• #1 Purdue vs. #8 MSU in the Big Ten Tournament - Open Thread

    The #1 seed Purdue Boilermakers take on the #8 seed Michigan State Spartans today in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This will be the first game of the Big Ten Tournament for the Boilermakers but the second game in as many days for the Spartans.

You might recall in that game that only 10 points were scored by anyone whose...

  • #1 Purdue vs. #5 Wisconsin - Big Ten Tournament Semi-Finals Open Thread

    Yesterday was scary, there’s no denying it. We all held our collective breathes when Braden Smith went down. That is one of two nightmare scenarios that Purdue fans feared as we began this Big Ten Tournament. Now, that fear is heightened since we came so close to a season ending injury. Braden Smith says he’s ready to go, but Matt Painter has said they will evaluate him today. As many of you know, a lot of injuries can become worse the next day and be especially sore. If Braden Smith has even...

  • The big idea: should we worry about trillionaires?

    Individual wealth is reaching levels we’ve never seen before. What might that mean?At the beginning of each year, the world’s corporate and political elite gather in the Swiss ski resort of Davos to pat each other on the back, attend seminars on “the fourth Industrial Revolution” – whatever that might be – and generally mull over the state of the world.

  • OTM Open Thread 3/28: It is Thursday

    Happy Opening Day! In, checks notes, just over 12 hours the Red Sox take on the Seattle Mariners. 10:10 PM ET. LOL. Full Throttle indeed.

Good thing trading Mookie gave the team so much...
