Selfishly starting a new thread for this: Seniors should be called 'The Four Score'

[JohnnyDoeBoiler]

This group of seniors is sorely lacking an awesome nickname and after brainstorming a bit, I came up with a totally awesome name that has historical and Boiler background to it.

Purdue's last trip to a Final Four was in 1980. Purdue's only NC came in 1931.

Lincoln's Gettysburg address started off saying 'Four Score and Seven years ago.' That comes out to 87 years while four score is actually 80 years.

2018 minus 87 is 1931...the last time Purdue won a NC.
Four Score references 1980 as being the last time Purdue made a FF.

This group of seniors needs to be named 'The Four Score'.

Selfishly made a new thread but thought this name totally fits the guys while also having a ton of weird coincidences to the past of the program.

That is creative, but I'm gonna pass on anything that draws attention to an 87 year drought.

Very creative, but the NC was in 1932, Wooden's senior year.

love the creativity

but take this nickname only if we win the National Title

If we don't win the National Title - then its just reminding us how long the drought has been without even breaking it
