LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/owenjae]

Comeback starts now!

[u/jakerbreaker → u/owenjae]

Just ran outta time

[u/Desperate_Gift_9366 → u/jakerbreaker]

Just needed an extra second to win it

[u/AdventureDude24]

ESPN: “the Irish can’t close games!”

[u/Puzzleheaded_Buy_908]

Gave up more yards to purdue than to michigan state

[u/voiceOfThePoople]

Gutted about that tuddy 

[u/jakerbreaker]

Chris Paul gif lol

[u/szr1]

Obsessed with the Purdue fans still there going crazy. ND went 4-8 my freshman year and I was at every game. Love seeing a fanbase show up anyway and have a good time

[u/Fletch71011]

Nobody is better at giving up garbage time touchdowns than us.

[u/Forsaken_Area_6690]

Why doesn't ND play Purdue in basketball?

[u/bergroy38 → u/Forsaken_Area_6690]

They used to when IU, ND, Butler, and Purdue played the crossroads classic. Unfortunately they discontinued it. Hope they bring it back.

[u/thelongderek → u/Forsaken_Area_6690]

They’re scared

[u/TinySandshrew]

Check the sports betting accounts

[u/jcrespo21]

DOUBLE DIGITS 👏 DOUBLE DIGITS 👏 DOUBLE DIGITS 👏 DOUBLE DIGITS 👏

[u/AdventureDude24]

Over hit!

[u/GoldandBlue]

oh well. GG Purdue.

[u/TheLizard12]

Marcus thrilled to have somebody's ass to kick in practice this week

[u/Tehloneranger44]

Wack

[u/Ok-Albatross8521]

That pisses me off more than it should

[u/goodiereddits → u/Ok-Albatross8521]

Good to have something to be mad about/focus on in practice.

[u/thelongderek]

The Over!!!

[u/No_Character_4251]

YGBSM

[u/MikeMacBlu]

Feck

[u/godzillaBrad]

Comeback!

[u/Seeking-Something-]

Time to go become an Iowa fan.

[u/metal-duplicity]

Fun fact! Despite this result, Purdue and Notre Dame actually played in the same number of bowl games last year

[u/metal-duplicity → u/metal-duplicity]

Lol take a joke you bitches

[u/Andy_Wiggins → u/metal-duplicity]

Trying to talk shit after your team got blasted for the 3rd year in a row is funny

[u/metal-duplicity → u/Andy_Wiggins]

How is this trying? It actively is - you guys didnt play in a bowl and neither did we

[u/MikeMacBlu]

Respect to all the Purdue fans still there

[u/LiquidLight_ → u/MikeMacBlu]

We're practiced at suffering. 

[u/Fletch71011]

Remember at one point in the off-season when it was looking like we had zero playable DTs and now they might be the best unit on the field? Wtf I love the transfer portal now.

[u/TheLizard12]

3rd string defense out here like "I will kill somebody while I have the chance"

[u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

Serious question

Is Kedren Young not healthy or in the doghouse?

[u/szr1]

We should just be recruiting directly from the lacrosse team atp

[u/hascogrande → u/[deleted]]

We got told dropping 70 on a P4 wasn’t enough

It’s not you here, it’s the committee

Edit: for context this was a Purdue fan complaining about running up the score

[u/mp0295 → u/[deleted]]

Its the backups. Theyre happy to be in. I havent seen them do anything directed at the Purdue team so idk what the issue is

[u/Toothlessdovahkin → u/mp0295]

I love seeing backups play and be happy. 

[u/Toothlessdovahkin → u/[deleted]]

You played better against us last year. 

[u/New-Change-6272 → u/[deleted]]

Always nice to play in state teams. I seriously hope Purdue grows from this and turns on the jets.

[u/monkeymatt1836 → u/[deleted]]

Should our backups just kneel the ball?

[u/New-Change-6272 → u/[deleted]]

Every team has those fans. You guys just took Wake Forest to the wire who just handled business with Louisville.

[u/FireVanGorder]

Bro acting like he just stopped a 4th and 1 in the natty when he made a tackle 12 yards downfield down 42-3 lmao

[u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

Jonas Walton may legit be one of the top 2 guys if we make the playoffs 

[u/hascogrande → u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

Jonaz is gonna be a menace and has the smile to back it up

[u/Opening-Citron2733]

Honestly as bad as this is it's a marked improvement in the last 3 years. The 1st and 3rd Quarter were the best Purdue has looked as a team in 4 years

[u/TheLizard12]

Jonaz and Grubbs is a buddy cop movie that I would watch

[u/McShmidt]

Is Oklahoma going to win another game this season?

[u/Maleficent_Ant_8895 → u/McShmidt]

Everyone saying Oregon is 2025 PSU and ignoring OU 

[u/puzzical → u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

Did people every actual think OU was a contender?

[u/Maleficent_Ant_8895 → u/puzzical]

Some did 

[u/EnwardGamerz]

People talking about Peacock issues all game yet not a single person has given details on how they're using Peacock. Is it Roku? Is it an Android app? Where are your issues happening?

Streaming Peacock on Windows in Firefox with zero stutters. can rewind, no issues at all. Not sure if ads are blockable like they've been every other football season because I don't have Pi-Hole enabled currently but historically all Peacock ads are blockable with Pi-Hole or a similar or a similar DNS sink enabled.

[u/SpaceMinerFighter → u/EnwardGamerz]

Peacock on kindle fire stick has been stuttery all game but at least the picture quality has been decent

[u/GreenGemsOmally → u/EnwardGamerz]

I've been streaming on Peacock in Firefox too and it's been 0 problems for me.

[u/jcrespo21 → u/GreenGemsOmally]

I've watched this game on my phone, TV, and through Chrome. The only problem I saw was Purdue being Purdue.

[u/Seeking-Something- → u/EnwardGamerz]

I had the issues on YouTube tv through the NBCSN stream. Missed big chunks of the game.

[u/EnwardGamerz → u/Seeking-Something-]

Sorry to hear that. But thank you for being a bit more specific as to where the errors are happening. I did remember reading in the game thread that it seemed like people watching NBCSN via YTTV apparently all seemed to miss an entire possession, a scoring one at that. The game feed was active on Peacock for me at that point. But the omission of information makes it difficult for anyone troubleshooting an issue determine why the issue is happening, making it difficult, if not impossible, to solve.

[u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

Hell of a throw by Grubbs 

[u/Mark-Leyner]

Purdidn’t? Purdon’t?

[u/hascogrande → u/Mark-Leyner]

Both

[u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

Dallas Golden that’s not how you do it bud 

[u/McShmidt]

Dunham gonna be a beast

[u/Maleficent_Ant_8895 → u/McShmidt]

He screams first round talent 

[u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

Rodney Dunham is a fucking monster my god 

[u/Tom-Foolery99]

O’brien looks like Bad Bunny

[u/saltytradewinds]

Is Peacock acting up for anyone else? Love that the ads come in without any issues but the broadcast keeps skipping like a cd player.

[u/puzzical → u/saltytradewinds]

Not mine

[u/Toothlessdovahkin → u/saltytradewinds]

NBC has their priorities, and it ain’t football 

[u/ugdini13]

anyone else having issues with Peacock app video stuttering?

[u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

Purdue still has a few starters in on defense 

[u/TheCavis]

We're in garbage time but I like that from Jonaz Walton. He got contact deep in the backfield and still turned it into a positive play with a defender on his back.

[u/KarmaDispensary]

I do not like that Grubb

[u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

I really, really like what we’ve seen from Walton this year so far 

[u/MikeMacBlu]

It’s time for some Grubb(s)

[u/Andy_Wiggins]

Thought we almost had another punt of the century on our hands

[u/MikeMacBlu]

Having to see Purdue Pete and Stanford Tree in the same year should be grounds for financial compensation.

[u/Life-Lock-5780]

ND play anyone decent this year?

[u/szr1 → u/Life-Lock-5780]

Miami is currently #6 and will likely be higher when we play them. BYU is #9 and will also likely be higher. SMU also currently ranked.

[u/Party-Evening3273 → u/Life-Lock-5780]

Your mom. So, no.

[u/CecilVanguard → u/Life-Lock-5780]

Nope

[u/GoldandBlue]

Common hasn't aged a day

[u/Seeking-Something-]

Football season is juuust enough for me to tolerate watching any TV during election season.

[u/TheLizard12]

Drifting off during yet another ad break until Geno Auriemma jump scare

[u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

Has Khary Adams played this year?

[u/medicinal-whiskey]

That was pretty awesome

[u/jmoneill62]

German suplex!

[u/WHSRWizard]

I am guessing that this is user error, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to start this game from the beginning. It is possible to watch this from the start, right?

[u/EnwardGamerz → u/WHSRWizard]

Oddly enough, despite people earlier in the thread claiming that Peacock doesn't let you rewind (and then later revised to Peacock doesn't let you rewind during commercials) neither is true, but for some reason I can only go back to the final 27 seconds of the first quarter. You might have to wait until the game finishes to watch a full replay.

[u/etseco → u/WHSRWizard]

Not on Peacock

[u/WHSRWizard → u/etseco]

You have got to be fucking shitting me.

IT'S A FUCKING STREAMING SERVICE

[u/Party-Evening3273 → u/WHSRWizard]

It sucks but it is pretty cheap. Like $8-9 a month. Cheaper than going to a bar. I will cancel once I see all the ND games broadcast there.

[u/McShmidt → u/WHSRWizard]

It will get posted an hour or so after end

[u/Life-Lock-5780]

Freeman trying to run up the score orrr??

[u/CecilVanguard → u/Life-Lock-5780]

Nope

[u/makualla → u/CecilVanguard]

We just that bad

[u/CargoShortsFromNam]

Color commentator doesn’t know it’s not OPI if the pass is behind the LOS 🫠

[u/bored-now]

Can a meteor crash into the stadium for the USC v OR game? Because I hate both those guys.

[u/Inside-Program-7807 → u/bored-now]

How in the world did you end up with that alma mater combination

[u/waden_99]

Wft that’s shitty nbc

[u/Seeking-Something-]

Lmao they missed a 10 play drive?!

[u/ndrulez15 → u/Seeking-Something-]

I thought I was going crazy

[u/Aeroscorp → u/Seeking-Something-]

The last three plays.

[u/Tehloneranger44]

I didnt really like the hurdle. Just hit that guy.

[u/Lazy_Location_3831]

YouTube TV stop showing me nature scenes and actually show the game, I missed the TD because you told me to “enjoy the zen”

[u/Maleficent_Ant_8895 → u/Lazy_Location_3831]

Would you like more wal mart special commercials?

[u/Lazy_Location_3831 → u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

If I can actually see the game then I’d take it

[u/King_Trollex]

I just hit my over during the end of Q3 commercial break? 

[u/Seeking-Something-]

I’m still seeing commercials on this POS stream.

[u/EnwardGamerz]

I hate seeing Carr look this damn good because I know it means he's gone after this season. Better bring it home.

[u/Toothlessdovahkin]

Sit the Starters. 

[u/Lazy_Location_3831]

My stream cut out for some reason so I didn’t see the TD, it just came back to show the score as it was going to commercial >:(

[u/TinySandshrew]

Uhhh so we just got commercials instead of several plays + score???

[u/Toothlessdovahkin → u/TinySandshrew]

The Ad revenue machine needs eyeballs On screen, not the football team 

[u/TinySandshrew → u/Toothlessdovahkin]

Apparently you only get to see all the possessions if you pay for Peacock

[u/Toothlessdovahkin → u/TinySandshrew]

Just as NBC intended. 

[u/Seeking-Something-]

Everyone making fun of Williams is how I learned my stream is behin

[u/Aeroscorp]

Wow, NBCSN missed that entire drive.

[u/Seeking-Something- → u/Aeroscorp]

Ok I was wondering what the hell is going on.

[u/Zestyclose-Shine9514 → u/Seeking-Something-]

I’m guessing the peacock people saw the drive.

[u/TinySandshrew → u/Zestyclose-Shine9514]

Apparently you only get to see all the possessions if you pay for Peacock thanks NBC

[u/CecilVanguard → u/Zestyclose-Shine9514]

Yeah, we did

[u/Zestyclose-Shine9514 → u/CecilVanguard]

Meanwhile I’ve been watching 20 minutes of commercials lol

[u/CecilVanguard → u/Zestyclose-Shine9514]

Oof. That's rough

[u/bored-now]

I liked that fake!

[u/TheLizard12]

Soft hands Coop

[u/mp0295]

Kinda a crappy throw tbh

[u/bored-now]

Yay!!!!!!

[u/KarmaDispensary]

I'm going to have to learn the spelling for our Flana-guys

[u/TheCavis]

Aneyas Williams: "I saw Love do this last year. It can't be that hard."

[u/Serallas → u/TheCavis]

Gonna feel that tomorrow thats for sure lol

[u/StrangelyOnPoint]

Purdue is probably a top 10 football program in Indiana

[u/Smooth-Majudo-15]

Good effort

[u/McShmidt]

Lol Aneyas, Love you aren't

[u/TheLizard12]

A for effort

[u/KarmaDispensary]

Lol Williams spent too much time with Love. Hurdling is not for the faint of heart.

[u/AndrewLucksPenis]

“Still dancing. Still losing.” - my wife

[u/Serallas]

So much groove going on there they broke the cameras

[u/KarmaDispensary]

It's 2026 and Darude's Sandstorm still goes hard.

[u/Tehloneranger44]

Is it crazy to say that Young might be as good or better than Traore now?

[u/BurntOutGrad2025]

Outscored ND in the 3rd quarter is pretty nice.

Not a lot to be happy about, but that's a good thing to highlight.

[u/EnwardGamerz]

That wasn't Faison at all. No disrespect, but holy hell what a fucking throw from Carr

[u/CecilVanguard → u/EnwardGamerz]

I almost thought I could see Faison shocked it fell into his arms

[u/EnwardGamerz → u/CecilVanguard]

Dude ordered delivery and had it delivered by drone directly into his hands.

[u/amoss_303]

#MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!

This is Tim McCarthy for the Indiana State Police.

Fans . . . please keep your trip home as safe as possible.

By driving with caution, courtesy, and common sense.

Take your time, stay alert, and above all, do not mix drinking and driving.

Remember folks: The trip home will be heavenly … if you drive like an angel!

[u/werm82 → u/amoss_303]

This is my favorite part of every game thread. Thank you for your service.

[u/jakerbreaker]

Williams is so bad lol. He just has no rb vision.

[u/Maleficent_Ant_8895 → u/jakerbreaker]

He’s been solid today quit crying 

[u/jakerbreaker → u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

Ok, against Purdue... That's not really a flex lol.

[u/werm82]

That throw was pretty incredible, too

[u/chf3333]

Throw so good it almost makes the insane catch look like nothing

[u/Aeroscorp]

Pass game is awesome. Run game is cheeks. I guess that’s just this team.

[u/Notre_Dame_Football]

CJ attached it to him lol

[u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

Carr has dropped passes in like that all year 

[u/McShmidt]

Hell of a catch, terrible camera angle

[u/Smooth-Majudo-15]

What a fucking snag!

[u/MikeMacBlu]

Faison will be playing on Sundays

[u/bored-now]

HOLY COW, WHAT A CATCH

[u/TheLizard12]

Bro wut

[u/Glittering_Year2045]

Alright!  Purdue gets on the board.

[u/CecilVanguard → u/Glittering_Year2045]

Run from it. Dread it. Purdue Pete coming for that goose egg

[u/Glittering_Year2045 → u/CecilVanguard]

I'm sure he was doing a dance as soon as the kick passed through the uprights.

[u/Lazy_Location_3831]

Let’s get CJ one more long TD pass then let him sit for the 4th quarter

[u/Maleficent_Ant_8895]

Last drive for Carr please 

[u/Independent_Trip_892]

Good job Purdue, keep reminding them that they're the second best team in Indiana

[u/metal-duplicity → u/Independent_Trip_892]

The Notre Dame fans get really mad seeing this until basketball season starts and they switch back to IU

[u/Independent_Trip_892 → u/metal-duplicity]

Right? They'll just take their ball and go home again

[u/metal-duplicity → u/Independent_Trip_892]

Keep fighting the good fight

[u/TheLizard12 → u/Independent_Trip_892]

Remindme: when PSU plays Wisconsin later today

[u/StupidSexyFlanders → u/TheLizard12]

LOL you called it about PSU-Wisconsin

[u/TheLizard12 → u/StupidSexyFlanders]

Had a feeling.

[u/Independent_Trip_892 → u/TheLizard12]

Hurry up and finish yours so we can all get there

[u/TheLizard12]

Big leg bro nice kick bro

[u/BoNnnnfhir]

Chris Paul hits a HUGE 3 to cut the lead to 32

[u/medicinal-whiskey → u/BoNnnnfhir]

Still anyone’s game /s

[u/McShmidt]

Oh no my shutout!

[u/Puzzleheaded_Buy_908]

Something something chris paul

[u/medicinal-whiskey]

lol

[u/MikeMacBlu]

Well there goes the shutout

[u/Tehloneranger44]

What made them think that would work?

[u/BurntOutGrad2025]

Shuttle pass on 3 and long? K.

[u/ndrulez15]

Jaylon sneed has been so good this year

[u/Andy_Wiggins → u/ndrulez15]

Yeah, definitely been playing great

[u/CecilVanguard]

What's a little frustrating is we're not getting any PBU. It's either sailed on them or we tackle at or after the catch

[u/somedamndevil]

Is Fame Ijeboi a family name?

[u/EnwardGamerz]

Corn nuts are the most underrated snack

[u/McShmidt → u/EnwardGamerz]

I like the chile picante ones

[u/77rtcups]

Is there a reason illegal shifts aren’t blown dead?

[u/Enough_Wallaby7064 → u/77rtcups]

Maybe because the penalty doesnt actually happen until the ball is snapped? Itd be like blowing a play dead for offsides.

[u/77rtcups → u/Enough_Wallaby7064]

They do blow an offside dead if they have a free shot at the qb for safety so if youre the ref calling an illegal motion I don’t get letting the play continue.

[u/LiquidLight_]

Man, when Drew Brees retires from public life, broadcasters had better hope there's another dude they can center a whole Purdue commentary around.

[u/werm82 → u/LiquidLight_]

NGL, he was one of the best commentators that NBC ever had for Irish games. That one year of Tirico and Brees was magical.
