They really thought they were going to catch us and now all the air has been let out of their balloon. Even their board is a ghost town.
Man, IU fans are really quiet today.
- Thread starter Abugabby
- Start date
I can’t wait until the Boilers kick the shit out of iu.
I would much rather Purdue make the FF and compete for a NC next month,
even if it meant getting sweep by another school in the regular season.
Winning everything would be nice but March Madness success far more important.

For as good as your last post was that I commented on, this one is the opposite. Just a bad take. But you do you.
They all did. They talk so much shit. Before the beginning of the season, they were going to win it all and we were going to suck. Every year is the same. They are a comical but sad bunch.
Sorry Abu. I really do like you as a poster and a rational, funny, salty Purdue fan.
You teed that one up! But I’ll delete my response.
I’m not taking back my line about candy striped pants making people handsome and smarter though.

But you are comparing them with the denizens living around Bloomington. I'm thinking of the banjo-playing kid in Deliverance. More handsome and smarter? The debate continues.
I had to sit next to my buddy at a sports bar in Jamaica wearing those ugly candy *ss pants. I told him to quit scaring people. They probably will think you are Jared from Subway 😵💫
That they do...not all, but a majority of the cult. This year they did have reason to have optimism to be towards the top of the Big. When you bring back a generally competitively team, an older more seasoned team, and add two 5*s there was reason many could expect that this year, after a few decades, they were the team to beat in the BIG. The flip side is that Purdue who lost 5 (Trevion, Jaden,Sasha, Hunter and IT)out of their top 7 players was expected by many (not this poster) to be fighting the middle of the pack in the Big and so this year has been something less than desired.
That said, they are a good team and it is obvious how important the Purdue game is for IU again with pulling many players the last 3 minutes or so down 11??? as though a reminder was needed after seeing them rush the floor a month or so ago. I expect Purdue to win, but more often than not, this is a dogfight no matter what has happened before...
We need this game for a one seed. Nothing more needs to be said
C'mon Pop -- tell me those don't look way good! Especially if you put them on the right person like Oladipo, Hulls, or the other model below. Now your buddy may not have had the build for it:
Anyway -- in advance, here's to an injury-free game this weekend between two excellent teams!
Cheers.

That's OMHR's color, Iowa Gold. Purdue's color is Old Gold.Apparently his favored color scheme was different that you expected:
That's OMHR's color, Iowa Gold. Purdue's color is Old Gold.
True!
Purdue and IU? Bitter rivals, but we can agree:
Iowa and their 'Iowa Gold super-fan' Richard Simmons are horrible and complete losers.
Though this worries me:
Don't tell them but IU's colors aren't red and white eitherThat's OMHR's color, Iowa Gold. Purdue's color is Old Gold.
1. Purdue will win the IU game by double digits.
2. Purdue will win the regular season B10 championship (congratulations).
3. Some team, not IU, will win the B10 tournament (which should be abolished).
4. Purdue's freshman guards will lead to an early NCAA exit.
5. Historical and legitimate NC banners remain - IU 5 / PU 0.

Bob Knight and his Blue Blood are never coming back to the IU sideline. 5 is where it will stay.
I can remember when IU fans would make fun of us for cheering for the Purdue women's BB team when they were playing for national championships.
Another loser, bragging about achievements that took place before he was born, by people he doesn’t know, at a school he didn’t go to. Sad.
Unfortunately that's what happens when threads like this get started. I know this particular chucklenut will freely give his terrible opinion on anything but please stop giving them extra reasons to comment here.
The only disagreement you have from me is on #5.
A banner proclaiming the #1 team in the Nation based on the total body of work is more legitimate than the winner of a one and done tourney.
Why does the NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball, for example, all have a multi game series to determine the best team?
The #4 prediction should be clarified. With the potential on the team I guess an early exit would be the Great 8.
I think that is very reasonable.
Now IF Edey comes back next year is a whole different scenario.
Purdue has 1. Don't forget it, it means as much as Notre Dame's Football championships.
If Edey comes back next year, and with the experience gained by the "sophomore" guards, I'd think Purdue would have to be a lock for the final four and the favorite to win it all.
Those 5 banners...maybe not as important as the helms since teams were chosen to play other chosen teams at chosen sites. No computer data to prevent some human bias in those selections. Less teams played and what about teams that might have got hot in the tourney that had maybe had less of a year than the tourney would show. We have seen a lot of those. Each banner is a flash in the pan where there is no best of series under non biased selection. Give them their due for the times in which they played, but not "modern" basketball as I read before.
Like comparing scoring before the shot clock and after...before the 3 ball and after...all that data was at different times and comparing before and after needs some astericks. Natural order of best program is Purdue in the Big...
