Really some touchy folks at Gold and Black...

Heller and Ducati are still alive? I thought I smelled something bad.
Are those two Knight-worshipers Moo U fans now? LOL!!
Didn't he have a winning record against Knight?
That surely helped him keep his job.
He and Gojko used to post the most racist crap on their private forum back in the day.
Really sad and pathetic cretins.
You're here because you can't stop thinking about IU.
It's an interesting thread discussing Purdue and I like discussing basketball on here. I appreciate your concern though.
It's a shame you can't find anyone at Goldandblack to have an interesting basketball discussion with. That board has really gone down.
A bunch of mentally challenged third graders on moonshine came up with it.....so it's no wonder you all love it so much.
Actually Joe Tiller's wife did. Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoosiers is way better though I'm guessing?
Actually, PU made the 1980 final four with Joe Barry Carroll at Center. They only finished fourth in Big ten that year behind IU, OSU and Iowa. Big ten was really stout that year as Third place Iowa also made final four.
PU upset both IU and Duke to win Mideast region and were favored in final four matchup versus UCLA and their 6' 6" center Mike Sanders trying to handle all Big ten center Carroll. PU had smartly brought in Lee Rose to coach and he had them playing well at year end. That final four was the only realistic chance PU ever had of winning NCAA basketball title. Beating undersized Bruins and undersized Louisville in title game, even with Darrell Griffith at guard, was doable. PU was actually the title favorite after rising to the occasion and beating higher level IU and Duke programs in regional.
However, PUkes folded against UCLA and Rose left to coach elsewhere. PU brought in Keady who set the PU mentality in stone, good competitive regular season and regional program, never enough confidence under the bright lights to win the big one.
That is the attitude carried by PU to this day, all established by the 1980 elfoldo as the favorite.
1) She was drinking with them.
2) I think Hoo Hoo Hooisers is stupid and never say it. It is way better, though, than Boiler Up. That's just ignorant.
You guys win your first tournament game(s) since '12 and now all of a sudden Painter is on a short leash?
One of the greatest hypocrisies in BIG history. Purdue has wins vacated during the three cheat era but Keady's wins and the BIG titles are still recognized.
Several years ago they lost in the tourney to a lower seed, don't remember who it was but it was a layup drill for the winner, anyway, someone posted that Painter had never lost to a lower seeded team, All I said was "oops." And I was immediately banned. Yea, skin so thin you can see through it.
Probably VCU. They made the boilers look pretty bad in that game.
They mass banned pretty much all IU posters last week. I don't think it was necessary to have done anything beyond posting over there. So far as I could see (before I was blacklisted) there wan't anything terrible going on beyond a few IU posters taking issue with the Purdue narrative that the only reason we hired Archie was that Alford turned us down. They didn't seem to like that.
Boiler up is dumb but no dumber than other things that fans of other programs say.
I was stunned however when I saw a photo from one of the PU NCAA games and they were wearing tee shirts that said "Purdue Mentality". I was stunned. I know other teams used the Mentality theme and maybe Nike forced them to, but the staff must have shit when they saw it and pleaded not to have to wear it...wow.
Hey it's their board and they can mass ban all they want I suppose, but they have no defense when someone calls them little brother, because that's exactly what your little brother would do.
Pretty hard to take a fan base serious when they act like that.
Still don't understand the need for IU fans to go over there in the first place.
I have several PU friends, I went there to congratulate them on a Big Ten championship and winning a game in the tourney.
It's called being a good sport.
Much of what Courtsense is posting about Twindegrees is exaggerated and some of it is, well, made up. He has a deep dislike of Twindegrees which goes back to the Indy Star BB days. I suggest you read twin's posts first hand before you make up your mind. You may still think Twin is disreputable, but form your own opinion. I don't have a dog in this fight, but I dislike falsehoods.
If I were you I'd not stick my neck out in support of anything from Ducati, er, Twindegrees. His only purpose on the G&B is to talk crap about IU, and most of what he has to say in BS. You'll notice none of what he had to say regarding Crean or Miller was even remotely accurate.
If your mods had a clue over there they'd have banned his ass long ago. But I supposed it doesn't matter how much garbage he spews so long as it fits a preferred narrative.
You're welcome to him.
Yes! That was created by Bob Knight (and "Jack") years ago.
I kind of agree with you on this. I just think people should go to the source to make judgements.
I know Ducati was pretty upset with the way Bobby Knight was treated, and probably made the world look pretty dark. Those of you that carry a grudge against him are welcome to it, and he probably deserves it. As for me, I have not seen his "dark side" on the Purdue boards, so I have no issues with him at this point. - and please, I don't want to become some sort of intermediary in this.
If a grown man's world becomes "dark" and he starts endlessly posting racist garbage on the internet because a basketball coach got fired, I would suggest not associating myself with or defending that person in any way.
I'd think that your mods real problem with him would be that he's not there as a Purdue fan, but simply as a bitter IU hater. While I realize that some of that might play well on occasion I'd think you guys would tire of his one trick pony act. Wouldn't you prefer discussion regarding Purdue basketball as opposed to how much IU sucks?
But that's just me.
For some over there, hating IU and yelling "IU Sucks" during EVERY game is much more important and fun than watching or talking PU basketball.
It's equivalent to those here that hate every coach not named Bob Knight.
It's basketball, get a life or buy a dog, or something normal.
