Purdue alumni basketball game will be held on Saturday, August 2 at noon in Mackey Arena. I guess that’s when the A/C will be installed (*rim shot*). Tickets will be just $10 in the lower section, $5 upper general admission and I believe students can get a ticket apiece for free.
Travis and @BoilerBall have the deets on who will be showing up (and there is a nice variety...
Big Ten Breakdown: Purdue Boilermakers Full Preview
Purdue head coach Darrell Hazell's first year in West Lafayette yielded decidedly unimpressive results. The Boilers went 1-11 overall, were winless in conference, and ranked 121st in terms of both national scoring offense and scoring offense. The defense was only minimally better, ranking 113th in scoring defense and 116th in total defense.It is evident that Hazell is taking...
The Fallout: Jameis Winston, Sammie Coates, Purdue, and more.
Welcome to the Fallout - Sunday edition.A Sort of Homecoming.Hueytown, Al., hometown of Florida State starting quarterback Jameis Winston, honored the 2013 Heisman Trophy winner on Saturday by declaring it "Jameis Winston Day." Delor Baumann, the mayor of Hueytown, admitted to ESPN that there was some criticism for the celebration due to Winston's brushes with the law...
Isaac Haas Shops at Big & Tall Stores
The attached photo caused some ripples on the tweetermachine over the weekend, as Purdue fans noted that yes, AJ Hammons is indeed in this photo and no, AJ isn’t sitting on a stool or something. Isaac Haas is just that massive.
While I would like to caution everybody to remember that Haas is going to be a freshman and we all know how polished incoming freshman usually are, particularly...
Know the Badgers foe: Purdue
This is the ninth in a 12-week Friday series looking at the Wisconsin football team's 2014 opponents.
There's really no other way to put it: Purdue's football program was all kinds of awful in coach Darrell Hazell's first season in charge last year. The Boilermakers finished 1-11, including 0-8 in Big Ten play. They lost by an average of more than three touchdowns...
Purdue Elects To Drop Football; Ross-Ade To Be Torn Down Immediately
In a move many Purdue fans find themselves apathetic about, the university has elected to drop football as a varsity sport effective immediately. The move caught many by surprise.
“It’s a tough blow,” said sophomore QB Danny Etling. “It seems especially contradictory to the ‘One Brick Higher’ mantra around here.”
Coach Hazell was more philosophical.
“Any time you...
Football players with true speed on Track & Field
There are true speedsters on the football field who also demonstrate their incredible ability on the track. This week, the nation’s fastest and most talented put it all on the line at the 2014 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field championships in Eugene, Oregon (June 11th – 14th).
One such athlete is Raheem Mostert, RB/WR for the Purdue Boilermakers. Earlier this Track & Field...
Purdue Turning The “P” On Its Football Helmet Into A Mosaic Of Fan Photos
The Purdue Boilermakers have apparently come up with a very interesting new way to get more fan interaction. Wednesday afternoon, the school unveiled a new campaign to get supporters to sign up for a “VIP card” before the season begins. How? By promising them that a photo of them will be featured on the team’s football helmets in 2014.
No, really.
Acccording to the photo below...
Ryan Cline Picks Purdue
Well, we all know how our beloved leaders here at BoiledSports feel about recruiting, but in an act of defiance in my second post ever, I’m going to talk a little about Purdue’s latest commit, 2015 guard Ryan Cline from Carmel, IN. If the BS HR department wants to come after me for this blatant insubordination, I say, come at me bro. We all remember Sideboob Friday.
Ryan Cline...
No. 108 Purdue Boilermakers season preview
It was a year of sorrow in West Lafayette as the Boilermakers failed to win a single Big Ten Conference game. The lone victory of the season came against Indiana State and first year head coach Darrell Hazell was surely thinking about the glory days of 2012 when he led Kent State to the a MAC Championship appearance and a trip to the GoDaddy.com Bowl. The Purdue offense failed...
Exclusive Interview: Dalyn Dawkins, RB, Colorado State
Dalyn Dawkins played with the Purdue Boilermakers last season, but decided to transfer to Colorado State. He will not be eligible to play until the 2015 season due to NCAA rules, but is expected to make a huge impact on the ground game immediately. Dawkins played in eight games with Purdue last season, gaining 115 yards on 32 carries. He has agreed to do an exclusive interview with...

According to the Indianapolis Star, Purdue transfer Ronnie Johnson decided to become a Cougar on Thursday while on a visit to Houston.
"(Coach) Sampson is ready to get it rolling again at Houston with the rest of the coaching staff," Johnson told the Star.
Johnson, a point guard, averaged 10.8 points and 3...
Badger Opposition Research: 2014 Purdue post-spring edition
Last we looked over an opponent in our post-spring research it was the first time we’ve laid eyes on the Terps of Maryland in a serious way. Today is much different, as we take a trip to the wonderfully horrible world of West Lafayette, Ind.
That’s right, the 1-11 and 0 for the Big Ten Purdue Boilermakers are up next. At least there is nowhere else to go but up in head coach...

Purdue center A.J. Hammons will return for junior season
The 2013-14 season was a disappointing one for Purdue, with Matt Painter’s Boilermakers finishing 15-17 overall and 5-13 in Big Ten play. Among the players expected to lead the way next season for a group that hopes to turn things around is center A.J. Hammons, who on Wednesday announced that he’ll be returning to West Lafayette for his junior season.
As a sophomore Hammons...
Purdue C A.J. Hammons makes correct decision about NBA draft
Yes, as frustrating and inconsistent as A.J. Hammons has been, he’ll probably be drafted. Likely even in the first round in ’15. This year…no chance. Sports Illustrated claims that 17% of the population which is 7 feet or taller play in the NBA. H/T to my Twitter follow/er @coloradojimw
So he made the correct decision to stay in school yesterday. As you watch teams play the...

’13-’14 YEAR IN REVIEW: AJ Hammons
2013-2014 season recap
11:59pm, April 27, 2014.
That’s what AJ Hammons’ 2013-2014 season has boiled down to. A deadline in late April, where he has to decide whether to pursue his (very lucrative) dream of professional basketball at its highest level or return to a place he seemingly enjoys to hone his craft for one more year. Contrary to what some Twitter trolls would have us...
What Trevor Thompson’s Commit means…(basketball gumbo)
Late last weekend, the news of Trevor Thompson’s commitment to Thad Matta broke…and in its wake there was gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands. Thompson’s decision has some implications, some might not be obvious on the surface.
Some Purdue fans on the KHC board are convinced that Trevor Thompson not committing to Purdue is an indicator of a bad state of things in West...
2014 Black Gold Game Wrap
I’ve been going to Purdue’s Spring game for a long time…but I don’t think I can remember one in which there was so little offense on display.
If a defensive end wasn’t in the backfield harassing a QB, a WR was dropping a pass. Etling and Appleby started for the gold and black teams, respectively…but neither really showed any separation from the other. But, the running...
Mostert ready to run with the starting job
Purdue running back Raheem Mostert hopes to be the Boilermakers' starter. One of the fastest players in college football is feeling more confident than ever before.
That one time Purdue fans got catfished about AJ Hammons and the NBA Draft
Sit down, young lads and lasses. Let Uncle Aneesh tell you a tale about how a fake Twitter account can crap out rumors like nobody’s business.
Enter: Jeremy Smith, aka Jeremy SmithNBAHoops, aka @JSmithNBAHoops. Self-described as an “NBA Hoops Writer/Draft Analyst” from New York City.
First, this:
Purdue’s AJ Hammons will declare for the NBA draft and will forgo his two...
