I loved the women’s run in the tourney, as well as Indiana State’s run in the NIT. i may feel differently as the game goes on. No promises on maintaining this cheerful excitement 😂😂 My consolation prize is that at least my gf will be in a good mood when she gets back. And as the modern-day philosopher Terry Bradshaw once said, "If mama ain't happy...ain't nobody happy". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maedhros Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 24 minutes ago, MrsStoller said: Genuinely excited for my Purdue friends. Seeing the posts from Purdue people on my Twitter feed, here in Indiana, it’s not hard for me to be excited for them. I think I don’t want the trophy back in Connecticut more than I don’t want Purdue to have it 😂. Bring the trophy back to Indiana! Seeing clips of fans in the streets after their Final Four win bright back my memories of being a student in '02, packing Kirkwood after each win. Incredible fun. I'm happy they got those moments. And I hope it ends exactly the same way, with a runner-up finish and tear gas sending everyone home. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I am rooting for Purdue is because I'm dating a Purdue cheerleader and want her to have that experience as her last game.

They won't get any worse if they win a 6th title. Purdue fans, on the other hand, will become obnoxious on another level if they win one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my answer is NO, HELL NO. All this (any) PU love is making my stomach hurt. OK, I don't really 'dislike' Painter, and Big Guy seems like a pretty nice kid, but come on, It's Purdue. We are not raised to root for each other, it's part of rival-ness. I don't like or care about UConn so if they win it means nothing to me other than PU losing. Oh, and I will win money in our Office pool, so there's that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdue IS Indiana basketball now. Remember when Kentucky raced past us in the mid nineties and never looked back? Purdue is now doing the same thing. What's even more sad is that, just like then, they don't care. Edited April 8 by Sea Turtle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU was the one and only IU because Coach Knight was captain and we were practically winning a National Championship every 4-6 years to get Knight his 3. Then the wheels fell off. lol Purddue will never be IU unless Painter goes on run similar or better that Knight’s. 🤓 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody under the age of 30 even remembers when IU had a great program. Now, the only time you here anybody talk about Indiana basketball is when other fanbases say 'we don't want to end up like Indiana basketball or Nebraska football.' But you're right. Knight was great until he wasn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
