Purdue picked to win Big Ten

[DwaynePurvis00]

Can’t guarantee any Purdue fan verbal attack safety during basketball games. Best to stay far away. I mean hell, them verbal attacks can be emotionally wounding!

Also, for this year’s Bucket game Cig won’t be guaranteeing the physical safety of the Purdue players. But at least the IU fans will be glad to see them and any Purdue fans that want to attend.

Will IU’s stadium finally be full of actual IU fans?

Ignore the past 125 years. We got this! 🥴

 

[Schmedly_Whiplash]

There's like 50 programs where that's the case. That's a pretty low bar. But doesn't answer the question whether Purdue has been better than Kentucky.

My lack of response showed that I don't give a rats arse whether anyone believes Purdue has been better than KY or not.

We're happy you loosiers finally have something to crow about. Even if it is football in a basketball state.
But hey, we get it. LOVE the one you're with!

Verbal attacks, meaning racial slurs, mocking special needs sisters of players, and calling a mom who is in the stands a c***. I guess that is OK with you?

I just read a report that 3 players were dismissed from IU's team for "verbal abuse".

lol-no. College students say stupid shite at every school, Mr. Piety.

And this is why IU is considered among the worst fanbases. "But everyone else does it!"

Well because they all do. 18-22 year olds are still very immature.

Okay.. then name a school where 18-22 year olds don’t say stupid stuff out loud.

West Point.

But more to the point, there is "saying stupid stuff" and then there are the things that come from the hilljacks at assembly mall.

They probably do at West Point too, but they get in a helluva lot more trouble for doing so.

No they still do.

 

[proudopete]

Pretty bad look for some IU fans in this thread. Probably should get your validation elsewhere.

 

[BBG]

No they still do.

No, they don't. Not even close to the garbage spewed at assembly mall.

They are literally justifying racism as "just stupid things kids say" when they forget that it's coming from the "adults" there too.

Now you speak for all IU fans?

 

[BoilerAndy]

Okay.. then name a school where 18-22 year olds don’t say stupid stuff out loud.

It's a different culture at IU. Most 18-22 year olds don't, en mass, chant the kinds of things I mentioned. They don't do it at Purdue. We have even had IU fans come here and blame it on the fact that many IU students come from east coast cities. Maybe. But the fact that you guys are excusing it shows that it goes deeper than this.

 

[BoilerAndy]

You are supporting my point. Because they get into trouble, they don't do it. It's a different culture. At IU, the culture is "everyone does it", even when they don't.

Yeah… those “Purdue sux” cheers that everyone does at every IU game, even when not playing Purdue are really offensi…. Ahhh, never mind.

 

[Katscratch]

No, they don't. Not even close to the garbage spewed at assembly mall.

This is really devolved into “I know you are but what am I” territory.

So I’ll leave it there and stay out of the fray starting… now.

How is that speaking for all IU fans? Are all IU 18-22 years old?

Yea apparently only college kids at IU say stuff lol. I couldn't imagine being that biased and naive.

 

[Bank Shot Podcast]

Anyways... Purdue was picked to win the Big Ten. So no one can act like Purdue(with the best player in the league) is an underdog going into the season.

 

[BoilerAndy]

Are saying that the IU sux yell is the same as mocking a special needs girl? Hmm. That is a perspective I hadn't considered.

But you are.

Unless you ask the resident Illinois fan.

Who is saying they’re an underdog? We expect them to 3 PETE

bRAd UNdeRWOoD tho has the most b1g wins in the last 4 years (but only 4 years, if you use any other years it’s Painter)

Underwood is a good coach. Illinois will definitely have a shot I think. Indiana, Purdue, Illinois,

He’s been to the second weekend once in his career. Let’s see if he can do it again. He should with that talent.

Yea but that's also the beauty of the NCAA Tourney right? Sometimes the unthinkable happens.

Underwood's last five years at IL have been impressive, at least in the regular season. Their team is so new that I have now idea what to make of them but yes, going into the season I'd expect them to be in the hunt in conference play.

 

[DwaynePurvis00]

Yes. As long as you make it

 

[Bank Shot Podcast]

Yes. As long as you make it

It is fun to watch either way.

 

[Chi-Boiler]

Maybe because the women’s games were an easier watch than the men’s.

Well Sydney Parrish is still there afterall.

 

[BoilerDaddy]

As Tom Cream once said, "It's Indiana." The brand is still there. That's why Indiana makes more money than basically every other program. Meaning the fan support is there as well. And when Indiana is good, Mackey can't touch Assembly Hall. Really nowhere else can outside of Phog Allen. Throw in the fact you get all that plus money... It's a pretty good deal. NIL should help Indiana get back to where it belongs. Haven't been in the top 10 nationally much the last decade outside of maybe a couple times but that's where they belong. And it'll be better for the B1G if/when they get back there. Is that this year? I don't know. Maybe, maybe not.

IU has a decent brand, but it is no where near what was 30 years ago. The big NIL donors are still there, however, and that is their biggest advantage.

Purdue’s brand has steadily been on the rise in the past decade and now is probably as strong as it’s ever been. The changing landscape of college basketball presents challenges to Painter’s more old school approach, but I love where the program sits right now.

We are starting to see the “brand” doesn’t have that much pull, even if NIL donors can bring $$$ to the table. Rumor is IU had the highest offer to Reibe, but he still went to UConn. Rumors of exact same thing goin to happen with Mullins.

UConn is a massive brand too, especially coming off back to back national championships. UConn is on the top of the world at the moment. I'm not going to blame any kid for going there. They've got something working right.

Yup. They have the coach, the development, the culture, and the recent winning of 5 nattys in the past 25 years. They have replaced IU in the blue blood discussion and kids have taken notice. Woody has been a damn good recruiter for UConn.

There's no 'too' there, IMO. IU has a good national brand but it's nowhere near UConn, Kansas, UNC, and Duke at this point.

Painter and Purdue have a great reputation at this point with people who 'know', but are still a tier below IU, MSU, UCLA, etc. in terms of overall 'brand'.
