Negative. I predicted a BM win just to ruffle some tassles but would be very surprised if Purdue won. I didn’t bet on them.
Purdue fan commentary
- Thread starter bonefish1
- Start date
You sound EXACTLY like the old iu basketball fans, stuck in the 80’s and the Bobby Knight era.
NU is not a blue blood, You’re not even a first tier B10 team. You’re in the second tier with the rest of the conference below UM, OSU, PSU, USC and OR.
I think Purdue still has the most Super Bowl winning QBs, but fact check me on that.
Neil Armstrong and John Wooden are pretty well respected.
It’s true dude as much as you don’t want to believe it. Right now we are in the second tier competition wise but not rating and not support. There is no world where our football brand does not afford us a seat at the table with the power 2 conferences.
Oddly you defending Purdue’s seat who has accomplished literally jack crap their entire history and saying Nebraska would be relegated to the depths of unknowns is laughable.
Purdue fans are pompous for literally no reason. Your “I can’t see through my final four banner” - it’s so different and speaks to your mindset - our 5 national championship trophies dont share space with our runner-up trophies and top 4 in the polls trophies.
Congrats on losing the championship - enjoy your final four shirts - Iowa of basketball.
Selling out your home games because there’s literally nothing else to do in Nebraska on a Saturday is not some big accomplishment.
It’s either go to the game or sit on the front stoop and whittle a stick.
That was my reaction too. They don’t want that. But then again, they don’t want to force Nebraska to run either. I’m staying away betting wise from this game because it seems like -10.5 is too low. Nebraska SHOULD roll.
I agree. Purdue couldn’t care less about football. It’s why fans want to hire a winning coach and show up to support the football program when there is a chance of them being good. See a sold out Indiana state game off a 4-8 season for details. Not sure how the stadium is awful. It’s not perfect, but they are working on renovations.
Purdue also has one of the better basketball programs in the big ten and has consistently been a top 10 team the last few years with no sign of slowing down in sight. Maybe the big ten should keep up with Purdue in basketball?
Women’s basketball was the last big ten team to win a natty. Then versyp destroyed the program.
Are you asking for football only or in general? Cradle of QB’s in general is pretty good. Most NFL starts of any college at QB.
I’d rather he throw than Nebraska run tbh. Get some pressure on him and let the DB’s cook. Hopefully they are as good as I think they are. I’m staying away from this game from a gambling perspective as well. Other than maybe a Mock TD. Maybe a Max Klare TD?
It’s a weird argument in general. Someone went to my college 70 years ago did something great? Who cares?
That's it? Your reading comprehension is pretty bad, as The Grapes of Wrath is set in ... Oklahoma. History lesson: while Nebraska was certainly affected by the record heat, lack of rain and subsequent crop failures of the 1930s, we came out of it better than most. Why? Nebraskans weren't stupid enough to plow up the million-plus acres of grassland known as the Sandhills, unlike the morons in the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles, SE Colorado and NE New Mexico.
And by the way, I'm currently reading Fever in the Heartland by Tim Egan. Being a Hoosier, I'm sure you're aware that it is a history of the KKK in the 1920s (before it moved to Iowa City). The KKK was centered in Indiana and led by a murderous scumbag who you guys were going to put in the governor's chair until one of the women he raped brought him down.
Please, enlighten me further how a Steinbeck reference is a put down to 2024 Nebraska.
I mean, in fairness, you're lucky to be here too. You were in the right place at the right time but don't actually bring anything to the table. If there was a realignment with the 50 top programs or something, you'd be left out.
Idk why, and I don’t hate it, but Purdue, regardless of how bad, almost always has a good QB. It’s kind of funny.
I fish offshore tournaments down here. Can’t do that in IN.
Hook line n sinker. I was wondering who would come to the defense of Nebraska when compared to OK.
It’s not uncommon for a winning team to win over $100K. So yeh, it can be lucrative.
