Motor City Boiler

@wheresmymalm @HammerAndRails Week 1 was awesome

It’s one thing to wear a Purdue shirt, but it’s another to wear a Purdue football schedule shirt when their record was 1-11 that year. That’s a true boiler. @HammerAndRails

@BoiledSports He's such an easy going guy, I'm sure he's fine with it.

I can already hear Coach Mick lamenting about the trip to West Lafayette 🥶🥶🥶

@brianneubert I wonder if Mick Cronin is happy UCLA's travel schedule this year.

@SchutteDustin It's already happening. My mom doesn't bother watching the Tigers anymore - she used to be a die-hard. Too much trouble now. It's not really even about price: she can afford it. But doesn't want to bother with the hoops needed to jump through.

I don’t know that this is going to happen in our lifetime, but I do feel like sports are going to price themselves out of “an escape” for a lot of people. You have to have 35 subscriptions to watch your favorite teams. Prices get more outrageous for attending & streaming. Crazy.

Thanks, we hate it.

@DavidGPuppet @MattNorlander Who do you think the network pays for the right to broadcast the games?

@MattNorlander Revenue for who?? The NCAA doesn’t sell the commercial time. The networks do.

Am told by sources a big reason for this number is the NCAA expanding the amount of commercials allowed during NCAAT games in order to manufacture more revenue. The beer/liquor industry will be at the front of the line.

@EvanPetzold Doing us a favor

Framber Valdez and A.J. Hinch suspended. #Tigers

How bad are things? I think Dustin was being gracious.

@MaverickTy @notcharliejones I see you just say things without doing any research or citing any sources. Can't say I don't expect that based on what I assume is an IU education. Although it's just as likely that you went to a local community college. Which is fine, of course. indystar.com/story/sports/c…

@vortec4253 @notcharliejones Has it? Continuously disrespected by his AD in compensation? Terrible resources. Could be a GOAT at a serious school.

You guys don’t wanna let Paint start getting 5 stars cuz it’s over for the league

@harrisonraby @SickosCommittee *lighter

@SickosCommittee We can make him better than he was. Better…stronger…faster.

They're making Purdue Pete.

An iconic 1945 photo shows American soldier Ivan Babcock jokingly wearing the Crown of the Holy Roman Empire... Private First Class Ivan Babcock (29 at the time), a member of the Army's 165th Signal Photo Company. The photo was taken inside a mine in Siegen, Germany, which the Nazis had used as a secret storage facility to protect precious works of art from bombing. April 1945, near the end of WWII. Babcock wrote in his diaries that he wore the crown as a joke, despite sensing the object's incredible historical significance. The original image is in black and white and was digitally colored by Julius Jääskeläinen. The Crown of the Holy Roman Empire. The relic, also known as the Reichskrone, is one of the most important jewels in European history. It was probably made in 10th Century (962 AD) for the coronation of Otto I. It has a unique octagonal structure, is made of gold and decorated with 144 precious stones (including sapphires, emeralds, and amethysts) and pearls. It was the official crown used for the coronations of the Holy Roman Emperors until 1792. Today, it is kept in the Imperial Treasury at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, Austria. © Colorized History #archaeohistories

@MaverickTy @notcharliejones Good thing he wasn't, things turned out pretty good for him.

@notcharliejones Yeah if only Painter was good enough to play at the school he wanted to

@BoiledSports Same differential as IU. (-27)

Thought it would be worse

@goobyhatesyou @nsitto2

@nsitto2 We are like the 8th team to do it, we did it against the magic back in 03 lmao

@ZedMinor @ArtButSports @BenZimmerman819 Edward Hopper, "Rooms by the Sea", 1951

@ArtButSports @BenZimmerman819 What is the door/ocean one?

💥⚾️🎨

@GfedGoCrazy Kind of like this, right?

Stadium head in me can’t ignore the egregious amount of space on the LCA floor for a pistons game It’s so obviously built to be a hockey arena first Fans need to be closer to the court for a top tier playoff environment

@LawesMR818 @GfedGoCrazy They have that. They had them set up for the NCAA tournament games.

@GfedGoCrazy You’re right regarding the areas behind the baskets… i really wish they would just add stands like The Palace had bring the baskets. The rest of the arena is really good for basketball though, they just need to fix that

@BoiledSports I'm more bothered by the extraneous apostrophe.

I need some words to be defined in this tweet to make sure we’re on the same page

@nwbaird @brianneubert @samueltking Don't feed the trolls

@brianneubert @samueltking Go research that on your own, and we'll have you on as a guest to explain it to everyone.

BoilersXTRA needs your mailbag questions for this week's episode. What questions do you have for @samueltking and I about Purdue sports, college sports in general, pure weapons grade nonsense, etc.?

@demigod1988 @KWall907 @AnaheimDucks You need a much higher angle to see that

@vortec4253 @KWall907 @AnaheimDucks You can easily see the red line and the white paint between the puck

It's a game of inches #FlyTogether

@itmeolliev @AndyStaples You can't. But being on the record with something that can be proven false later provides a little more accountability. That is, if there are any actual consequences to lying (which I doubt).

@AndyStaples How do you prove a negative?

Tucked under the NCAA release about five-to-play-five eligibility is this little gem: A proposal for a tampering enforcement structure where the school that got the player has to prove it didn't tamper -- or it'll be guilty of tampering.
