The only three programs to win a bowl game, advance to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA basketball tournament, and qualify for the NCAA baseball tournament this year.

To be sure, the categories are arbitrary and chosen because Purdue accomplished them, but this really has been a fun year for a lot Purdue sports. Both men's basketball and baseball set school records for consecutive wins this year.

Not wrong with giving our university credit. We know it does not happen very often with the regional or national arena

Clemson made it to the football semifinal. Hard to hold that against them. Good company, though!

Ya, that's definitely a fair point. We should probably also add that not all bowl wins are equal. Beating Arizona was a great way to end the season, but it's not the same level of accomplishment as playing in the national semi-final.
