Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 5110510, member: 71"] I'm curious as to how many of those poking fun ar Purdue hanging that banner were fully invested in the program during the decades leading up to our first title. I still vividly remember wondering (after the loss to Miss St) if we'd ever make it to a final four. I still vividly remember the anxiety I felt a few years later, down the stretch in the regional finals against a Gonzaga team (when they were only known for Bibg Crosby and John Stockton) that wouldn't go away. Wondering what we did to the powers of the universe to continually punish us. Yes, we have reached a point where quite a few of the ultimate banners fly over our home courts but that doesn't mean that for nearly every school in the country making it as far as Purdue did last year isn't an accomplishment worth praising.
