Nothing ridiculous about this poll. It's a Purdue Basketball message board.You forgot two options:
- Tacos
- This poll is ridiculous
I chose Tacos... of course.

I make the best wet blanket. Not saying it can't or won't happen.Lol. Thanks.
almost always take the field...course that was before NILI make the best wet blanket. Not saying it can't or won't happen.
Not enough history to know the effects of NIL and by its very nature it will always be about individual talent versus team play with less talent most likely...and that gap width will play heavily into the future results I suspect. Miami I thought made the FF Pack's first year, but I could be mistaken...I do not believe Nil has really made any difference when it comes to championships. The NIL gives advantages to teams, but has not delivered any championships! Look at Texas A&M and Texas! The NIL brought them more wins, but not championships. Look at the Dallas Cowboys and Lakers and Yankees! How many championships have they won lately? Look at OSU and Alabama!
I believe NIL has created more wins for certain teams. And teams that don’t spend money have absolutely no chance. But those teams never had a chance even before the NIL.
Ask yourself, Were Purdue’s chances of winning a championship better now or before the NIL was legalized? I would say Purdue’s chances are better now than they were before the NIL.
People talk a lot about the NIL. It’s odd, Purdue did a lot better than Miami did with Pack and all the money they spent.
UConn doesn't win their second championship without NILI do not believe Nil has really made any difference when it comes to championships.

I did.Purdue will a national championship when the Brewers win the World Series. It could happen next year. They have the talent to do so. They could get lucky. Injuries are a factor. Money is also a factor. Their fan base is awesome. And they enjoy the same respect. People respect the Brewers as being a good team and competitive team, but nobody believes they will ever win the World Series. It could happen. The same things I just identified also apply to Purdue. It could happen but nobody other than Purdue fans would expect it, predict it or place huge amounts of money on it to happen .
Did anyone predict that the women’s basketball team would win a national championship before it happened?

Uh it did buy Miami a championship with pack last year. Lol. Remy Martin got a big deal to go to Kansas the year before and was key in them winning. And UConn and Purdue were huge benefitters of NIL last year. Edey would have left if Purdue didn’t get the nil package for him (and don’t argue with me he wouldn’t he said his final game of 2023 it was going to be about the $) and tristen Newton came back his last year for $. It’s not just recruiting but also retaining guys who would in past years leave for the pros.I do not believe Nil has really made any difference when it comes to championships.

Disagree. Losing to a 16 seed in 2023 got us a bad rap but I think Purdue has a much higher respect than milwaukee does. Purdue basketball under Keady and Painter has been legendary and having 3-4 year perennial studs like Big Dog, carsen, Edey, Hummel, etc gives us national recognition. Plus we are in the tourney almost every year and generally picked to do well.Purdue will a national championship when the Brewers win the World Series. It could happen next year.

You could be right. This poll says at least 20 Purdue fans think 2026 is our Natty.The overwhelming odds are that Purdue will not win a National Championship in the next 20 years.
Agree. It's not mutually exclusive. The fact that the odds are against us winning a NC in the next twenty years (or 2 years) doesn't mean that we won't. Fingers crossed.You could be right. This poll says at least 20 Purdue fans think 2026 is our Natty.
They could be right. I can see it because we will have improved guards, guard depth,
and guard experience in the coming years. Time will tell, but I like our chances in 2026.
It’s lining up nicely for 2026 IF all players are back and buy in (would be nice if a piece like Haralson decided to join). And then a route of St. Louis->chicago->Indy is very favorable (and possible) route too.You could be right. This poll says at least 20 Purdue fans think 2026 is our Natty.

Too many variables for next season. Might as well just go Cleveland / Indy / San Antonio this season.It’s lining up nicely for 2026 IF all players are back and buy in (would be nice if a piece like Haralson decided to join).

Make that at least 22 Purdue fans for 2026.Agree. It's not mutually exclusive. The fact that the odds are against us winning a NC in the next twenty years (or 2 years) doesn't mean that we won't. Fingers crossed.
Remind me again why you’re on this message board and not IU’s?Never.
I'm already on an IU board. No reason to go to another.Remind me again why you’re on this message board and not IU’s?
Oh ok.I'm already on an IU board. No reason to go to another.
Is there a law saying I have to be a Purdue fan?Oh ok.
So let me rephrase it for you….why are you on this one if you aren’t a fan of Purdue basketball?
Nah..just curious since you go out of your way to act pretentious and make sure to leave a back handed compliment on a lot of replies about Purdue.Is there a law saying I have to be a Purdue fan?
Lol. I'm probably the most unbiased Indiana fan you've ever met in your entire life.Nah..just curious since you go out of your way to act pretentious and make sure to leave a back handed compliment on a lot of replies about Purdue.
All good though. Carry on in your ways.
We've heard that a few hundred times. But that doesn't mean you can't really be that 1.Lol. I'm probably the most unbiased Indiana fan you've ever met in your entire life.
Absolutely. The question every year has been when we lose AJ, Biggie, Vince, Carsen, Jayden, etc. does the program continue to move forward or take a step back? It will be fun to see how it shakes out.It will be interesting to see if the championship level window will stay open without Zach? I have no doubt Painter will keep Purdue near the top of the B1G perennialy, but being at a title contender again has some big unanswered questions.
IF Braden can be an alpha PG, I think there is a world Purude is still a top 10 team and will have a shot to make a Final 4 run in March the next 2 years. I am biased and think he can, but understand we also need to see him be the main guy at this level. Also, TKR/Heide/Colvin all need to take big jumps and Jacobson/Harris/Cox need to be instant impact Freshman too.
Serious question then, what have your expectations been heading into the last eight seasons since Crean last won the Big Ten and made it to the Sweet Sixteen?Lol. I'm probably the most unbiased Indiana fan you've ever met in your entire life.
You obsess over Purdue more than most Purdue fans.Is there a law saying I have to be a Purdue fan?
I've only expected to win the B1G once and that was 2023. Finished 2nd. Outside of that... Not a lot of optimism.Serious question then, what have your expectations been heading into the last eight seasons since Crean last won the Big Ten and made it to the Sweet Sixteen?
That group from 2-8 was separated by 1 loss. Had IU lost that game where they barely beat the Minnesota intramural B team at Minnesota, they would have finished in the 6th-8th range in 2023.I've only expected to win the B1G once and that was 2023.

That said, the Boilers inability to take care of business in their two games with Indinia, probably had the most to do with IU finishing 2nd.That group from 2-8 was separated by 1 loss.

Yeah northwestern, Penn state and Iowa did their parts…they all swept IU.That said, the Boilers inability to take care of business in their two games with Indinia, probably had the most to do with IU finishing 2nd.
