Michigan Wolverines Star Yaxel Lendenborg handed Purdue some bulletin board material just days before their conference showdown (watch here - viewer discretion advised due to profanity).
“When we see Purdue we gonna spank they f------ a--. We gonna beat they f------ a--. F--- Purdue," Lendenborg said.
Lendenborg, who averages 14.4 points and 7.7 rebounds per game, is drawing criticism for making his remarks public.
Purdue has a chance to do the funniest thing ever….

I’m an IU guy who is now rooting for Purdue because of this.

Good. Lord.
Despite the material to fire up Purdue, it may not matter. Michigan is having a historic season, with just a single loss all year.
With Michigan heading on the road Tuesday to face Purdue, one thing is certain: Lendenborg won't be receiving a warm welcome from the home crowd.
