Nick Ward??? Jesus he is not even all league. Great scorer from five feet over his right shoulder and absolutely nothing else. Soft and flabby too. And cant stand Izzo. Yeah, thats an All american. Gimme xavier Tillman every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
96 Purdue grads= soft
Should have been a 60 or 82 like you amirite? He would have punched me in the face ripped off my polo and wiped with it eh?
I think Michigan's going to win the conference. Why tf would I do a ban bet?
1986. I took an alternative path - 7 years to get my BS in Engineering. I guess the 6’s are soft on IU. I married an IU grad...house divided. Peace brother.
We agree then. I undersold Michigan in 2017 and 2018 and we agree on them going into 2019. I'm not getting the whole Michigan fans are such homers angle. I especially don't get that angle from posters who oversold their teams going into last year.
But none of that matters because I didn't go to Michigan SmokinSmile
Sorry, bub. Just don't have a lot of respect for people who adopt college teams because their alma mater blows. If you want to puff your chest out about Michigan and talk shit about other programs, it should be required that, you know, you actually attended Michigan.
To be fair if I wasn’t accepted into pharmacy school at Purdue I most likely would have gone to IU and still been a Purdue fan.
And that would be fvcked up in my opinion, just like on the Purdue board when a guy said he had a friend who graduated Purdue but is an IU fan.
I'd never attend a rival school, but being an alumni is not a pre-req for fandom. My twin brother and I grew up die-hard Illinois fans. My family has always rooted for Illinois. I graduated with two degrees from Illinois, and my brother attended another school that better suited his interests and major. I'm not more of an lllini fan than he is because of pieces of paper.
So if Michigan finishes second, you're a homer. Got it.
I have a very good friend in college who has a sister who went to Marquette.
She's a fan of all things UW growing up, but then since she went to MU, she became their basketball fan and started to hate Wisconsin basketball, yet at the same time she still rooted for UW football. It's totally weird.
Illinois (and I imagine Purdue and Indiana may experience this as well) has a continent of people that root Notre Dame in football and Illinois in basketball. Not quite rivals, but I think it's bizarre nonetheless.
I mean, my alma mater won the Division II National Championship this year so I wouldn't say they blow. They are just Division II so of course I'm going to root for a Division I school.
I'd say the vast majority of college sports fans didn't attend the school they cheer for. It's such a weird thing to be upset about.
There's a pretty big difference between predicting your team makes the tournament and then goes 4-14 than predicting your team win the conference and then finish 2nd, but sure.
Why? There are plenty of programs that IU is better at than Purdue, like business. If I was going to be an engineer, I would have looked into Illinois and Purdue but still would have been an IU fan. Life happens.
Yup. I wanted to go into Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ultrasound) and the only university in the state that offered that program was Ferris State. I went there and got a good job right of school with that degree and haven't regretted it. I cheer for Ferris State in DII and Michigan in DI. I don't care if that bothers people.
It’s really not though, have to pursue what’s in your best personal interest over sports fandom. My high school buddy also went to Purdue for pharmacy school but has always been an IU fan. If I didn’t get into Pharmacy school it wouldn’t have made sense for me to go to Purdue over IU as IU had my desired 2nd major at the time and Purdue did not.
Yup. Michigan literally didn't (and still doesn't I don't think) have the degree I wanted to go to school for.
Yeah to me, it’s not an issue. Going to the school you root for isn’t a prerequisite for me. It’s like people who are Steelers fans that live in California. Why the *uck would they be Steelers fans when they never go to games, haven’t lived in Pittsburg and there are multiple football teams in the area? Shit happens.
If you mind me asking, if you went to Ferris, then why cheer for Michigan and dislike State. Wouldn’t you root for both since there is no bias?
30+ year Michigan native walmart Wolverine > 5 year New York Badger fanAlways figured you were a wal-mart wolverine.
Same. As an 8 year old I didn't really factor in my chances of getting into a school when selecting my favorite team. I just knew I liked their football helmets and the basketball team had recently beat my brothers favorite team the Illini. That was really all I needed.
43 hours without a post. Was that a record? Were y'all busy this weekend too? I hit my first hole in one Saturday morning and just woke up from the celebration!
Not sure how much two beers cost in Indiana but it’s about $8 here.
