See, that’s where my situation makes me more conflicted. If she were just a fan/alum, my loyalty to IU wouldn’t waver. Any year in the future, same deal. But for anyone that’s involved/connected to a D1 basketball program, who wouldn’t want to experience a Final Four their senior year? That’s literally a once in a lifetime experience.

For any Purdue fan under 43 it's currently a none in a lifetime experience 🙂 Just remember when they blow it, and they will, suppress the carnival going on inside of you 😉 Edited March 30 by IUFLA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head-to-head record over a small timeframe doesn’t mean much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BAHoosier Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 Living down here in Evansville, we were the host for the Division II Championship, although not sure why as we no longer have a Div. II team since USI moved up to D1. But anyways, the Championship game was on CBS and Montana State won on a 3 pointer at the last second 88-85. Montana State must have an awesome BBall program as I see where their Ladies team also won a national championship as well! WOW!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fort Wayne hosted the Div III event, won by Trine. And definitely sounds like two good programs at Montana State. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got several friends with Purdue connections either via diploma or fan, my nephew just graduated from Purdue, and I’ll be happy for them, Matt Painter, and the Purdue fans who join us here. It’s such an exhilarating and exciting experience to win the national championship even from a fan perspective. So if Purdue does indeed win this year, get tickets to the Final Four - do whatever you have to do to go, and just enjoy and soak it in!! No way did I think it would be almost 40 years before IU’s next championship. No way. Enjoy it in the moment! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 (edited) 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.

Evansville isn't a bad location either, although I have mercy on anyone's souls who stayed on the East side.

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$$. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
