Two years ago you say, well the two wearing the Butler gear most likely were IU fans.
Anyone else notice more people wearing Purdue gear ?
- Thread starter Mr_Scott
- Start date
Four separate "Boiler Ups" on Longboat Key today. The beaches are safe
They were outside Chicago and had a son at Butler studying data analytics, but know exactly what you mean.
The furthest from 'home' I remember seeing someone with Purdue gear was walking across the Chain Bridge in Budapest and got to exchange a "Boiler Up" with a couple of other alums.
We lived in Sugar Land up until last year and saw a few Purdue flags in the neighborhood. I’d wear Purdue gear and would get an occasional Boiler Up! Might have to make a trip back in April if things go as hoped.
Wear Purdue gear almost 100% of the time when I travel and it’s rare to not hear a “Boiler Up!” walking through an airport.
Got one from a pilot two weeks ago.

About 5 years ago, I was in a bar called Foxy’s on Jost Van Dyke in the BVIs. People hang hats, flags, etc. Someone had hung an IU license plate above the bar. I got my hands on a sharpie and wrote “POTFH! Boiler Up!” on it.
Who started out so young and strong Only to surrender
No but I’m getting a lot of attention wearing all mine down here in SEC land…Tennessee, Bama etc.

You only know 2 Purdue fans? What neck of the woods is this?
You definitley need to get out more.
I interact with 2 almost daily. I guess I know a 3rd. Southern Indiana....
1. Indiana
2. Kentucky
3. Louisville
4. Purdue/Notre Dame
5. Ohio State
Yep. You definitely need to get out more. That's a closed little society you live in. Obviously scientists and engineers aren't in big demand in your neck of the woods, and probably not business people of Krannert quality. But surely you know a veteranarian, pharmacist, or even someone with an agriculture background who attended college.
I guess the more I think about it... You could stretch it to like 5 people I know. One is a pharmacist. 3 of them have literally zero affiliation with Purdue. Not a thing. Didn't go there, no friends or family who did.
I am the same way, tj. My second comment is "BSME74". They then realize I am alumni and we compare degrees. Then the typical "Boiler Up, Hammer Down", and off we go with big smiles.-+
Of course. We chartered a catamaran with two other couples and traveled around the BVIs for a week. One of the best vacations ever. Had some good times at the Willy T as well.
