BW was one of my favorite IU players. At 6-7 he jumped center for an IU team that had a 6'11" All-American post player in Benson.

i was impressed with the clarity and preciseness of Swanigan's announcement. You can tell immediately the value of that PUke education. One intelligent announcement. I am sure all Broilees are proud.
I am glad he was a boiler. I think iu fans would've been thrilled if he had played for them.
I thought PU had the most big ten championships of all big 10 teams. Kind of a ridiculous statement...
No our best guards of all time won a national championship like Alford and Thomas.
12 of those conference championships came before 1941. In fact, any time you hear a stat about any historical item from PU hoops, it was because of the success PU had before WW2.
In the last 30 years, purdue and iu have both won 5 conference championships. It's been awhile since both of us were winning conference championships on a consistent basis.
Maybe some Purdue people might think that. Yogi is in a class with Michael Lewis, Tom Coverdale, and probably Damon Bailey. All players that stayed 4 years and put up good numbers, but not among the top guards at IU.
Purdue has no national championships but it's been 30 years since IU's last one. That seems quite historical to me.
True but we played for 1 just 15 years ago along with another F4. It's not like we've not been there in 30 years. Also the past 15 years has been the 'dark days' of IU hoops, hopefully that's about to end. If I recall, you said IU would not fire Crean. Well....
Back to reality for Purdue. I don't see them any higher than 3rd in the B10 and losing in the first or second round of the tourney. Losing Swanigan will hurt, a lot. There was a reason why Haas lost his starting spot and the team wasn't playing as well with him in the game. He doesn't demand nearly the attention or create as many mismatch problems as Swanigan did. Big, big loss for them. They don't have anyone of note coming in to replace that depth in the frontcourt.
It's definitely a big loss but I still expect a top 5 BT finish and winning a few games in the tournament. We'll need some of the newcomers to step up for sure.
Loved the way that with this big announcement he chooses to focus on IU. He may have skipped his grammar class at PU but Got an A in IU Obsession 101.
That's fair. Not sure about winning a couple games in the tourney though. Like I said, realistically I don't see you guys any higher than 3rd at best and making the tourney. I just don't think you guys will be nearly as good offensively without Swanigan.
It'll be interesting to see. I really like our senior class but a lot will depend on the newcomers. We'll need some legit contributions from them.
Isn't there a board in the vasty vastness of the web dedicated to purdue BB? There is? Oh that's right, recall it excels at banning posters that don't conform to arbitrary and capricious standards for civilized discourse leading to infestations by lonely and intellectually under-stimulated posters at other sites.
Oh the virtual stench of it all.

After the Perfect Season, IU had 4 out of 5 players make 1st team All-BT in the UPI coaches poll.The lone exception was Purdue's Bruce Parkinson at one of the guard spots. Bobby Wilkerson was third team.
My apologies. I think I used 1990 as my cutoff. Going back 30 years, purdue has 7 (87, 88, 94, 95, 96, 10, and 17) and yeah iu has 6.
We were good before WW2, you were good up through the 80's, and we've been pretty similar in the last 30 when it comes to BT titles.
It's called social media shorthand, grandpa.
what time you heading over to gray brothers cafeteria for dinner? 3:30?
I only took 2 psychology courses in college, but I can identify that Biggie is experiencing the inferiority complex suffered by those connected to Purdue athletics. Regardless of how well they do in a single season, the championships and history people remember at IU still gets the love from around the state.
"I fitted right in" is now social media shorthand for our PUke friends.
As a general rule, if you want to s**t talk someone it is best to be literate first.

Well, that and the fact that the crowd chants and has signs about IU in every game in most sports.
