  • Will You Root For Purdue In The NCAA's?
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

Take your lumps and before long it will be over.



Didn't Cubs' fans say the same thing 99 years ago?
Uh..wasn't alive then...don't know. Pads fans have been saying it for awhile.
Yeah, but we know how hard it is for a small market to compete. Chicago's small too, right? Well, I know the White Sox don't have the same kind of capital that the Cubs do, so it's no wonder they can't win a title.

Wait a minute....oops.
Yes, money wins championships. Thats why the Yankees spend the most money every year and win the title every year also..........

Oh wait...
So if we use the Cubs as a model, what does win championships?

The only Big Ten school I will not root for in the Tournament is Illinois. And let me tell you, that is what Illinois fans say about IU.

UI fans hate Wisky more. IU think is recent because of Gordon. So many kids here are from chicago and hate the packers, bucks, brewers its just embedded into them.

Look at any Illinois message board, they hate IU way more than UW. And IU-UI is not just a recent thing; it's been a rivalry for a long time (it just didn't really heat up until the '80s).

I have family that lives in the Chicago area and they are huge UI fans and, yes, they hate Wisky a lot ... but they say UI's biggest rivalry is definitely with IU and they hate us the most. You're just jealous because nobody hates you. :P

LoL well I go here... and my dad went here back in 81-84. Trust me the kids don't like IU buts that cause no one really does except the people who live in trailers from Indy down to Louisville. But Wisky is hated more, for example the Wisky UI football and basketball games sellout, not just the IU @ UI basketball games.

"Liberal, shmiberal. That should be a new word. Shmiberal: one who is assumed liberal, just because he's a professional whiner in the newspaper. If you'll read the subtext for many of those old strips, you'll find the heart of an old-fashioned Libertarian. And I'd be a Libertarian, if they weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners." - Berkeley Breathed

No.
It's Purdue. Need i say more.

Ok i guess i will say more. I don't really get into the whole "my conference is better than your conference argument. I love IU, I don't care less about the big 11. Bottom line is I don't like Purdue, so i won't root for them, no matter who they play and from what conference. Just like I won't root for Kentucky even though I root for arkansas and live in an SEC state. I don't like them, so i want to see them get beat every time they take the floor. If Kentucky were to play Purdue I would laugh at every missed shot and hope that somehow the game ended in a 50-50 tie.

God no, I want them to lose by some freak circumstance (like a last second half court shot) in the first round.
If you really hated Purdue you would want us to get beat in the elite 8 by some half-court shot after we had led by 15 with 5 min to go. That would kill just about every Purdue fan.
