Hey Homer; thanks for pointing out that the Hoosiers’ epic Bucket victory against the evil Toiletmakers was their only conference win.

If the purpose of this thread is to show how things don’t change over time, then it is spot on today; the Hoosiers don’t have a conference win this year, either, but still have to play for the Bucket on Saturday. Maybe history will repeat, but there is no way it will be 7-0, not with IU’s (lack of) defense this year.

The Old Oaken Bucket is a Hoosier state tradition, always played as the last game of the season. I’ve been to many, and the weather is a factor. I saw Antwaan Randle El defeat the Boilers in a torrential downpour. I saw Mark Herrmann defeat the Hoosiers on a balmy late season Indian Summer day. I’ve not seen one played in the snow, although my parents did.

My traitorous sons, who attend Purdue, are making noises about going to Bloomington Saturday. We just might do that.
