Goodnight, sweet prince of the pine in Madison.
It is not often that we give a salute to an appointment here. While we all appreciate the work Tom Crean is doing in Bloomington, the announcement that Bo Ryan is retiring effective immediately took us by surprise last night. He is also worth a salute.
Bo Ryan is an old school coach. His sideline tantrums have become fuel for internet memes, but at the same time you always respected him. I think as Purdue fans we have a soft spot for him because he reminds us so much of Gene Keady.
