Tonight the IU-Purdue men's basketball rivalry gets back to where it used to be. In the 60's and 70's it wasn't uncommon to say that your favorite two teams were Purdue and whoever was playing IU. Also, a common sentiment was POTFH (Pee on the blank hoosiers for the less informed). Tonight both teams are ranked. They are tied in the loss column (though Purdue has played and won more league games) for the lead of the Big Ten. And it is the only time that they play this year (BAD move by the Big Ten to allow this to happen). AND it is on national TV (ESPN). Lot's at stake but nothing as important as just beating them in anything at anytime.
Of course, I will be watching (and just a little bit of "discussion" with the referees I am sure :-)
Now if I could just breathe.
