Well,like I said,IU fans have to bring basketball into a football discussion.You must be awful nervous to keep hanging onto those banners.Take a chill pill and have a pleasant evening.
IU gets to play us for a bowl game
- Thread starter BBG
- Start date
I still don't understand what I'm supposed to be nervous about. Do you mean like hanging onto Joe Tiller like he is somehow the norm and not the exception, or how your AD's flagship program is currently #11 in the Big 10? If this is the case, I think you should be much more nervous: IU basketball is much more likely to rebound and has a much higher ceiling than PU football.

My point exactly. Purdue is in a big cupcake division and you can not win and you are not getting better you are getting worse. You are really close to the Kansas University level of bad.
I truly believe that we will all eventually see some type of super-conference that takes the OSUs, Alabamas, Michigans of the world and has them in their own independent alignment. This conference will have guaranteed spots in the BCS playoffs every year. There is no need for schools like IU, Purdue and Illinois who bleed the bowl revenue from those elite schools who carry the conference with revenue-sharing. Not sure I understand the incentive for OSU to be affiliated with the little guys other than to provide a cupcake win.
Will never happen for the reason you mentioned. If those programs start playing one another, most of them will go from elite to either average or bad. Their egos couldn't stand it. They will keep sharing revenue so they can continue to be elite.
The point you don't seem to get that even though Purdue is exactly as bad as you say they are, IU is not a whole lot better. This is like bragging about being the tallest midget. Congrats.
Who said football is Purdues flagship program?After all,Purdue has 20 plus more wins than the Hoosiers in their long running basketball rivalry,and Matt Painter has beaten Tom Crean 8 times out of 12.You don't like to be teased about those banners,do you?
Good God, you Loosiers are idiots. Here are some cold, hard facts for you:
Purdue All-Time Record: 598-544-48 (.523)
8 BIG Championships, 12 Conference Titles total
17 bowls (9-8 overall)
IU All-Time Record: 459-631-45 (.424)
2 BIG Championships
9 bowls (3-6 overall)
Purdue has gone to 12 bowls since 1993.
IU has gone to 2 bowls since 1993.
Head-to-head: Purdue 72 IU 39 Ties 6
Purdue is significantly better than IU historically and has owned the Loosiers. Face it, IU's program is historically bad. In fact, one of the very worst programs in the history of college football, and I believe the worst in BIG history. (Northwestern and Rutgers might give IU a run for its money on this account.)
One last thing, Wake Forest 82, Loosiers 78 - Tom Crean, the gift that keeps on giving.
PU has never done anything on a national level: never have, never will. Those 20 wins are a relic of the pre-NCAA era: IU has erased about half the margin and are a good hire away from erasing the rest. Crean is definitely a joke and should have been gone by now: no way he lasts this season. That being said, Painter is good for PU, but isn't close to an elite coach, either.
I'll take dusty banners, tied for 3rd all time, and the tradition and support to be elite over nothing any day of the week. That is like saying you would rather be Purdue in football than Notre Dame.
Thanks for the post.I guess the IU basketball team left their high ceiling in Gloomington.Maybe they need to take the banners when they travel.
Yeah, but you are #11 in the Big Ten. Historically, you guys suck, just a little bit less. Typically, you don't measure your program against one team, but every other team.
Having 0 banners and being nationally irrelevant is awesome and is no doubt superior to having tradition. I'm sure that will all turn around for you guys this year.
IU losses will only bring Crean's departure sooner and a coach like Brad Stevens or Gregg Marshall sooner: fine by me. Seriously, what would you do if Stevens became IU's head coach? It would be close to another Knight era.
You are like a Chicago Bear fan who cant shut up about their 1985 team.Why are some people sure Brad Stevens wants to come to IU.Bob Knight beat Purdue 31 Times ,to 29 wins for Purdue.Since Purdue leads by 27 games ,the next Hoosier coach who is as good as Knight was against Purdue,would only need about 400 years to even the series.Will Bob Knight ever come back to Bloomington or is he going to pout forever?

Only five plays from a winless season ... everyone knows about the Saluki who dropped the game-winner, the Hilltoppers leaving halftime in a fog, the Deacons who were bored with their foe, the Twerps, ... and what the heck is FIU? ... besides the way everyone refers to IU?
Banners? A single Boilermaker won twice that many, and he did it inside a 12-year span.

Have you really posted multiple times to argue that your football team sucks less than Purdue?
Congrats.
Now go celebrate the Wake Forest loss.
Loosiers.
The Truth has spoken, we are all amazed with such knowledge that means absolutely nothing to no one but he thinks he is saying something , so let him rant on while we roll our eyes.
Won two national championships without Knight. Ranked #1 3 years ago. Two things Purdue hoops has never done right?
Yes,those banners did a lot of good in Maui,didnt they?
Oh you mean ranked number 1 when you flamed out in the S16 and gave out rings to celebrate?
It's funny, when it comes to basketball success, IU's history is "dusty" and shouldn't be mentioned according to Purdue fans. But you're very quick to bring up IU's football history to prove a point. No, IU doesn't have a good football history - no IU fan claims it does - but if we're not acknowledging the long past, it looks to me like recent history favors IU football in the last three bucket games.
Yes,you are right about recent history.And that other IU fan,Mr Truth is the one who brought basketball into a football discussion.
You are correct.Its too bad Purdue cant afford to can Hazell.IU's football history sucks and IU's recent basketball history is nothing to brag about. Any IU fan that says otherwise is fooling him or herself.
That being said, IU's recent history in the bucket game is noteworthy.
