This is my first post on this board.. I am a Purdue grad and have always been a huge sports fan and therefore a huge Purdue sports fan. But I cannot do this anymore. I am getting older and I cannot do this to my health anymore. We are destined to underachieve and apparently this will not change in my lifetime. So I am done...

Good. Take your bandwagon and go die in a fire with the rest of the embarrassments.

Boilermagi, are you accepting of our Men's revenue athletic team performance? I'm trying to figure out how coaches are paid Millions to coach and perform and when Purdue melts down as a team, the fans are supposed to be ok with it. I couldn't go to work and lose 80% of the time in quoting like Hazell does in football OR drop a key account like Painter did today against a 12 seed with new coach and 10 new players and still keep my job.

My colleagues get canned for far less. And get paid a fraction of his salary

For what it's worth, here is Painter's resume since getting the huge contract. He's being paid top 25 coaching money but not producing top 25 results:

11-12 22-13, lost in 2nd rd
12-13 16-18, lost in CBI" quarterfinals
13-14 15-17
14-15 21-13, lost in 1st round
15-16 26-9, lost in 1st round
 
Being a fan isn't really a conscious choice, you just are or you aren't. I wish I could be a fan of a team like Michigan state, who's always in the conversation, but it would be a lie. I think we're all stuck with Purdue and we just have to hope that something happens to turn things around. Tough night

this the only thing i can control is whether I watch. I care, I care way too much. Ill admit it! I am a boilermaker! But **** me sideways if you think I am going to support mediocrity. Mediocrity is how you get to be a top 100 engineering school instead of a top 10.

And having been a longtime Spartan fan, we have gone through our troubles in football, but basketball always gave us hope. Now, it's just,living the dream.

I just thought it would be funny to get this to the top for a second. If my team was as dominant as MSU has been it honestly wouldn't occur to me to be so insecure as to go to other teams boards to boast, yet here we are. Well I mean, I'm here - I'm sure this guy is nowhere to be found.
