Long rant, but can we talk about how hateable Purdue is?

So apparently IU coach Tom Crean got fired.

Listen, I’m pissed as any Hoosier fan that he couldn’t get out of the sweet 16, not making the tournament for the first time in 3 years is a shitty reason to pull the plug on the guy. whatever. what’s interesting is the jeering from the lafayette faithful that makes no god damned sense.

Purdue people want to push this weird paradoxical narrative that IU is simultaneous overrated and underachieving. Overrated because their five tournament victories (Tied for 3rd most all time) happened so long ago they don’t count, underrated because they don’t make the final four on a yearly basis.

this is purdue we’re talking about: they’ve literally never won a tournament. Never. they also haven’t made a final four appearance since John Lennon was alive.

That’s the real point of tonight: fuck purdue. i hope they lose to vermont.

that description is too good for them. Also, lets rip apart what historical accolades they do have:

1. Neil Armstrong? He got his masters from USC

2. Drew Brees? He’s from texas. He wanted to go to texas AM, probably hasn’t stepped foot on campus since he left, and Purdue has thought of themselves as a qb school ever since. Kyle orton sucked, and so did curtis painter.

3. Those other purdue qbs? Len Dawson and Bob Griese are the two guys you forget when you take a quiz of hall of fame qbs. Dan fouts was better than both those guys, except he didn’t have the luxury of playing when football was still 80% running the ball. Neither of them could play in the league today. Antwaan Randle-el was a better qb than either of them, and he had to play receiver to have a shot at the nfl.

Boilermaker is a stupid nickname. Hoosier is synonymous with its state, foreign students from china know what a hoosier is. they have to have what a boilermaker is explained to them in great detail

Purdue also boasts of its football supiority over iu, but never won any titles in that sport either.

when i was attending IU, social interactions went to this formula, without fail: friends come from purdue to IU, or I just didn’t see them that weekend. IU was an awesome party school, and those meatheads invaded every weekend, I never once went to purdue, never needed to, they always came to me.

also purdue is much more of a sausage fest. women in engineering? they exist, but so do great white buffalo.
