I guess I’m more of a fan of the game of football than I am of the Purdue boilermakers!
One the most exciting games I ever watched was when Joe Montana as a third string qb, came into the game and led Notre dame to victory!
I love watching and cheering on a running back making a long run. He could go all the way. I don’t really care whose team he’s on.
I loved watching oj Simpson and Barry sanders and Walter Payton doing their thing.
I cheered for mark herman, Brady and manning and didn’t care what team they played for.
I loved all those UW running backs going all the way back to Billy marek and Rufus road runner Ferguson or Williams or whatever his name was.
I wasn’t born or raised in Indiana so I didn’t grow up with a hatred towards IU. Growing up all I really knew about IU was they had a great swim team, an awesome soccer team And Bobby kight.
Purdue had Rick Mount but my favorite college basketball player was Lew AlCinder.
I don’t consider myself a diehard Purdue fan who craves for that hard fought 16-14 score average some tough team.
I like to see an exciting game.
I watched the Ice Bowl. But the only thing I remember was the final Packers Td. The rest of the game was a boring blur.
So give me some excitement!
It’s odd how flip floppy Purdue fans here are. When I post how Purdue should Be more like Iowa and just be a boring team that wins low scoring games and finishes with 8-4 seasons, you all hate my suggestion and say , that’s not Purdue football. We are the cradle of QBs. We need to sit it out and score a lot of points. And then when I say, we need to play an easy schedule so we can air it out and score a lot of points, you say, no we need to play tougher opponents and win low scoring boring games.
So make up your minds! Do you like blowouts? Or low scoring games? It’s rather clear what IU wants. They are doing the same thing Alabama and OSU do scheduling cream puff non conference games.
I have to ask, when was the last time Purdue football was ranked in the top 20 and went to a significant bowl games? I realize you hate IU. But they were smart and accomplished both last year!
Casual fans love blow outs! And so do bars and pizza restaurants!
