Stlboiler23 Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 8 hours ago, IU Scott said: I agree that Purdue doesn't move the needle nationally and that is why you don't see Purdue getting the marquee matchup. Even when IU is not supposed to be good they still sy the top teams lime Duke and UNC. Agree to disagree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That last sentence always makes me laugh. Don’t think it’s even remotely accurate and I always get a kick out of it. Your average person might not know (which is common for schools that aren’t named after the state) but sports fans I’m guessing the majority know where Purdue is. I can confirm that many people outside of Indiana don't know where Purdue is. I graduated from there and now live in Arizona. It's not uncommon for people to say right after finding out that I went there to ask where it's located. On the flip side, another comment/question that I've gotten quite a few times is people thinking it's Ivy League or that level as far as academics. So nationally it does have a good academic reputation from what I've seen. Other IU fans on message boards don't want to believe this just like you don't want to believe that people don't know which state it's in. I don't want to say either one is a majority of people but I will say that it's not a tiny minority, either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two years ago we had #5 UVA in the challenge. Three years ago we had #15 Florida State. Four years ago we had #17 Louisville Five years ago we had #14 Louisville We had Duke when they were #4 back in 2008. I get we’re not the best tv ratings but we usually get pretty good matchups and a good chunk of the time it’s against ranked teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that you are a regular member of the board and are always civil even when some aren't toward you. But coming to an IU forum, and arguing for Purdue in any capacity and then asking the "enemy" fan board to provide reason why they don't think their rival is a national contender is kind of like banging your head against the wall and then asking the wall to prove it didn't give you the headache. Or some other analogy that makes more sense. Same with the Illinoise fan who wants to argue with IUFLA and then wonder why it gets testy. You're both the odd men out in the room regardless of of where you live or how you feel about IU or basketball in general. You're teams are not really well like or loved by IU fans. I could care less myself, but i remember being much more passionate about it when i was younger 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
