Even if it did, in recent years UCLA and Oregon have made the Final Four and Arizona has been to several Elite 8's. But again, I see zero benefit to IU's direct competitors making the Final Four or winning a title. I'd be perfectly fine with IU being the Kansas of the Big Ten. IU needs to take care of their own house, get back to prominence and who cares about the others! Just my opinion on the topic and I do understand where you're coming from as well. I'm not a conference honk at all. Maybe decades ago but every single school in our conference took their jabs, mocked us,etc....after Sampson and during first few years of Crean. I won't ever forgive or forget. Now if they do well cool...but I won't be cheering for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) I can't believe other IU fans don't have the seething hate for Purdue I have... Don't you remember Scott May's broken arm at the hands of the Boiler thugs that cheated us out of a title in 75? The hanky-panky in the mid 90s? The Haarms over the back on Juwan Morgan? The temerity of the Purdue commercial stating Indiana was their state? Maybe I shouldn't be too concerned with Purdue winning it's 5th overall NCAA championship of any kind, men's or women's, including cheerleading for Christsakes, but they're little brother, and I want them to stay little brother for all eternity... You see the way they wave the 1932 Helms banner around like it's a validation of basketball greatness...can you imagine a real, no shit, guaranteed not to tarnish championship? Their fans would make Kentucky's look like George Gobel! Nope...never 😉 Edited March 21, 2022 by IUFLA 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 5 hours ago, 5fouls said: The reality is that Purdue was always the team from the Big Ten most equipped to go deep in the tournament. To deny that is letting some bias creep into your judgment. Are they getting a break in the first game of the Sweet 16? Certainly. But, they took care of business in the first two rounds where other high seeds faltered. The Big Ten has been mediocre again in the tournament this year. 8 and 9 bid years are going to be a thing of the past with that type of performance. The worst thing that can happen to the conference right now is that somehow Purdue loses to St. Peters. I hope both Purdue and Michigan win next round. After that, I hope Purdue loses in Elite 8 and Michigan makes Final Four. In 2002 we got a few breaks to get to the final four since we had to beat the 12,13,1,10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very, very hard. A few years ago I did walk up to a co-worker who had the UK crap on her car and said "I just came from the parking lot and it looked like someone vandalized your car" After she panicked and settled down enough to ask me what was done to it, I told her that someone stuck a UK bumper sticker on it. She didn't laugh. 2 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
