It makes for a unique college tradition. With all the consolidation and conference realignment - it's important that some college traditions survive.
I was at Purdue this weekend for the Ohio State game ....as expected they got smoked but incredible military flyover and Purdue all American marching band made it a great experience. Boiler Up!

Does anyone know on average where the defending champs are normally ranked in the pre season? I’m assuming it’s usually 1-5, but maybe I’m wrong.

2022 - Kansas #5 in the following preseason rankings
2021 - Baylor #8
2019 - UVA #4
2018 - Nova #9
2017 - UNC #9

If only I knew it was the Purdue Boilermakers. If only. It has horrible cringe to it.

I think it's great. A lot of people think our chanting the spelling of UConn and then repeating the name three times is cringe and stupid. I also like that.

At least UConn's cheer is organic and backed by championship banners. According to the article "Boiler Up" was the Purdue football coach literally taking the same phrase from when he was the coach at University of Wyoming and bringing it to Purdue.

Color me not impressed by mimicking Wyoming Cowboy's saying.

They do outside the UConn bubble.

I could believe it. I’ve just never actually heard that vocalized.

Big East has 3 in top 8. Why is no one talking about this juggernaut?!

I'm convinced we should've stayed in the AAC. It was a terrible move

Where's freescooter when we need him? Probably still in hiding after the national championship.

Because it's a Jets chant. As a long suffering Jets fan I will freely admit that I personally cringe when I hear UConn fans do it, oh I, I'll take part in it, gladly, but I cant help but always worry that somehow my favorite Huskies will be karmically tainted by the ill fortune of my dog ass Jets.

It's like that scene in Bronx Tale where Chazz has a towel put over Frankie Coffeecake head while C is shooting dice for him:

no, no, no, Not Frankie Coffee cake. No good. I don't want his face looking at that face when he's throwing my dice. no, no, no.
