And in the land of the candystriped androgynously challenged college basketball fans that time forgot (1987) that is Indiana Basketball, the ghost of Branch McCracken rears its' solemn head (remember : Bobby Knight wants to be buried upside down so that his critics can kiss his ass, not so he can solemnly rise his head for a IU victory).
LO and Behold, the skies parted and there cometh a victory !
A Court storming victory !
Almost 10 years to the day since beating #1 Kentucky and storming the court!
And there will be many a popcorn box printed, boys kissing boys, boys kissing coaches, hugs all around, more kisses and more hugs, nets cut down for a regular season win, and many other strange things that began with the CTC era for the Hoosiers this day to celebrate such an historic win!
Yet before the laurels of the previous night become too settled upon the head of the faithful, the courtside jesters whisper :
In over 100 years of games :
Purdue 124 wins
Indiana 90
All glory for the Hoosier is fleeting....
Yes, indeed, Indiana STILL SUCKS
