If it is, then Coach Hope is rewarding Ter Bush with the starting role after punishing him for complaining about not being THE starter. Not a very strong message...<br /><br />I suppose I need to be fair to CTB and see what he can do. All I know is, Marve and the offense looked awfully sharp from Section 113.CaryNW87https://www.blogger.com/profile/09211922211535914178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-62558033247920409092012-09-05T03:05:29.262-04:002012-09-05T03:05:29.262-04:00My "theory" on the Terbush suspension is...My "theory" on the Terbush suspension is he voiced his opinion on the QB rotation in front of teammates and coaches. Publicly all three QB's have been diplomatic in their approach, but It's not too difficult to believe that each of them has voiced their frustrations behind the scenes and I think it may have reached a boiling point with Terbush. In turn, it landed him a suspension.

It's much easier to hire a solid softball coach or upgrade a track facility or what have you if football can throw you a few million and not even blink. Purdue isn't ever going to reach those levels (basketball, unfortunately, can't bring in nearly as much cash), but that doesn't excuse Burke's approach that's basically "you are all idiots, bow before my master plan". There are probably more than a few alumni out there who'd be happy to write a five- or six-figure check on occasion if they didn't have to hand it to a pompous jerk.zlionsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02966540737106797756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-73698937826562737742012-09-04T21:05:24.226-04:002012-09-04T21:05:24.226-04:00I haven't seen enough to change a thing about ...I haven't seen enough to change a thing about the way I feel about the program...and every year I want to start with a fresh start and a clean slate...but blocked kicks, kicks out of bounds on kickoff, blocked pats...this team is not any more prepared for success now then it was last year or any other year even with injuries. The fan base is alienated...see attendance records if you disagree. As I see it, Hope addresses the world with the same chip MJB has on his shoulder...and neither guys seem very likable. A problem when a large part of your job is making sure of just that. The goals/ outline plan the AD has for the athletic dept as a whole are not bad ones...but connecting with the fan base and winning football obviously are not priorities.

That being said, to be the starter, he needs to prove to us that he has significantly improved and deserves it. I, along with many other fans on here, are simply skeptical that, even with a lot of hard work, his skill level has surpassed Marve's. I never thought Marve was given a fair chance last year, and his performance yesterday (albeit against an FCS school) outweighed anything I ever saw from Terbush last season. I want our team to have the best chance at winning, so if he does start, I truly hope he is even better than Marve. I'm just not convinced yet that he will be.B-Kizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636900437292759046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-10208289765033385622012-09-04T11:46:58.713-04:002012-09-04T11:46:58.713-04:00There's got to be something else going on, and...There's got to be something else going on, and we are just not privy to the information...<br /><br />The whole situation is just too bizarre for that not to be the case...<br /><br />That, or the coach of a B1G university is an utter and complete buffoon.

Even if it were an advantage to have two or three QBs that are "equivalent", I don't think it really helps them to tell them that no matter what they do, they aren't going to get more than one-half or one-third of the snaps, respectively. <br /><br />It did look like Hope preferred Marve to Henry on Saturday, so maybe now it's just a two-QB rotation ... but I agree about the whole suspension deal. I'm not sure what a captain can do that merits a one-game suspension one week and then the starting role early the next. I would think that either the incident was bad enough that TerBush would have to work his way back into a starting role, or that it would be minor enough that it wouldn't merit a full-game suspension. <br /><br />Right now, I feel like Marve has earned the starting role and should be given the chance to play his way into or out of it. CTB is going to be in a tough position, I'm afraid: barring a great start (which would be wonderful to see, but how long has it been since a Purdue QB lit up Notre Dame's defense? 2009? And not in a win since Orton in 2004.), TerBush is going to get more blame than he deserves, especially if Marve comes in and plays well in the snaps he gets. Think of last year, when CTB's performance was better in the ND game ... and even though you can't simply extrapolate his stats, some people will, and it'll be hard to refute their arguments. <br /><br />Maybe Burke is putting Hope in this position; maybe he's questioning Hope's decision-making and putting him in an awkward position. Even so, I would think Hope would be better off just making decisions he thinks are best - if that's not good enough for Burke, so be it. I don't think either Hope or the QBs are learning anything from Hope's unwillingness to pick one and go with him. zlionsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02966540737106797756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-49194444897482893032012-09-04T09:42:26.977-04:002012-09-04T09:42:26.977-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Purdue Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222408489161513609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-87798634118328142522012-09-04T09:39:26.323-04:002012-09-04T09:39:26.323-04:00Putting my gold colored glasses on, I keep hoping ...Putting my gold colored glasses on, I keep hoping that this means Terbush has made tremendous strides in his throwing ability in the off-season. <br /><br />Taking off those glasses, I see Hope's comment about avoiding negative plays. Navy's whole offense is about avoiding negative plays. That did not work out well against the Irish. Our defense will do more to slow them down, but we're going to need 30 points to beat them.

Seriously. Nord came out and said that had he not gotten injured, Marve had first-round talent. Whether that translates to a first-round work ethic, we will never know. Then again, Terbush practically failed out of an OLS major, so... Anyway, I digress.<br /><br />Even though the defenses between EKU and ND won't even be remotely comparable, if Terbush plays the majority of the game and doesn't go at least 65% with at least 2 TDs and no more than 1 interception, I don't see how the entire fanbase (minus Terbush's family) isn't calling for Danny's head. I won't be, because I like stability, but there needs to be some sort of outside pressure on the coaching staff to come clean on what is really going on. It's too bad the local media is so soft on Hope. If I had a press pass, the first question I ask would be, "Do you HONESTLY think that Caleb Terbush gives you the best chance to win, or does Robert Marve just really tick you off?" <br /><br />Very rarely does such an unpopular decision get swept under the rug and ignored like this, and frankly, I demand answers. Just tell us why. I just want to know why. Give us 3 minutes of interview time and explain to us IN DETAIL what it is about Terbush that makes him a better QB? We can't watch practice, so it's Hope's job to keep us informed about important things such as this. I don't want to fight him on this issue; I want him to convince me that he is making the right decision. I want stand behind him, but I can't until he makes me believe in him. As of right now, he's failing.<br /><br />Also, in concurrence with BoilerBloodline, why would you give any hint as to who is starting against ND? Forcing them to watch two sets of film can only help our cause. Ugh.

The great coaches make the difficult decisions and move forward. It seems to me that Danny Hope makes NONE. These ridiculous coaching decisions feel so personal after 38 years of being a Boilermaker. I feel as if every B10 coach is secretly snickering at the circus Hope and his minions have created. I mean, if the QB is chosen on "how the week of practice goes"...then how in the hell can he name Terdbush the starter on Monday? And...if you have 3 QB's that you will use, WHY would you announce who is starting at all? Let alone 5 days before kickoff, so Notre Dame can now game plan?
