In Phoenix for three of my college buddies whose band is performing as one of the featured acts at Biker Week at West World in Scottsdale. Busy weekend for PHX with obviously the Final Four occurring on the other side of the Valley.

Haven’t seen a single Bama fan. There’s a steady dose of North Carolina State and UCONN fans. But by far Purdue has the biggest fan showing. Old Town Scottsdale. Tempe. The airport yesterday. Boilermakers colors and logos everywhere in large numbers.

The Purdue numbers are not surprising. They haven't been there since 1980 and they are passionate, and their alumni tend to have money.

Sounds like Indy when the Gophers were in the 1997 Final Four.

To all of you Purdue guys, @betarhoalphadelta  @grillrat @boilerbanger @jhetfield99 and any I missed, enjoy this. I know it has been a long time coming. We are having a 5th and 2nd birthday party for kids #1 and #3 and it occurred to me that last time Purdue was in the F4 I was their age. My point is, enjoy this!

Saving up for football trips.

3 teams looked a cut above all year, and 2 of them are playing for a national title.  Not too shabby

Thank you @medinabuckeye1 I am in Phoenix and taking it all in.  On to Monday night.  The game we have wanted to see all year.

Is Purdue the winningest Big Ten team? They never seem to win everything, but win a lot.

[Hawkinole]

We have two Big Ten teams in the championships, one each on the men's and women's sides.

They have the most B1G titles.

I did not do a bracket this year, but I would not have had Purdue in the final 4.   I didn't think they were athletic enough and well... they're Purdon't.  With all that said, I hope they beat Uconn.
