Our losing streak to Wisconsin is bad.....

[TC4THREE]

.....BUT I just read that IU hasn't beaten Ohio State since 1988. That almost seems impossible.

That is unreal.

IU topped OSU in 1987 and 88,which is their only two wins over them since 1951.

Wow lol

 

[BoilersRock]

Their win over Michigan last year was their first since 87 as well.

For us, Purdue's current !!$@!#! losing skid to Wisconsin is the longest ever against a conference foe. It's long past due to end it...

I’m starting to understand why IU fans all act like the 1980s were just a couple weeks ago.

The 1980s were great

The 1980s were great

I was telling a bunch of people in their 70s at a car mechanic waiting room that id go back right now if I could. They looked at me curiously and when I said “what’s that worst that could happen? If I wasn’t there to answer my house phone no one could get ahold of me???” They all laughed heartily

Exactly. Usually people would let it ring 6 times before hanging up and if you missed it, you would wonder all day about who called, because we didn't have answering machines back then. I didn't worry because I just looked at caller ID.

You had caller ID in 1985?

 

[BoilersRock]

You had caller ID in 1985?

It was just becoming a thing right around then. You could buy a phone with an ID display built into it, or just a separate display to sit alongside your desk phone.

Good point.We actually had some privacy in those days.

Sorry, I just got back on. This was meant as my dry humor. We had no idea back then who called us. I thought caller ID came well after the answering machines.
