BREAKING: BS Readers Dislike UND


In our unscientific polling, it appears that Notre Dame is the team Purdue fans (or at least the really smart ones who read BS) want to beat the most. 67% of you chose the guys who, uh, bring the thunder from the sky.

Second was IU at just 19%, followed by OSU at 10%. I did like some of the comments regarding "Other," where we had people pointing out they voted other because they wanted to beat non-conf, lower-level programs more than anything. Or, as a reader explained, beating Wisconsin might be the most fun, for lots of cathartic reasons. I agree, that would be terrific.

However, I'm afraid I need to go with the majority on this one. As much as I think losing to Indiana is downright inexcusable, there is honestly no program I want to beat more than Notre Dame. Big stage, national television, under the lights, at home...and the obnoxious fanbase.

I want to beat them because a loss to Purdue is unfathomable now in any circumstance, so it would piss on their parade something fierce.

Notre Dame and its fanbase is like Charlie Sheen; arrogant, neurotic, delusional, and they have some talent, but blow it on booze and silly youtube videos.

Yes I'm looking at you, Mr. Floyd.

I really hate that you can buy a green and/or kelly green shirt with PURDUE across it on campus. They even advertise them on the "Offical" Purdue store. It is my biggest pet peeve. Who buys those? I grew up and live in Chicago, and I can't stand ND. I'm surrounded by these arrogant pricks. ND blows, Boiler Up! See you in October!

Is your biggest problem with ND the fact you see girls in the picture, something you wouldn't find in a photo of the Boiler student section?
