There’s a lot to talk about with both programs.
One of the interesting things about covering Purdue is just the complete opposite directions of the men’s basketball and football programs. They are the two marquee programs at nearly every school, unless you’re UConn and you have women’s basketball, or a place like Nebraska with Women’s volleyball. I’m sure there are others. Right now you’ve got Purdue men’s basketball coming off of a trip to the National Championship game and taking down the #2 team in the country at home. Then, you’ve got Purdue football who has only beat an FCS team and has been absolutely decimated in nearly every other game. Sure, there are two OT losses but come on. We know what we have here.
That’s what makes these podcasts during this type of year so fascinating to me. One program is such a joy to talk about, the other is just a dumpster fire. Really makes for an interesting dichotomy.
