I got a room and a bed with rails and straps for you if you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really might be surprising to a lot of people in this state how many people on the East coast, ACC land, the South, the left coast........that have no idea where Purdue, Butler, and even Notre Dame are located. Many know the state......but don't know the town/city. That makes sense. Id guess a decent number of people think ND is somewhere on the East coast.

I have no side in this discussion but this statement shows your bias- geographically and by focusing on 2 sports. Stanford has more national championships than any other college in the country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke, NC, UCLA, Michigan St., Kansas, Syracuse, Arizona, Louisville, etc. i'm saying people don't care about Purdouche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
