MoyeCowbell Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 I might be on an island, but I actually despise Wisconsin a lot more than Purdue. UK is still disgusting -- I just wished we played destroyed them on a regular basis. 5 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. The amount of UK personalized plates I see in the New Albany area probably outpaces IU ones. I’d personally like to see them out law Indiana Plates with references to out of state schools, lol. That, and getting rid of daylight savings time would be bipartisan issues we could all get behind!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kentucky started gaining young fans in Indiana in the mid 1990's when they started winning again and became cool. This happened as Indiana fell off a cliff after 1994 and became a dying program. Even South Indianapolis is full of them. It's like Patton said: 'America loves a winner and will not tolerate a loser'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev_AK Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Actually, Kentucky fandom in the Hoosier state goes back alot further than that. Several Mr Basketball’s from the state went to play there, and I know this is a partial list. Kyle Macy, Jim Master, and Roger Harden were a few, and other notable in-state players who played at UK rather than for Coach RMK, that I can think of, include Walter McCarty, James Blackmon, and more recently “Ketchup” guy, and I’m sure many more. This really stoked the rivalry in the late 70’s/ early 80’s, and cheering for UK grew on a lot of Hoosiers during that time. They are one of the winningest programs of all time, so it makes sense. Anecdotally, members of my own family became fans of UK when Adolph Rupp took a “stand” against desegregating teams in the mid 60’s. This made me hate them even more, ( if possible) but, as I said, that is opinion an based on things I heard in my own family and may be a bit of a stretch, although Rupp’s racism is documented.

I can faintly remember the end of the Knight era, but nothing before then. Totally agree on everything else. The whole, sordid story...

bronkonagurski Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 My least favorite memories from the mid-90's is when our 50 game home court winning streak ended and what felt like a parade of different Big Ten teams started beating us in Assembly Hall and disgracing our court. Porter Roberts punting the ball off our scoreboard, Ohio State dancing on our logo, etc. Blech. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Turtle Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 We lost a Classic. Unthinkable. We lost to Indiana state at home. We lost to Butler, before they became a good program. Pepperdine destroying us and laughing at our guys while they were on the team bus. The program really fell off a cliff after the 92-94 seasons.

Seeking6 Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 Something to keep an eye on this week for Purdue. They are 3-14 over the past few years when Courtney Green officiates their games. Only ref I found where Purdue has a losing record. Guess who just happens to be in the ref pool this week in Philly? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
