  • ITH takes a jab at Purdue.
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

I thinking bragging about past success that has zero relevance to the immediate future is stupid in any way shape or form, whether its B10 championships, wins against an opponent, etc.

But that was a luncheon that's intent was to get people excited about the basketball season. Who really cares what was being said there?
I'll take the opposite stance and say that I think it is completely appropriate for a school to embrace their history. Purdue has more Big Ten championships than any other school. That's impressive. Why would an athletic director not mention that at a fundraiser or anywhere else for that matter? So they've never won the big one. Whoopie. Every school is going to harp on what makes them look good. It would be a disservice to the athletes that came before to not acknowledge the great contributions they made to the University simply because it doesn't have an immediate effect in the future.
Bringing up the conference titles is fine...but then taking a jab at the school down south whom has an obvious slam dunk rebuttal to the statement is just setting yourself up.
We rarely take potshots at Kentucky. ;)

"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

ummm...because Purdue has won more big ten titles than Kentucky? Don't see where you're headed with that one.

C'mon, eel, you can give a better put downs than that. If I didn't know better, I would think that Morgan Burke was posting from your account.

Absolutely correct.

The same kind of people that get excited about that are the ones who get excited by GBI blurbs that preach to the choir.
lol

Back to the GBI talk on this one? What will it be next, that I'm a Cubs fan or the free throws talk?
“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves."

Every chance I get. I hate Kensucky a hell of a lot more than I hate Purdue. I hate them even more now that Calipricky aka "The Cheater" is their coach.

i agree with dcam on this one. at a fundraiser (which is supposed to be closed doors, purdue donors only), you say things that gets people to donate big time $$. To accomplish this do you say, "hey, we're the second most successful program in the state.", or do you say, "hey, we have more big ten championships than the so-called best program in the state."? In my opinion, it's just like when IU football bragged (inwardly and outwardly) to donors about how they won the bucket game; while, if you looked at the big picture, there was really no comparison between the two programs.
