Go Boilermakers!!!
A gentleman never mentions Purdue in mixed company.
That said, this forum seems a safe space to mention Purdue. (All apologies to Katie and saintangelsin, if this happens to be their one day every sixty they log in.)

Why is that?!? I would think that would be Ohio State…
my partner’s family has a long line of Boilermakers (not her) and after watching them disappoint year after year…

Serge, I can’t explain how social mores arose, I just know a gentleman never mentions Purdue in mixed-company. No offense to the train and drum people; its just how it is.

I only have MAX/TNT and don't have ESPN. So I've watched some of the men's games, but only got to watch the women's final. The women's game was sooooo much more exciting than the men's.
Still, it sucks that the men's game starts so late.

Just like in the women's game, one team had the best player and the other had the best team.
