The sun still comes up in the morning. All true fans of the Boilers know that we enjoy some precious moments and some brutal defeats but another season is ahead. Thanks Boilers for an exciting ride all year and for adding that 25th Big Ten title with integrity and dignity.
For those of you that enjoy Purdue Basketball history, Purdue opened their new Fieldhouse (now known as Lambert Fieldhouse) on Saturday Night Dec 11, 1937 defeating Indiana State 61-18

Shout out to the great Brian Neubert who, amidst so much change in media and quality of reporting, brings the story of Purdue Menโs Basketball to us at a high level. Great work again this season from a devoted Wrap video watcher!!

The program today is far better off than 2016. Jeff Brohm/team/staff have left us many great memories. Mike Bobinski and Admin deserve much credit. Great fun for fans. Timing makes sense. Purdue is a better job for the next coach due to Jeffโs work here. Great days ahead!! ๐๐
Clean program. Coach who cares about the school, the state, the history, and the community, and they win. Whatever happens the next few weeks I will let you all in on a secretโฆTHESE ARE THE GOOD OLD DAYS!!!
@BoilerBall
My years growing up were filled with winter evenings falling asleep listening to one voice as Purdue chased the Final Four each season. No one would have enjoyed this trip more. Think I have the right shirt for the flight to the desert. ๐๐๐
Some nervous Purdue fans this week. Totally get it. As the Boilers go to work tonight and Purdue fans go through the motions today at work ahead of tonightโs tipoff, a good reminder to all in Boilermaker Nation from Joe Maddon: โNever permit the pressure to exceed the pleasure.โ
When you really consider all that they had to come back from as a unit, it is such a lesson in leadership. This is our coach and our team. Much to be proud of that goes beyond 40 minutes in a game. ๐๐
It is a rare privilege in life to get to work with one of your childhood heroes, and enjoy how the relationship changes over the years from one you simply admire, to someone who mentors you and becomes one of your best friends, and in the end, family. Love you Cliz!!
Heartbroken canโt describe how we feel today.
The Purdue Basketball team mourns the loss of longtime radio voice Larry Clisby. He was a part of our team for over 40 years and as big a part of our program as anyone.
We will miss you Cliz.

Today marks 19 years since Purdue was in the Rose Bowl. Without a doubt one of the most amazing settings anywhere in sports. Hope Purdue gets back soon!
Bobblehead Night at Mackey for my all time favorite Purdue player Troy Lewis as Purdue hosts the team down south. ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
First image I thought of today. From Mark Montiethโs book Passion Play on the 1988 team. Itโs April 1st Purdue fans, but it really did happen!! No fooling!!

6-5 is a long way from a perfect home record and sole possession of first place in the Big Ten. Matt and the staff and players have done a superb job! More to come!!! Boiler Up!!
Among the great joys of my life is my friendship with Larry Clisby. Today is his 72nd Birthday! He made it! And is still calling games for the Boilers and thriving more everyday! Our family sends all our love to our pal โThe Clizโ
Tonight hurts obviously. It hurts most for the players and coaches who work so hard, and for their families. These Boilermakers took us on a heck of a ride year. Purdueโs well established program will be just fine. Ever Grateful for our Boilers.
Cliz used to quote Napoleon Hill and say โEvery adversity, every failure, every heartache, carries with it the seed of an an equal or greater benefit.โ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐
1974 NIT Champs had a blast as our Chalk Talk guests today in Spurgeon Club at Mackey!! Part of the great tradition of Purdue Boilermaker Basketball!!

@JohnPurdueClub
Todayโs Chalk Talk guest in Spurgeon Club was Boilermaker MVP Jim Rowinski! He was a terrific guest and a really nice person! Glad to see him back on campus!
@JohnPurdueClub
@BoilerBall
Dave Alexander was every bit a local legend, and influenced many young people including me. He always had time for a joke or funny story. Dave will be greatly missed. Alexander Field is a great testament to his family legacy in our community.
A thrill to host Carl Landry back on campus today for our second John Purdue Club โChalk Talkโ Pregame event of the season at the Spurgeon Club at Mackey before a great win over Michigan!
@JohnPurdueClub
Also worth noting that the great Mike Carmin came along this season as a team member for Gold and Black. Mike was a pro at the J&C for decades and is one of the very best writers and communicators in our area without a doubt! Awesome work Mike!

I have closely followed Brianโs coverage of Purdue for so many years, yet his courage and candor and strength are so much more amazing. His friendship means a lot to so many of us. We will Keep praying for a quick recovery and the skill of his team! We love Brian!!
@brianneubert
A lot of emotions for so many friends recently. Really grateful to have enjoyed a beautiful day on the links with Chad Clisby, Coach Keady and Tom Yater.
A lot of great things happened for Purdue under Morganโs leadership, and he did it the right way. He had a commitment to the values Purdue wants to always be about in competition and the classroom. No one ever cared more. Grateful to have known and worked for him.
Todayโs uniform reveal is brought to you by BB Photography! We feature the retro shooting shirt, with โThe Clizโ favorite hat and the Troy Lewis era Nike High Tops!!! Boiler Up!!๐๐๐
It was a privilege every time I was able to be with Leroy. Always upbeat and with great stories. In 1987 voted The All-Time Greatest Player in the first 100 Years of Purdue football. His achievements will always be remembered. Thanks Leroy. Godspeed.
Last nightโs tribute to Cliz by
@OnAir_RBlackman
, Coach Painter, Elliot Bloom was terrific. Hats off to
@MarkAWalpole
and the Learfield team for their hard work. For lifelong fans of Cliz, it was very special!
What a privilege for all Purdue fans to watch the run Drew has had. Amazing!! On Sunday Night Football always with the intro: โDrew Brees, Boilermaker!โ
From the moment I cheered for Steve Trout and Ryne Sandberg in 1984, a day like this was beyond my wildest dreams. Grateful to be here. Not a bad view for the day! Boiler Up!
@BoilerFootball
The team at Twin City wishes all the best to our Boilermakers in the NBA Draft tonight! Jaden Ivey, Trevion Williams and Sasha Stefanovic! The community is proud of you!

Matt and his staff did a remarkable job with these guys. From 6-5 to a Big Ten title and a nail biting Elite Eight game. So much to be proud of for these guys!! What a year!! Thanks fellas!!!
Another great Mollenkopf Keyes Classic Golf Outing in Naples. Weather was terrific and guest of Honor Kevin Sumlin was having fun with Purdue Pete. I also learned what it is like to ride on the back of a golf cart with Kitch driving!

Since April of 1980 Purdue has aimed for this target. Today they hit the mark! Final Four!! On to PHX baby!! ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฏ
A good way to spend a cold January night. Celebrating Purdue Volleyball with their 2023 Awards Banquet in the Shively Club at Ross-Ade Stadium!! A great season! ๐๐๐

Boilermaker Sportswrap coming up. How long has it been since Purdue beat a top 5 Big Ten opponent on the road? Think John, Paul, George and Ringo.

As Purdue fans mourn Joe McConnell, it is a privilege to be with Larry Clisby as he enters the ISSA Hall of Fame. The soundtrack that Joe provided in the Tiller Years and the years Larryโs calls of Purdue Basketball provide the soundtrack for many a Purdue fan. RIP Joe.
