Yes... we chant it even when IU wins... But are you really making the argument it's a bad chant because it's unique to Purdue...??? That we didn't steal it from some one else.p? But seriously, the best reason for chanting it is simply because it's true and you all hate it so much....lol! IU SUCKS!!!
Trace Jackson-Davis watched the carnage for one. I'm sure he was impressed with the Loosier's play and Archie's coaching.
Don't be so sure. I'm a Purdue fan who also thinks it's moronic and I'm not the only one. What can you do though? It's not as if our silence can drown out those that choose to do it.
OK. Just find it weird that a program that has consistently lived in the shadow of IU basketball thinks this.
BTW, I don't hate it. Doesn't bother me. I just think its stupid. And for many reasons.
I doubt that game decides where he goes. After all, he did see the Duke game as well. And for the record, TJD loves Indiana. You know this. I know this. I seriously doubt this game changes that.
I think it's more likely that you guys play one of your better games of the season, give us all we can handle, and have opportunities to win the game. My hope is that Morgan has trouble shooting over Haas and Haarms but that will only work if our big men don't get into foul trouble which is always a concern in Big Ten road games.
He loves winning. His father loves Purdue and supposedly his mother does as well.
I don't think TJD goes to IU - it will be Purdue or MSU, or some other school that comes out of the woodwork, like Duke.
Again, why? Do you guys really think these games have that big of an effect? He saw the Duke game as well. Do you think the Duke game had an influence?
I mean shit, Anderson was all but yours. Archie gets the IU job. Remnd me whee he signed? Same with RP? He's in your backyard, dude. Remind me where he signed.
Midnight madness stuff, bad games, etc, etc...don't have the influence you think. Not even close.
Wrong. You really need to get out more. Other schools have been doing this for years. For example, Pitt had been doing the P-E-N-N-S-T SUCKS cheer every game no matter who they play for many years, much longer than Purdue.
Plus a fan of a team that wears candy stripe warmup pants has no room to call anything stupid.
Could be. But I know his realtinship with Miller is very, very good. And IU's going to win. Tough year this year. He's a junior. Lets see how things hsake out next year when Archie has a year under his belt, his guys and the Crean holdovers such as Newkirk and Johnson are gone.
IMO, IU or Purdue would be a terrific choice for him. I thnk he would thrive in Archie's sytem.
Revisionist Basketball.....Recount that wins and losses record if you would please....Certainly the chant doesn't bother you...which is why you brought it up and continue the discussion. Just not going to win this one..especially on this Board.
Yeah, and I forgot---It's "Purdue". That wasn't my point. Look at how many kids have went to BBM. Look how many of those didn't got to UK. Look at how many of those kids have seen the FF's, title and NBA picks. Look at how many didn't go there. Same with any school----including IU. This isn't the 1980's anymore. Kids are going to school moreso for the coach, opposed to the school. 99% of the time, that's exactly what it boils down to. TJD going to IU will have nothing to do, well some maybe, with it being :IU. It will be more onhow he feels IU will use him. How he feels about Archie. Same anyhwere. I mean do you think kids like Fox, Davis, MKG, etc, etc....were flocking to UK because its "UK---or because of Cal?
It doesn't bother me. Why would it? It's stupid. I get it though. But bother me? Nooooooo. It'scomical really.
Have to disagree. Archie had a clean slate at IU and could sell anything he wanted to 2018's and there was no evidence to dispute anything he said. After the honeymoon period is over and he starts coaching games, results start to matter. And correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't IU lose the Duke game also? I wouldn't want my big impression for a recruit of that caliber to be a loss. I believe TJD probably favors IU and I'm not sure they will lose him to Purdue if that's true but I wouldn't be surprised to see him opt for MSU or a blue blood like Duke if offered if Archie can't leave a better impression on him before he decides.
Do you not feel kids understand the circumstances surronding a coach? YOu don't think these kids see this? I do. I think they look at wins and losses. But I also think they consider more on how they will be used. How they relate. Wins and losses are important. And yeah, IU lost to Duke. A team with probably 5 future 1st round picks. And Archie took that team to the wire with what----Maybe a second rounder or two, an average at best PG, a handfull of freshman,andno one that coudl shoot. I mean, I'd call that coaching.
Take Langford for example. He said the most important thimg for him was to be able to compete for a title. Ok. Then why in the hell is Vanderbilt on his list of three? I will tell ya why---The coach. His style. How he see'shimself being used.
What about this post is made up? When comapred historically, there is no comparison. When national pundits speak of CBB royalty, when is Purdue ever mentioned? Opposed to how IU is. I understand Indiana has been in a funk for 20 plus years. But even then, Indiana has still been just as relevant. More NCAAT wins, appearances, titles, FF's, SW16's and Elite 8's. Won two of the past 4 Big 10 titles. Went to more Sw16's under Crean, ten you guys have been to since 1998. IU's last FF was 2002. Purdue's 1980.
So please tell what part is made up?
ANyways, theis thread is headed south. So time to bow out. Good luck this year fellas. You guys have a heck of a team.
Phinisee was never going to Purdue. If Archie hadn’t targeted him, I’m guessing he would’ve ended up at UVA or maybe Butler.
The list of teams that have taken Duke to the limit this year is growing and isn't exactly an impressive group. I don't think IU giving them a decent game at home offsets getting blown out by Indiana State and IPFW. I'd objectively have some serious questions about Archie if I were an elite recruit with options. Certainly more questions than going to a Kansas, Duke, or even a Michigan State. As slimy as Izzo is, if my goal is to win in March he has proven he can do that.
LOL! This guy just put IU in the same sentence as Duke, UNC, and UK. Just another delusional Monroe County resident who has to regularly air up the tires on his house.
It seems as if teams who must live or die by the three such as the Sycamores and the Mastadons go nuts if you let them get started. IU definitely lets them get started.Wasn't him that really hurt us. It was Harell. Came in averaging 12. Scored 28 on 6-10 three's. Scott was great. But Harell's performance was a head scratcher. Came in shooting 32% from three----shot 60% tonight.
Just unreal....At one point they hit 14 of 15 three's.
The why is likely the appalling lack of interior depth. You can’t run shooters off the arc if you can’t absorb a few fouls inside.
Or, maybe the Hoosier guards just suck.
Agree that seeing one bad game is not an issue. If it continues past this year it will be but not yet.
As far as Phinisee goes, who was he going to replace at the point at Purdue? Carsen, Nojel...then later a possible battle with Isaiah (if he chooses Purdue).
Based on what we are seeing at IU, he could start now and be a big upgrade. I think he will be very good and he will be the man day 1 at IU.
Anderson. Yep, Archie got us on that one. Even with Hunter we could use a good wing.
The fact that the “IU SUCKS!” Cheer has your panties in such a twist validates that’s it’s a great cheer and is now part of the Mackey experience forever.
You should check into the background of the chant. There is a reason the students do it and it really has very little to do with IU.
LOL. Like I said in another post, you need to get out more. I live outside of the state of Indiana and never hear about iu unless I'm tuning into BTN or visiting this board. Whenever I listen to or read national coverage, they only talk about Purdue and MSU because they are the ranked BIG teams and the top of the BIG. You can make stuff up about living in shadows but ius tourney success was many decades ago and has long since faded. Don't believe everything your iu buddies spin to make iu better than Purdue, because they simple are not. In fact, they suck, so get used to it.
This is a very good thing for us and shows how far our program has come and iu's has fallen. Phinisee is a good player who as you said will be a starter from day one at iu but not here. For us that is a good and different problem to have.
I do fully expect for Phinisee to play his best against us, kind of like how Bryson Scott does against iu.
You know, I've sat out your previous banter with other posters. And, I'll tell you straight up, I respect someone who can come to a rival's board and talk basketball. I've done that on the IU forums at different times, and the key is to know when to banter, how to do it respectfully, and when to shut up. For the most part you do okay, but you also go over the top from time to time and don't know when to just throw in the towel and say, "hey, guys, it's been real". This is one of those times.
I've lived and worked all over Indiana and Ohio, and I can say without a doubt, IU fans are (as a whole) without question the most obnoxious fans I've been around. And, without good reason. Ohio State fans? Sure, they can be, but I've never seen it to the level of IU fans. I work with a guy that cannot even see a Purdue jacket without a condescending smirk and accompanying "harrumph". I've had people I thought were friends deface my belongings, solely because something had "Purdue" on it. They were IU fans. They're not friends anymore.
I've had IU fans lecture me that fans from all programs do that. I disagree. Yes, there are exceptions in every crowd, but as a group IU fans can be obnoxious, lacking maturity, and generally unaware of the significant shortcomings of their program. (I have more I could add, like the moronic IU fans at a recent bucket game.) So, it warms my heart and brings a grin to my face when Purdue fans at a Purdue game chant "IU sucks".
Especially knowing it annoys them so.
That sweet sixteen remark isn’t even close to being true. Crean went to 3 and Painter has been to 3. We have had 6 appearances since 1998 btw, twice what Crean was able to do. Why would you want to make up stuff like this? If you’re that upset over a game, perhaps some time away from the keyboard??
Fabricating things to make themselves feel better is the iu way. Kind of like how they somehow think they are elite when they can't even get past IPFW.
Guards completely suck.... in the long run this is totally still the right decision for Indiana. Crean had to go, my god can you imagine him coaching this team??? Miller will be fine once he gets his players installed in his system. Going to take a couple years.
As much as it hurts to say it IU needs to be strong it's good for the state and the conference. With that said enjoy every minute of it while we can lol
