Wow.

They should be proud.

Late in the 4th quarter, Indiana was down 21-16 and had the ball inside the 20-yard line and threw an interception. IU had so many breaks and just threw them away.

Purdue tried very hard to choke on this game.....I thought IU looked pretty good against Purdue's defense. Like the announcers said, we all knew Green-Ellis would break away for a touchdown today...it was all a matter of when.

The officiating was a bit iffy as there was a lot of holding out there that wasn't being called. (and that interference call was kinda bogus) All in all, I'd rather see the game move quick rather than see it stopped every ten seconds for a penalty.

IU was the victim of a very bad official's spot with about 3 minutes to go. Purdue was a 24 point favorite, so IU overachieved.

For most of us I.U. fans any football game where we beat the spread is a victory.

And anytime we beat the spread by more points than our opposition beats us then it's a blow out.

Drinks on me at Nick's.

Man, I was at Nick's. What did you look like?

Like Kravitz said "I.U. played their best, Purdue played their worst, and I.U. still couldn't win."

Overachieve all you want. The bucket still resides in West Lafayette...

BTW, that's totally not true. The ball was spotted at his point of forward progress.

You may be referring to the first down marker on the far sideline which indicated that he was at least a half-yard short, but apparently it didn't agree with the chains on the near sideline.

Congratulations.

IU sucks in football almost as much as Purdue does in basketball.

Purdue's football team has much to be proud of but barely winning the Bucket isn't one of them.

Oh, and when you resort to quoting Krappitz...
