Yeah I distinctly recall being told last year when IU was ranked about 7th that rankings don't mean anything in January and February. |

Thats the goal, but do you consider it logical to expect that coming from 7 and 9 win seasons? Its a process, doesn't happen overnight. And do you not see that as a realistic possibility for Purdue in the next few seasons? I'm sure I know the answer, but its there. I guess at Purdue we are logical and actually have realistic expectations. If thats what you are going to put on Crean, |

And I distinctly remember thinking that team was going to fall apart. |

I think that line might sum up Purdue Basketball. You have to expect to win before you can ever win championships. |

You do know that fan expectations have absolutely nothing to do with winning a championship? You don't control your team, you don't make them win. The team expects to win, but I'm not going to be pissed off if my team plays hard and goes 25-7 with a young team and wins a tournament game. Thats a positive step. |

Best post out of all the crap posts I have read on here tonight Mongo. Everyone on here knew that IU would be bad this year. We accept it, but do we have to take this crap from all the Purdue fans? If they actually do something in the tourney this year, I will be the first to congratulate them, but until then, just shut up about it. And let us look forward to next year and talk about the new recruits, what else do we have right now!! :banghead: |

I've yet to see a Final Four lock and National Title type prediction out of anyone regarding Purdue, and thats the stuff I doubted about people predicting last year. I thought IU's team last year was a second weekend team in December and parts of January, but also thought disaster was looming. It also didn't help that you were being led by a known cheater. If Purdue doesn't make the second weekend, you would be right, they'd just be a good team. I'm really not sure where IU is going to be in Crean's third season. It all depends on how next year's recruiting class turns out. Does it come out like Purdue's class last year, or does it come out like OSU's, Florida's, or Syracuse's class last year? Its a complete unknown, and its hard for me to predict where IU is with that many unknowns. |
