macomb hoosier Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 I think this is the best write-up of IU/PU that has been done. https://grantland.com/the-triangle/rivalry-indiana-purdue-big-ten-ncaa-basketball-bob-knight-gene-keady-tom-crean-matt-painter-isiah-thomas-glenn-robinson/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think though , we could both agree the B1G and college basketball is better when IU and PU are good at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most underrated coaches in America. But.... This has to be addressed behind the scenes. Kid is mad, ok....this one time. I would be very surprised if this doesn’t violate some rule about pressers with Purdue. That is not Purdue basketball. if a IU player did that.....good god there would be a 87 page thread here.

madmax Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Man, everyone needs a Xanax or something. It’s a lighthearted post making fun of Purdue. Who cares that they’ve owned us lately or that our season hasn’t gone the way we wanted it to? It’s a rivalry and it’s supposed to be fun. Never a good reason not to celebrate a Purdue loss. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCHoosier32 Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 two things give me joy. Hoosiers winning and Purdouche losing. i just don't understand how you can be an IU fan and not hate the Toiletmakers. it is always a good day when they lose.

Rev_AK Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Down on this side of the state, Kentucky is the more hated rival by far. Their recent successes ( 20 years or more) which also coincide with our long painful slide to irrelevance and mediocrity, and mostly the fact that they refuse to play us, would rekindle the fires of passions long lost if the selection committee ever puts us in the same bracket again. To me, it doesn’t matter if they beat us 99 times in a row, I would be just as hyped up to watch that hundreth chance. Just. To. See. Them. Lose. I imagine that’s what HTD feels for Purdue. Shame that there is a generation of Hoosiers that don’t know what the RCA Dome or Freedom Hall lookes like with that red/blue split right down the middle...sigh. But for context, until this IU team can get over the mountain, seeing the Boilers lose, even the “Cayuts” is just kinda meh. After all, we could all be back in the throes of misery if we have an 0-2 week. No better shape than the Boilers. Im praying for 2-0, hoping for 1-1. Until then, like taking an end zone selfie after a pick 6 when you’re down 3 touchdowns with 4 minutes to go, it’s not time to celebrate. Yet. Let’s go IU!!!!

The question is will? There's not that much talent there, but there's never any question they will be up for IU...wish IU could get up for Purdue just as much.

Am I correct in saying that since 1980 when Purdue last made a FF(Iowa was there as well) that 7 other B1G schools have made it. IU, Michigan, Sparty, tOSU, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. And 6 of those have made it multiple times since '80(Minnesota hasn't). Seems that not only the Boilers but the Hawks have been "hexed" as I don't count NW.

BEKA Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 I'm more apt to take delight in a Boilermaker loss when, you know, we can actually beat them for once. Until then, facts are facts - Painter owns Archie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 I will say this...Purdue is much closer to a Final Four at the current stage of the program then we are. They have a formula and blueprint for success. They have an identity and while I would say it’s a very long shot of them getting enough overall talent to win a NC we have seen time and time again in college basketball a couple hot shooting great guards can take you a long way in the tournament. Can IU win it all....of course...they have the ability to recruit at a very high level and gather enough talent to win it all for sure. I believe with the right mix of players Archie can take his team to the top. That said we are still pretty far off from making that run. I mean Purdue is just a year removed from an elite 8 and a bucket or two from the final four....we are more than 20 years removed from our last deep run.
