    Has any major Athletics program had a bigger fall from grace than Purdue?

    What happened to their sports? They use to be good in basketball and at least decent in football. Seems like they're fukkin terrible at everything now.

    Their basketball coach was offered big bucks to take the Missouri job a couple of years ago and he turned it down saying the Purdue program was a top program in the Big 10...WTF was he thinking? He was offered a big raise from Purdue...what a moron

    Purdue has its moments, but hasn't been a power in either sport in years.

    Ironic that they blow out Indiana the day you post this.

    But yeah, hoops is not what it once was and the football program is just godawful right now.

    I think it was a close game when I posted. Maybe this thread will turn them around

    They're a long ways away from Drew Brees and Glenn Robinson

    not sure what u mean. Yes they were decent in football under joe tiller even made a rose bowl but it's not like they were winning 10 games every year. In hoops they made the ncaa tourney 6 straight times from 07 to 2012 but only made the sweet 16 twice in that span. They made the cbi tourney last yr and have a winning record this yr.

    The football team sucks ass right now but the hoops team was not as good as u think before this yr and not as bad as u think this year. I think butler has a greater fall the last few years than just about amy team that was really good in recent years
