The last time Purdue went to the Final Four they were a #6 seed in the 48-team 1980 NCAA Tournament. 

That was also Iowa's last F4. Both BigTen teams lost their semi-finals and the Boilermakers beat the Hawkeyes in the third place game which was still a thing back then.

I don't bet against Purdue. I did that once in football. Purdue was favored. I bet the other team, thinking that if Purdue wins and covers, I lost money but offset that disappointment with a Purdue win. If Purdue loses, I win money offsetting the disappointment of Purdue losing. If Purdue wins and doesn't cover, I win both.

Purdue lost and I felt ashamed--winning the bet on the back of my own team's misfortune just made me feel dirty.

So no, I'm not betting this one.
It was mostly a joke about how sure you’ve been the past year-plus about the inevitability of Purdue failure, bu point taken.

In other, less snarky news. Congrats, my friend.

Four different leagues in the F4:

  • SEC, Bama
  • Big East, UCONN
  • B1G, Purdue
  • ACC, Dook/NCST
I want Purdue over Bama (that way the NC is between two teams that Ohio State beat) but if I were betting I'd bet UCONN over Purdue.
