Frustrating night in Mackey

[johnboiler123]

I also have a child that is a PU alumnus. Obviously, been there several times and find the campus the most uninteresting of any I've been to. Wrote a ton of checks to them (it's called tuition and room and board). Attended one FB and BB game. I would refer to Mackey as a hog barn, but never in my child's presence. PU has the most unfriendly fanbase of any. Very defensive and void of humor. Not everyone, including my child who could care less of PU sports.

Ehhh, still don’t believe fraudsense has a kid who went there.

[PU fanbase is] Very defensive and void of humor.

Agree, they’re rarely willing to joke around or take themselves not so seriously.

This is a good thread to mention that Purdue fans have fallen, in my opinion, all the down into MSU/OSU territory as far as being foul and low class.
They used to be better than that. Now they suck.

I don't think CS will lose any sleep over it.

Agree to disagree

Iu sucks is in context? Paint crew only chants it vs iu. Purdue supporting cast didn’t play well last night. Didn’t think Smith played all that well either tbh. Cox and Harris will be good in time. They are freshman.

Place was also loud vs Michigan. It’s not just an iu thing. FYI.

Iu played the best game I’ve seen them play this year. They’d make the tournament if they played like that. Can they only get up for Purdue?

disagree! I was at the PUke/ND game. Every time ND scored (which was as often as IU did, btw) the PUke faithful would chant "IU sux!" during the ensuing kickoff. You are NUTS if you think this isn't the case!!!!

What about the asinine chant during every kickoff? Didn’t have many opportunities to do that this year did you? The Boilers never scored, 66-0 will do that to you.

Where have I said anything about football? This was clearly about basketball and the Paint Crew. Try again.

My comments were clearly about basketball and the Paint Crew. Nothing to do with football.

There are IU fans that have kids that go to PU, and vise versa: it is very possible. See Matt Painter: his entire family went to IU and are IU fans.

Yes, uninteresting, unfriendly. The campus is nice I guess in the same way a military base is nice. My daughter finished up there in 2017. Only game I attended there was the 2015 IU football game.

Anyway, despite going there, she maintained her love for IU sports.

Have they ever fixed.that funky smell there when it rains?

I’m well aware it’s possible, I just don’t believe he does.

I strongly suspect that the Painter family fan allegiance that you cited should use the verb "were" instead of "are".

I'm sure Painter's family wants him to do well and are fans of him. Painter's entire family went to IU and have been enormous IU fans: there was an IU room in his house growing up. Matt himself was an enormous IU fan. I am a newer acquaintence with the old law partner of Painter's Dad, and he said Majerus recruited Matt hard when he was at Ball St.
