  1. The good news for Purdue is that nobody remembers who finished second.

    The bad news is that everyone will always remember that Purdue lost to Fairleigh Dickinson.

    That’s life in the Big Ten. Purdue Choke!

    1. Wow, I would like to think the comments on IBJ articles wouldn’t resemble more mainstream platforms, but I guess I would be wrong.

    2. Sure, and some of us remember who won the last Indiana Classic too. That team from Terre Haute would have drilled Indiana by 20 this season too.

      Indiana fans enjoy living in the past because it’s easier than accepting their program is no longer nationally relevant and hasn’t been for a couple decades now. And it’s more fun to take shots at their rival who, deep down, has the program and coach and players they wish they had.

      Heck, Purdue’s got an actual roster and recruiting class for next season. IU’s got two hands worth of scholarships for a reason – no one wants to play there any more.
