Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Also, Cam, I hope you don't think that I was calling you out in particular last night. It was really the fanbase in general, but I just kind of directed it towards you because I knew that I would get a well thought out response. If you took offense to any of that, I apologize.

:cheers:


Hey, cheers to that Obatskii. I'm not DC (that you directed that at), but I hope you know that my post was the same way, directed at the fanbase in general and not anyone in particular. I can agree and drink/not argue with those sentiments all night long!

Those were dumb examples, but I'll let it be.  I get your point, even though I'm not sure if you could really understand the meaning being a Purdue fan.

I guess to each their own is correct.  I'm just not the type to run away from people and talk behind their backs.  In fact, I usually don't say anything disrespectful to anyone, just the way I am.  If i get fed up enough though, I'll just say it to you, and not go to another board and start a poll about it. 

Obviously, there are ignorant fans in every school.  There's no way around that.  I just don't think it's fair to generalize an entire population and act like that is how we all act based on a few bad nuts.

First, I don't think DC was in any way running off and starting something behind anyone's back. We (Purdue posters) take crap almost daily for constantly overrunning your half of the board and not keeping anything separate. So if people want to mark and defend "sides" of the board, then DC was just posting something that wasn't completely glorifying to IU (yes, such comments are occasionally spoken among mankind, even if they are so obviously the devil's words among us) on his half of the board with other like-minded people. That would just be respecting the board, Bri and Jaz, and keeping other posters off his back.




Well said Maker

obatskii. You are absolutely right about the generalizations. Most of us are guilty of it at some time or another. I always read your posts and they always seem to be well thought out and fair.

But with regard to the poll, are you saying you don't think the poll should have been started at all ? I don't think dc or any other reasonable PU fan would start it on your board. This board is the obvious place. We're always being told to" take it to your own board " or "This is an IU board ! " etc. So we bring it here and that's not OK either ?

You talk over on our board and are pleasant most of the time, and then you come back here and start threads and talk shit about our team


For me, I say things here I wouldn't say there 'cause I don't want to flame and start a bunch of shit over there and then get the inevitable "IU board" stuff. But I do like to stir it up over there sometimes as do others, most notably dc. You guys can come here and do the same thing. Posted Image

Actually the poll was just an example that I made. I have no problem with the poll itself. I really just came over here to read up on what you thought about your new recruit, and ended up "trolling" for a while. I just got irritated because some of you on the IU board are almost always respectful, and then I started reading that and was caught off base a little bit.

And I know it must be frustrating for you guys as well. Some of even the quality Purdue guys, such as yourself and cam, get told to leave and post on your own board. I kind of forgot about that last night. Anytime something is said that they don't like, it's always "Don't you have your own board?" I guess I'm glad you post negative things here for the most part so the board remains enjoyable for everyone.

Also, Cam, I hope you don't think that I was calling you out in particular last night. It was really the fanbase in general, but I just kind of directed it towards you because I knew that I would get a well thought out response. If you took offense to any of that, I apologize.

:cheers:

I knew you weren't calling me out in particular. As the statements I make about certain fans aren't directed at just you.

Its all good, I think you know I have your respect (at least I hope you do). As Purdue and IU fans, its in our nature to go back and forth I don't take offense to things, and I hope people don't take offense to what I say. I know that the way I say things comes across a little strong and that I'm a know it all because of the way I word things, but its usually just my opinion. Its in my personality to talk in absolutes because thats just how I am.

I hope some of that makes sense, it probably doesn't, but oh well. You and I are cool in my book. Any person that I can disagree with and hold a civil discussion without it turning stupid is a person I respect and like.

:cheers:

Had to pay the bills. Pick up a few shifts at a local bar that my family knows the owners of every now and again. Saturdays are usually busy with Little League and that.

But as Maker said, the increased posting here is great. I'm really planning on keeping it up, and I have some ideas about some weekly things to do. I like Maker's trivia thread, and I'm thinking about maybe putting together a weekly round-up/thoughts thing. I'll see what my creative juices can fire up.

Do they still have anybody who isn't going to be a freshmen or JUCO?

No, but they have five banners, and Crean is the best coach in the nation.
