With Purdue's season winding down, the Hammer and Rails staff has decided to come together around one metaphorical round table. The season has oscillated between a pandemic of sky-high expectations after an 11-0 start(FINAL FOUR YAY) before turning to abject horror and pessimism after blowing a 17 point half time lead at home to Iowa followed by a mind-boggling upset at the hands of the Fighting Illini(AT LEAST HAZELL DOESN'T MAKE US THINK WE'LL BE GOOD).
Now, the 18th ranked Boilers are coming off their 4th Big Ten loss against a top 4 Maryland team on the road to move to 19-5 for the season and the closing schedule doesn't get much easier from here with games at Michigan, Indiana, and Nebraska while playing host to Michigan St.
