Asterisk has arrived.
“Congratulations on beating our backups.” Kinda funny, actually.
Yep. As if we never had injuries in any of the losses between 1996 to 2009. So be it. They’ve never lost a game in either sport straight up.

no asterisk
Not even for four bailout PI calls on 3rd downs. This was an abysmal performance and IU played harder and with more passion. We crapped our own bed at home and now we have to lie in it.

I see what you did there.
They aren’t bailouts if they are good calls. One was borderline. The others were fine. My sense was that Purdue was intentionally pushing the envelope and gambling that the refs wouldn’t call it. Probably not a bad plan, but it didn’t work out.

They're bailouts if we commit the penalties and they lead to first downs.
That’s our defense bailing out a bad pass and keeping a drive alive.

sooooo...
they were about as effective as Obama’s bailouts then… I am sorry, I couldn’t resist. Go Hoosiers!
GET TO THE CHOPPA!!!
I said the same myself
Enjoy the bucket, IU. I can’t remember feeling the same joy over a football win in sometime. i will admit this: You passed us in football.

ahh that's getting a little ahead of yourself
recency bias says IU is a better program but we all know that to be untrue. Purdue will come back healthy next year and be competitive. IU will still be a glorified MAC team until we get some better coaching and recruiting.

If there’s an asterisk, it states “Did not play well”.
There’s nothing to blame our loss on other than our team and coaches not doing what they should. Was not fun to watch as a Purdue fan. I was surprised it even made it to OT, giving how well Chappel was tearing up our defense as IU pushed down the field.
Man, I didn't realize four were on third down.
That is brutal. As the fourth quarter wound down it became clear that this was going to be an excruciating loss for whichever team lost. It was also clear that both teams “deserved” (as in earned) a loss. Purdue’s penalties and errant passes, IU’s subnormal punt and punt return efforts and its own jaw-dropping penalties—-all made for an entertaining, yet grotesque game.
Purdue fans can take comfort that they may have lost the battle but, if Lynch is retained, won the war. It would be typical of IU football misery for it to pay for this win with 3-4 more years of Lynch-led losing.
By the way, any blowback on the decision to punt from the 31 (which turned out not to matter)?
turned out to be the right decision in my opinion
they had the TD on the next drive if not for whatshisface tripping on the imaginary line

It worked out. Purdue ended up pinning IU back and got a field goal on the next possession. I still think that not taking a shot at a 50 yard field goal was a strange decision with a strong-legged kicker like Wiggs.

WOOO!

I almost called the score!
We're you from? Austria. Well then, let's put another shrimp on the barbee!
That's a sweet win for the Hoosiers
I am a pessimist for obvious reasons when it comes to the Pigskin Hoosiers, but it’s great to see the team finish the season on a positive note. Lots of close losses this year – at some point that’s got to be on the coaching staff – but finally a close win.
