Less than 24 hours away from Purdue’s week two game against Wake Forest it’s time for a final look back at Purdue’s week 1 game against Indiana State. This week I asked you all to tell me if Purdue’s performance against the Sycamores changed your expectations for the rest of the season. It seemed like a good thing to ask given that I had already asked all of you how you graded Purdue’s week 1 performance. The results were not great if you’re Purdue.

As you can see the majority of respondents graded Purdue at a C. That’s not what you want out of week 1 when you’re playing a cupcake. So given that C grade I was curious if that changed expectations up or down. Of course. there was also the option for no change. So, let’s take a look at the results.

A whopping 76% of respondents didn’t change their expectations after week 1 which honestly seems very reasonable, rationale, and not at all okay for this current internet age. Those 76% are the well adjusted respondents. 22% revised their expectations down and those are the people who likely graded Purdue much lower than a C. Honestly, I don’t blame them. Then, there are the true sickos. 2% of respondents actually raised their expectations after week 1. I can only assume Fame Ejiobe blew them away and their are pushing all their chips in on him. This time tomorrow we will have a much better idea of who this Purdue team is.

If you’d like to place a wager on tomorrow’s Purdue vs. Wake Forest game the line is currently Purdue +2.5 and the O/U in 49.5 from our friends at FanDuel. If you’re going to gamble please do so responsibly and don’t gamble money that you aren’t prepared to lose. Stay safe my friends.
