In 14% of the cases Purdue actually won the game by more than 10 points. That's not bad. I've been keeping an eye on how well these simulations work, and at least in Purdue's case they've been darn close to reality. Let's just hope tonight the reality is in the 37.1%.
Is UConn a good team? Definitely. So is Purdue though. ESPN has Purdue being the worst team in the Sweet 16 while they have UConn being the second best. No one is giving Purdue a chance here. That should definitely inspire them. They seem to perform best when they're counted out. With all the distractions around UConn at this time, as well as their surely inflated heads, something unexpected can happen tonight.
Game on.
BTFU!

How could UConn be a jack booted oppressor? What with that cute little doggy mascot with her wittly pink tongue hanging out like that. Its just so cute and cuddly looking!
Speaking of mascots, I've never cared for our locomotive logo. The cow catcher is head-on while the rest of the train is 3/4 view.
Also it's too detailed to look like anything when it's small. I wish we would ditch that and go to the slanted block P on everything.
As for our chances in the Tournament, I think it all depends on which Boilermaker team decides to show up - the one that crushed MSU during the regular season, or the one that lost to...take your pick here.
I am hoping for the "good" team to make an appearance. Then Purdue will shock the world, or at least anyone outside of BoilerNation.
So...EsPN thinks 'Zona's better than them?
Smart bunch.
Dozer -- I have never liked this locomotive logo... it's too cartoonish. I LOVED the old "rushing train" locomotive logo.
I don't know about trusting the computers. Remember what happened in Terminator.
I agree wholeheartedly on that train logo- way too busy and unsymmetrical. I like the P and refuse to buy any merchandise with the train. The train is GAY!
As for the game, I feel like these last 5 days have been 2 weeks!! I really feel like we are going to win it. We play much better when chasing teams, rather than being the hunted. No "experts" giving us a chance actually gives us our best shot at winning!
Go Boilers!!!
Plang,
RE: "cute little doggy mascot with her wittly pink tongue hanging out"
I see a sick dog, a rabid dog, foaming at the mouth. He needs to be put to sleep. We put down Husky west this tournament, time to put down Husky east.
I agree with Boilergal - we're better as the underdog. This team is too young for them to handle being the favorites. They need to be out of the limelight to focus.
Foaming at the mouth isn't cute. These Connecticut guys seem to like cute, which implies certain things...
I miss the old Purdue Pete mascot that looked like a pissed-off Gene Keady. I've still got an old jersey with that on it. We need to bring the pissed-off Pete back!
