For example, what will it mean for college basketball as a whole if Purdue becomes a national powerhouse?    Not a whole hell of a lot.   What will it mean when Indiana does so again?    You know the answer as well as I do.  

Yep,

A little while ago I mentioned that if, in the next two years, Illinois, PU and IU all made the elite 8 both years it would be a  “nice” story for IL and PU but in IU’s case the national media would be running “they are back” stories, we would have prime time ESPN games and BT/ACC matchups, it would just be a much bigger deal, etc etc.   And if we hang another banner.......

So does anyone think Lander was visiting Louisville to play there next season? I’m a big believer in him and I don’t want him to go

180* wrong.   Blue blood means historic.  Foundational.  All time championships both national and conference.  Programs that built and shaped what we have now in every sport (the Knicks, for example are a blue blood NBA team).    There is no "momentary" blue blood status; nor is a team "still" a blue blood.   You either are or you aren't.   In college basketball, it's Indiana, North Carolina, Kansas, Kentucky, probably Duke and probably UCLA.   For example, what will it mean for college basketball as a whole if Purdue becomes a national powerhouse?    Not a whole hell of a lot.   What will it mean when Indiana does so again?    You know the answer as well as I do.  Reason?  College basketball's better when Indiana's good.  Same as college football's better when Notre Dame's good.  Why?  Blue bloods have that kind of clout.  And they always will.  It's not a temporary condition.   There's a reason IU is RIGHT NOW the #3 revenue generating college basketball program even as bad as they've been.  You're making up your own definition and then arguing against it.    

Happy to see you here again. Honestly, we need a bit of what you bring. You've always been a defender of the greatness of the program. I've been watching since the mid 50's, though I don't remember that much about those teams. But I do know that over the years I've watched a lot of great IU basketball. And personally, I am fine with Woodson taking a shot at it. He, at the very least, understands.

Would be illegal for Louisville to do that

Welcome home, Coach!

@Chris007  Where is this picture taken from.  I don't recall anywhere around Assembly Hall or Memorial Stadium that has a drive in corridor such as this?  Its for sure not Assembly Hall correct?  Maybe it is Memorial Stadium but I can't for the life of me picture where the drive in would be?
