Hummel follows Grant and Moore as the third Boilers to be bestowed such an honor in the last four weeks. I'm excited for the individual accolades but understand without the victories, no such honors will come Purdue's way. I can't wait to see when Bobby Buckets gets the very same award.Addendum:

We are 15 in the Yahoo User Rankings - not that I would exactly use that scale to measure much of anything. It is still nice to see. I think the 9 place jump is a little much, but I won't complain about it.
A win at IU will wake up everyone else out there.
POW!! Bring Robbie home!
Oh, wait, ohhhhh... THAT kind of POW. Gotcha.
Paul, if they beat MSU, they'll be in the national spotlight...the IU game will remind us all of the years in which Waddell, 'Zo, Dove, Jennings, Brantley, Stanback & Co. played Evans, Eggers, Guyton and others...
Hopefully the Boilers will put the Spartans out of contention and handle their business on Tuesday.
I'm okay with a split of the next two Tuesdays, both on ESPN (thankfully, I can watch a couple of meaningful games), but after winning in Madison, I'm feeling greedy about the IU game.
Sure wish it was in Mackey, though.
Actually, I really expect Purdue to beat MSU. There is no reason they can't, since it is at home. I really think MSU is currently over rated. They have had some problems putting teams away and they lost to PSU. It just seems like they have been squeeking by all year. Purdue has already seen them and almost beat them. Besides, if they drop the MSU game, how much will that hurt the team? Not much from a national stand point I'm guessing. And it is just that - guessing. Since the Big 11 is "down" this year, who knows what that would do to us.
IU is an away game, a rivalry game, and this will be the first time Purdue sees them, so it will be tough. I know Painter and his staff will be going over the IU/UI video a lot leading up to that game.
I too think Purdue should handle MSU in a close game. They went toe-to-toe and lost by 3 in East Lansing...witout POW Robbie Hummel.
Any word on Martin getting back in time for IU? I doubt he could go tomorrow (a game I'll be attending if another blizzard doesn't blow through).
where you sitting Ross?
