Dear Nebraska, Welcome to the Big Ten...From Purdue

PrintHammer and Rails has really come into its own as an important Purdue blog; their recent commentary about hoops has been extensive and informative. My thanks to T-Mill for his Welcome Letter...
Welcome to West Lafayette. Please Clean Up After Yourselves.
Hi Guys, T-Mill here from the Purdue SBNation community, Hammer & Rails. I know you probably haven't given much thought to us Boilermakers over in the Leaders (or is it Legends? I really don't know or care) Division, but trust us, we're here. You likely won't be seeing us at Lucas Oil Stadium any time soon since we have that behemoth Ohio State in our way, but once every decade or so we might make a run. As far down as we look right now, it feels like decades for sure.
Anyway, we're going to be sharing a conference with you, so there are a few things you should know about us:
- For the love of God do not call us Purdon't or Purwho - Trust us when we say this, we have heard this one thousands of times and each person thinks it is original every time. It is not. You are not being clever when you use it. In fact, if you call us that we're probably going to link you in with Notre Dame fans, and no self-respecting college football fan wants that.
- We hate Iowa too - But mostly because Jim Delaney told us we do.
- We like football, but we're more of a basketball school - I think we're going to get along fine as you give us basketball and we trade off by giving you football. We're going to see you in basketball much sooner anyway. Just please, please be careful around Robbie Hummel's knee when we play you. Our fans can't take another incident. In fact, be careful around everyone's knees. For some reason West Lafayette, Indiana has become a nexus in the universe for weak ACLs.
- We think you'll like West Lafayette - Once you finally come for football you should find plenty of tickets. I respect your consecutive sellout streak, mostly because we haven't been within 10,000 seats of a sellout in some time. Trust me, you will find plenty of empty seats. For basketball you will get to play in our recently renovated Mackey Arena with top notch amenities. For baseball we are debuting the new Lambert Field next season as well.
So there you have it. I think you'll find we're pretty easy to get along with. No one really hates us in this conference except Indiana, and after finishing in last place each of the last three years in football and basketball, they don't have much room for hate (ed. note: Indiana actually finished 2nd to last during the 2009-2010 basketball season, but the point stands). We're looking forward to seeing you come to town.

If they can't say "purdon't" can't they say "BTFDown!!"?

Other notes for Nebraska fans about Purdue:
- Please refer to them as Purdue (IN)—or verbally as “Purdue of Indiana”—in order to not confuse them with other Purdues.
- As a top tier football program, you can categorize Purdue (IN) in the “irritable speed bump” category like Missouri or Kansas. Sure, they can occasionally catch fire, but c’mon…
- Their claim to fame in the past decade under Joe Tiller’s WR-dominated offensive system known as “basketball on grass.” Even so, you’ll be hard-pressed to remember any Purdue of Indiana wide receiver by name from the past ten years. The internet agrees: when you do a google image search of “Boilermaker wide receiver” your first image is of a Central Michigan Chippewa.
- Basketball is the one with the orange hoops. Yeah, I don’t care either…

taylor Stubblefield
The NCAA Division 1-A all-time receptions leader. Although Dustin Keller is the only receiver that has had any success in the NFL. next would be John Standeford, whose claim to fame is being the #2 receiver only the only 0-16 team in NFL history. he did win a Super Bowl ring as a member of the Colts’ practice squad.

Not even the best Stubblefield.
That would go to Dana. Taylor and Dana are even on the basis of unisex first names.
Plus, Dustin Keller is a tight end in the NFL so that does not count.

Purdue is known for its Science (one of its professors just won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry), Vet, Ag, Aviation, Pharmacy, and Hotel and Tourism Management (#1 in the Nation). Krannert School of Management, though under IU’s Kelly’s shadow (though it’s not that big), is well known and respected across the country.

And now I work part-time from home managing a few websites and writing about high school sports. MY dad is a Purdue grad in Pharmacy too.

I swear, never to call you Purwho or Purdon’t, if you swear never to say, "Hey, does that “N” on your helmet stand for knowledge?" You will not be original.

This Nebraska Boiler can't wait!
I’ve been stoked about this since June and I have quite a pedigree to add to this conversation:
- I grew up in South Bend under the shadow of the Golden Dome yet I despise the domers (and I’m even Catholic to boot)
- I had an uncle who graduated from UNL in the late 70s and I was perhaps the only child in South Bend who regularly wore Nebraska gear (I had a sweet “blackshirts” t-shirt I regularly wore to gradeschool hoops practice)
- I attended Purdue for 2 years before life took me in other directions (that was during the Colletto years and yet I am still a Purdue fan)
- I have lived in Omaha for the past 16 years, am married to a UNL alum and I love Husker football (I’ve attended about 20 games in Memorial stadium over that period and this will be year 4 of taking my boys to the Spring Game)
I’m not bragging (if that info is even brag-worthy) but I am excited that Nebraska is part of the Big Ten. Purdue will always be where my heart is, but I am thrilled to have a new second favorite team in the Big 10 (move over MSU). I am thrilled to now be able to shell out the extra jack for the Big 10 network without my wife complaining about it. I am thrilled to be married to a woman who loves college football almost as much as she loves me and who I will now have the great opportunity to indoctrinate into the Big 10 (this could take our relationship to unprecedented levels).
Thankfully, I don’t have to worry about a Boiler/Husker matchup on the gridiron for the next two years. It’s a no brainer on the hardwood.
Welcome to the Big 10 Nebraska! Thanks for rescuing me from having to be subjected to the Big XII!
Oh, and I hope you pummel Iowa every chance you get. :)
As a fellow person living in the shadows of the dome...
I envy you for escaping!!! The fans here are ABSOLUTELY INSANE!!!!! They are even more obnoxious than OSU fans, and I know that is a hard thing to accomplish! The past few years have been fun for me, but when they start having winning seasons again I may hurt someone!!!!!!!!!

Tell me about it!
My own father is one of those people. We rarely talk from September to November!
I have heard it said that Nebraska fans are obnoxious. Compared to ND and OSU they are nothing! They are certainly more knowledgeable about the game than ND fans and are not the bandwagoners of OSU as they live and die with their Huskers more than perhaps any other major program since there is no NFL team or divided state loyalties. Football Saturdays in Lincoln are pretty amazing.
It will be interesting to see how rivalries develop. A hatred for Iowa is a no brainer. Penn State, Wiscy, OSU and Mich should develop into some interesting story lines over the years.

Very excited to have Nebraska in the Big Ten!
As T-Mill said, we can have a great symbiotic relationship as long as you’re willing to trade your basketball wins for our football wins.
As long as you don’t get greedy, like Ohio State, and demand them both, things will work out just fine between us.
Thanks for the welcome, Purdue-ians.
I think we’ll cohabitate in this B1G thing just fine. Nebraska had a similar agreement with Kansas back in the Big8/12, where we would routinely whoop up on them in football and they would just molest us in basketball. I look forward to continuing this tradition in the Big Ten with a willing partner like Purdue.
THE RATIO!
I’m surprised “The Ratio” hasn’t appeared yet:

Also, after a long night of viewing “The Ratio” in action at the Neon Cactus, roll over to the Triple XXX Diner and get your mug on a Drew Brees Special.
IU Students
Always bring this up, and then mention how Purdue has been “keeping ugly girls out of IU since 1869” (If you look at the picture of the guy holding that sign, there is only one girl in that picture).
Of course, when you have graduates that land in weird places like Neil Armstrong and Captain Sully, I’m fine with only 40% of Purdue’s population being females since I know quite a few of them.

Please refer to them as Purdue (IN)—or verbally as "Purdue of Indiana"—in order to not confuse them with other Purdues.
As a top tier football program, you can categorize Purdue (IN) in the "irritable speed bump" category like Missouri or Kansas. Sure, they can occasionally catch fire, but c’mon…
