southsider2k5 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 ACC-1 Big Ten-0 Purdue loses 60-53 at NC State. No big surprise really. Purdue is done with Keady at the helm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdue129 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 No big surprise really. Purdue is done with Keady at the helm. Keady's going to be lucky to go out with 3-4 conference wins this year. Painter was the head recruiter of Landry, who has turned out to be Purdue's only decent player.

The whole idea of this week is beating the ACC, regardless of who from the Big 10 is playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I just can't watch an NC State game, its so damn boring. I tried my best tonight but I fell asleep for 2 hours and woke up to Kansas smashing Nevada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my mind, Purdue was not a spot to look for the Big Ten to get a win, so tonight was expected. The Big Ten nees to win 3 out of 4 tomorrow night to have ANY chance of pulling this thing off.

They play exactly one game away from Lawrence in 2004, and that road game is in KC. The best team they play is SC, that is pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well don't expect the Illini to get any more respect if the rest of the conference is easily beaten on national tv. Is it just me or are there a handful or so of U of I fans on here that really shed a bad light on the Illini fanbase in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really care what the al does in interleague play as long as the sox win??? I know i don't. It's different when you're trying to gain respect for the conference as a whole, especially when they're playing on the ACC-biased ESPN. I am the last person that would have ever expected Purdue to be as close as they were last night, but that's not the point. Here and in real life, Illini fans say that their team doesn't get the respect it deserves. One way that can be changed is by the Big 10 out playing the ACC on national TV. I'd venture to guess that most people would say the ACC is the best conference in the nation, so what better way to make your team/conference look good than by beating the majority of their teams? A number of Big 10 teams are not going to get that many national tv games this year, so if they get beat soundly this week, it's not going to look good for the conference. When teams like U of I and MSU destroy a team during conference play, it'll look better if that team was able to beat an ACC team this week. I'm not saying that you should root for them all the time, but in some situations it makes sense. Can you honestly say you weren't hoping the Twins would at least look good against the Yanks the last two years? If the Twins do well or even beat a team like the Yankees in the playoffs, it helps the Central Division not look so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AssHatSoxFan Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I for one have always been one to root for the Big Ten in the challenge or during the tourney or bowl season. It helps reflect better on the quality of our competition and makes us look better versus other conferences. Other than that I really couldn't care what those teams do, but in the Big Ten ACC challenge i would like us to win it once but not with the matchups we have been getting lately.

What does it say about the Purdue fanbase when a Purdue fan is whining about an Illini fan not rooting for the Big Ten? Why do I have a feeling that you wouldn't be making a big fuss out of this if your name was "Michiganstate129?" I just don't care what the other teams in the Big Ten do, and I don't like Purdue because of all my mom's relatives who live in Crown Point can be obnoxious Purdue and Cubs fans.

santo=dorf Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 care to address anything i said in my longer post?? I would like for the Illini to be ranked #1, but I'm not going to start fretting so much that I'll root for the other Big Ten teams. Thankfully College Basketball is NOT like College Football because a tournament decides the national championship game. Now if the NCAA decided to use a BCS system to determine whom should play in the championship game, then I would root for every other Big Ten team in their games because I would like the Big Ten to appear to be the toughest division in the country. Sorry. I just don't give a s*** about Purdue unless they are playing the Illini. EDIT: I missed the Twins reference. I rooted against the Twins the past three seasons. People know how weak the AL Central just by noticing that only two teams had winning records. The Twins winning anything in the playoffs does NOTHING for a Sox fan. I root for teams, not divisions.
