If you monitor Twitter during games, as the staff here does, you’ll eventually see Purdue as a verb. It is part of our history as a program in so many sports. If Purdue struggles, blows a lead, loses as a favorite, it is “Purdueing”. At this point it is beyond “Purdon’t”. The “Purdon’t” moniker is more the past tense, as something that wasn’t done or never gets done. “Purdueing” is the active act of falling apart itself. Some famous examples:
· The Fumble
· The 2015 NCAA Tournament loss to Cincinnati
· The 2016 NCAA Tournament loss to Little Rock
· The football loss at Ohio state in 2012
I would list more, but we don’t need to.
