Being relative newcomers to this thing called the Big Ten, Husker fans only have limited knowledge of the background of the various teams in the conference. For example, Ohio State is arrogant, Michigan is pompous (and still delusional about what would happen in a matchup with 1997 Nebraska), Penn State was out of bounds and trapped the ball in 1982, Wisconsin likes to jump around and drink massive quantities of beer, Iowa is a pesky mosquito and Purdue is, well, Purdon’t.
Over the last ten years, Purdue football has been mostly awful, though occasionally bubbling up to almost sort-of mediocre.
