I debated doing the same (and would have had about the same distance drive) but have decided to visit my 1981 freshman year roommate (we got season tickets that year and both hooked ever since) and watch the games with him (he also is in prime eclipse territory as a bonus). Be safe and BOILER UP!

I’m 50 years old. I didn’t really start being a huge fan until I got to Purdue in 1991 so I didn’t really get caught up in the three amigos to know what a big deal it was that they lost when they did. But I’ve been there for all the other tough things. I was at the Duke game in Knoxville. The VCU game in Chicago. The Virginia game in Louisville. And then all the other low moments. The Hummel injury robbed a national title team; I will go to my grave thinking that. Sunday was one of the most cathartic and healing days ever. Words really cannot describe it but this video perfectly encapsulates all of it. I’ve watched it several times and have cried each time. I’m so happy for this program right now.

I'm right there with you. I've said it ever since - that 2010 team was Painter's best team. In my opinion, the 2010 team was even better than our current team. There's no doubt in my mind that we make the Final Four in 2010 if Hummel doesn't get hurt. Hell, we made the Sweet 16 WITHOUT him. Absolutely no doubt in my mind we get there with Hummel. It's a damn shame what happened to him. I'm glad he's doing well but man did that suck.

2010 was my senior year. That season hurt. Seeing Robbie cry after Sunday hurt in a way I had not expected. They all deserve this. I hope E'Twaun, Janina, LewJack, and Chris Kramer are there this weekend. They deserve it!! Boiler Up Boys!! I loved you then, I love you always. Hail Purdue!! You've got this!!

I believe you have to be in your late 40s or older to truly understand the heartbreak of Purdue basketball over the past 40 years.... ya had to be there and remember all of it to finally given the grace we received this Easter (and beat TN in the afternoon that day!): it was truly tear shedding moment for me. The 1988 team was truly great and profiled in this video. The 2000 team just had to beat Wisconsin to advance and had a flat game. I was there in Knoxville in 1994, I was in Memphis in 1997 vs Kansas.. played them tough until they ran the tables... so much suffering... I am fully healed now.

Been watching Purdue Basketball since I was a little boy and my father ran the concessions. I cannot tell you how many times I used to go to bed listening to the game while Larry Clisby used to narrate over the radio. Only to often try to fall asleep crying. I had to leave it all behind because I would get so emotional. 😂. Now, look at me, 46 years old, getting all hyped again. Dangerous. Lets go Boilers! The Boilermaker express says “I think I can, I think I can! Bring it home boys!

No one deserved what Purdue just accomplished more than Matt and all the players and fans over the years. History has already been made, just need a little more. They beat a very good TN team w/o playing their best, except Edey, he was an absolute beast. When they hit on all cylinders no one can beat them, including Uconn. I look for a blow out against NC State setting up a mammoth match up everyone wants to see. Grind on and Boiler up Purdue. The heartbreaks are over it's now glory time. Enjoy it. Great video by the way.

I'm in my 30's and have been a Purdue fan my entire life. My dad went to Purdue and he introduced me to the pain of Purdue athletics from a young age. Growing up in Indiana I've always loved basketball. We've been through a LOT of shit over the years. Missed opportunities. Squandered leads. Extremely poor play. Terrible, season-altering injuries. It's been so frustrating. I think the pinnacle of sadness for me personally was losing to Little Rock in 2016. It was our second straight first-round exit, on the heels of missing the tournament the 2 years before that. I was in a very bad place as a fan. That loss took a lot out of me. Then Haas getting hurt in the first round. Then what happened vs Virginia. Then what happened vs St Peter's. Then what happened vs FDU. My god how much can we take?? To finally put it all together and reach a final four is a dream come true. I don't know if it fully heals the pain of all those losses and setbacks, but it sure as hell goes a long way. I will be making the trip to Phoenix this weekend and I am incredibly proud to be a Purdue fan. I'll be wearing the black and gold with pride all week and hoping to see us have a chance to win a title Monday night! Go Boilers!
