This is actually very impressive, and I'm glad we are back to having a winning record against all other B1G teams. If I remember right, Illinois is close as well. So, we'd like to put some more distance there in the last game.
The Illinois series is 104-90. The John Groce years were good for Purdue. That series looks safe for the foreseeable future.
You sound bitter. What a shame.
I don't think those series numbers would be all that much different since World War II. The Ray Eddy years in the 1950s were lean, but since then Purdue has been in the upper echelon of the B1G with remarkable consistency. For instance, Purdue has a winning record against MSU. The two teams played only once before WWII.
As a Hoosier fan, I know math doesn't make much sense to you but try to stay with me here...
Probably not bitter. Simply insecure. After all, this is an IU fan on the Purdue board.
Good job establishing arbitrary timelines -- it's a fun game! Good job RMK for being 20-21 against Keady, good job IU for going 0-for-Archie, etc., etc.
And as an Indiana fan I know how Purdue fans love shoving the All-Time record against IU in our faces... Until you remind them that Indiana is 80-75 against Purdue since 1939... Purdue was 50-11 before that. Purdue won a ton in those early years. 12 conference titles before 1939 and even got a Helms title. Things seemed to change though when the NCAA gave birth to the NCAA tourney and modern college basketball.As a Hoosier fan, I know math doesn't make much sense to you but try to stay with me here...
In the Big Ten Conference pre-1945, Purdue had a conference record of 289-182 (61.3%). Post-1945, the conference record is 713-523 (57.7%)
Again, why are you here?

Says the guy who brags about banners that were earned before he was born, by people he doesn’t know, many of whom are dead.
I am interested in knowing how many years iu hoops has been wearing those embarrassing and undignified clown pants.
I don't know... How did Purdue fare from 2000-2007? Almost like it's been a pretty damned even series over the past like 80 years.
Okay...I'm sorry you sucked before 1939.
Wow, I thought we passed Illinois at some point and that was the final team. But that was probably 20 years ago now.
Sure if you want. Part of it. It's went back and forth plenty. Hell even Mike Davis went 9-2 against Purdue. Seems wild right?
I'd actually argue that McCrackens was kind of modern. The speed those IU team splayed with keeps up with today's. Just no 3pt line. They were scoring in the 80s back then.
Don’t know, don’t care. Only complete losers take pride in accomplishments by people they don’t know, that happened before they were born.
This is something invented by IU fans. Only IU fans care. Only IU fans talk about it. Since you only live with IU fans, it's your universe. Everyone else thinks it's silly little brother talk, which it is.
I have a friend who is a Purdue fan that brings it up constantly actually. And it is always brought by Purdue fans on Twitter. Purdue fans are proud of it because they feel it's more impressive than 5 national titles.
Well, you said in another thread (yeah, you're in all of them) that you only knew like 5 PU fans. So this one is a friend and he/she is the arbiter of all things PU?? Great, just go away please. IU is having a nice season, go over to your own board and enjoy it. Why do you constantly need validation from people here? If anyone of us were this friggin annoying on that site of yours we would have been kicked off weeks ago.
And I don't know what "that site of yours" means. I've never been on the rivals Indiana site.
Speaking of redundant and boring......
not a lot of difference between those banners and helms banners. Even the ones that grandparents may know, were absent sophisticated, statistical measures and were instead teams chosen to play chosen teams at chosen sites on chosen dates to maximize gate. Although to a degree that still happens, it removes some of the preferences for those things previously to exist.
There is a massive difference. Helms titles were just handed out. NCAA titles were played for through a tournament.
Purdue fans do NOT parse the winning/losing streaks as you were doing. It's embarrassingly silly when you think about it, which is why you suddenly changed the subject.
They don't parse the winning streaks? You serious? It's all Purdue fans have been doing the past decade.
By this (il)logic, there were no college football national champs before 2014. That must really bother you and your IU buddies to accept that Notre Dame has never won a national championship.
Why would I care about Notes Dame? College football and college basketball are two different sports and ran completely differently. There is no comparison to be made.
Yeah, I see where you're coming from on that. Sometimes when I watch video or look at box scores from games in the 60s I'm amazed at how often teams got in the 90s or 100s before a shot clock or three point shot. And not just Purdue, lots of teams seemed to play at a crazy pace back then. It's like three dribbles and shoot.
If we are talking speed of play...does anyone approach Piggy Lambert in changing the game and going fast? He pioneered the fast break
All the Purdue people understand what was being said. Your inability to understand common knowledge among Purdue people show how detached you are from the visuals of IU fans. You don't know what you don't know and your inability to know that leaves a gap in understanding. I don't care if you are on this forum or care that you are an IU fan or try to make some case for iu in some manner.
Good point. Obviously that's waaaaaayyyyy before my time, but I've read about Lambert being an innovative coach.
