    “Heavy sigh. Anxiety. Anger mixed with inner turmoil!”

    As an IU fan, yeah, this blows.

    NGL, personally, I’m thrilled my girlfriend gets to cheer at a Final Four game. 
     

    I’mma shut up now before I get tarred and feathered. 

    First off many congrats to your girlfriend getting to attend and cheer for her team at the final four. That will be an experience of a lifetime. Secondly, I'm enjoying that most of America is beginning to dislike Edey as much as the rest of the big ten does. Having Purdue achieve success while being loathed by the average American is the most Purdue thing ever. Does it blow...kind of...but let's not act like we didn't see this coming.

    I think UConn is the only team left in the tournament that can beat Purdue…and even then it’s going to depend how the refs call it. Tennessee has nothing for them they’ve already shown that this year and Duke Nc St don’t have the size.  Hard to decide who to root for. UConn who is replacing us as a blue blood or Purdue who will make this board insufferable. I have to say probably Purdue though…that should be the slap in the face the university needs to wake up and right the ship and stop allowing them to own the state and our players.

    Tennessee does play like Wisconsin and Northwestern on steroids. Chances are Tenessee won't win but they have fighters chance with their defense and style of play.

    Curious if you could expand on the “typically have a huge chip on their shoulders and live in an alternate reality” comment.  I think myself and my friends that are Purdue fans always expect the worst and are usually pretty level-headed but maybe you’ve had different experiences. 

    Can't speak for @BobSaccamanno but from personal experience a lot of my friends who went to Purdue aren't very level headed. I remember in college many of my friends who attended Purdue became chronic liars. They would say things like "this party will be awesome",  "no, it won't be a sausage party", "Lafayette is the Paris of Indiana", "Gene Keady's haircut is awesome", "Purdue Pete isn't creepy" and "we promise not to milk cows on Saturday night." Purdue turned many great New Albany High School graduates into awful people.

    Matt Painter is an admirable guy who plays a helluva style of basketball and runs an outstanding system for COLLEGE basketball.   Sadly we once took Todd Leary over Painter as a player.

    The difference between IU and PU is that we are far more realistic in our assessments.  PU fans typically have a huge chip on their shoulders and live in an alternate reality.   The amount of post hoc rationalizations that come out of them is astounding.   Whereas IU fans will give a far more realistic assessment whether it hurts to say or not.   

    When IU is good and Purdue isn’t, the amount of total BS that comes out of that place is loathsome.  

    I have no issue giving a team credit where credit is due and I've given that to Purdue. With that said I will talk 100% unadulterated crap about Purdue until the day I die and they bury me face down so my critics can kiss my a$$.
