So ask yourself, would you rather be 4-0 against a bunch of cream puffs ? Or play Purdue’s schedule?
The answer is easy. Look at the posts by boilermaker fans verses the posts made IU fans!
IU fans don’t care who they beat. They are 4-0. And on top of the world. Purdue has looked good but lost. And Purdue fans are very upset. And want to fire their coach.
I’ve said it all along! People like winning! Period. They don’t care who the team plays or what the score is. People like a winner!
Just ask Iowa fans what they want . Ask IU fans ! Ask Penn st fans. People want a winner!
There’s only one fan who cares about the schedule and I’ll bet that one fan is not happy at the moment and will follow up this post with a very defensive post. It’s clear what my point is! People don’t care how many fcs teams Purdue plays! Most fans don’t even know what an fcs team is or how bowl game assignments are made. When Purdue wins, people go home happy!
I remember in the 70’s, Purdue upset Michigan 14-13. I don’t remember anything about the plays or the plays of that game. I just remember we won. I also recall playing Notre dame and we were winning until Notre dame’s third string QB replaced their injured starter. And led nd to victory. I don’t recall the score. I just recall we lost
We played in a bowl game against auburn I doubt anybody remembers the score or the name of the bowl game. What we remember is that we lost. Just like the loss to Georgia in the Outback bowl. In that game we were ahead by a lot of points at halftime. But what we remember most, is we lost.
5 years from now, nobody will remember our schedule or what our record was. What people will remember is if we won. Or lost.
So post away about the technical requirements of what is needed to be selected to a bowl game. People don’t care! All they really care about is if we won or lost.
