The ancient banners from back in the last century? Why would anyone hate them since they are long forgotten outside of clownpantsnation.
I heard the guys from Antiques Roadshow on A&E put in a bid for them. $20 for the lot.
Does IU have an Archaeology department to determine the age of these banners you speak of ?
Does Purdue have a Fortune Telling department to determine the age of theirs?
What is better about it? Did you have anything to do with any of them? Were you even alive for any of them?
Like telling a HS kid in 1987, hey we won some between 1905 to 1952.
I’d imagine there aren’t many posters who played for the Boilers or the Hoosiers so none of us have had anything to do with any of our teams’ success.
And France and Spain used to be world powers. No one cares.
Riiiiiiight.
You sound like a Nebraska football fan.
Im just trying to figure out what the statute of limitations is on remembering historical success. Because clearly Purdue is able to commemorate a final 4 from 40 years ago, but IU is lame for commemorating national titles from 35 years ago.
Gee, congrats on such a successful life as a spectator! Just think of the stories you can tell your grandkids.
That certainly deserves a banner, but better make it plastic to easily clean off the geese droppings.
Congrats, it seems obvious that you prefer Purdue’s place in men’s college basketball history with 0 NCAA National Championships. Those “forgotten” banners will surely show up on a graphic during ESPN’s broadcast on Wednesday night when IU hosts UNC. Congrats on that Goose Egg, the goose poop is just a convenient and friendly reminder to your fan base and your place in history.
Again, you insist on confusing NCAA Championships with National Championships. Prior to the mid-1960s, the NCAA Championships were not considered National Championships de facto. The NIT was at least as prestigious if not more so prior to then. Purdue was voted National Champion when Wooden played. Of course, Kansas and North Carolina were also voted during that era. They hang banners today commemorating those teams and legitimately so.
I was just stating facts and not being inconsistent. If you state that Purdue has one Helm’s title in 1932 and IU does not have a Helm’s title, I would agree with you and not state that you are being inconsistent by stating that fact.
Actually, you perhaps misstated in your post; it seems now that your implied position is unclear. You posted that Purdue had 0 NCAA National Championships, but your handle is 5-0. That strongly suggests that you consider the pre-1960s NCAA titles as National Championships. Let's be clear: is it your position that the pre-1960s were not National Championships or is it that they were?
I would have thought the prison authorities would not let you access a computer for obvious reasons, Jared, but here you are desperately defending your beloved alma mater.
Riveting stuff here, enjoy your non-interesting goose egg, past seasons and last week’s weather.
Times have changed for IU. You can answer the following, because you were actually alive when these happened. When was the last time IU cut down the nets? And what was the occasion? And when was the last time they gave out rings? For what championship?
These changed times are really rough right now for IU. What was Brian Butch thinking today when mentioning IU as the favorite to win the BigTen and a Final Four team??? Clearly, Butch doesn’t understand how times have changed for IU.
And you enjoy trying to explain why you believe your idiot statement that Biden 'believes in the rule of law,' Sheriff.
A lot of times when I’m on your shitty campus, I can’t tell if I’m on Long Island or rural Indiana with all your east coast accents there. Is that why only 10,000 people show up for games?
