Please tell me that this isn't AI or from The Onion. One of the best self-own video clips ever.

And what makes it maybe even better? He read that viral-mockworthy line from prepared remarks, which means that he didn't share his prepared remarks with anyone for review (so a terrible manager) or he shared them and his senior staff is too stupid or too scared of offending him to tell him that the line would cause full-on embarrassment.

Obviously the methane gas from the cow poop has already gotten to him.

He's leaning pretty hard on those 1998 Alamo Bowl and claimed 1932 Basketball "Championships"

“It was like we was both back in older times and I was on horseback goin' through the mountains of a night. Goin' through this pass in the mountains. It was cold and there was snow on the ground and he rode past me and kept on goin'. Never said nothin' goin' by. He just rode on past... and he had his blanket wrapped around him and his head down and when he rode past I seen he was carryin' fire in a horn the way people used to do and I could see the horn from the light inside of it. 'Bout the color of the moon. And in the dream I knew that he was goin' on ahead and he was fixin' to make a fire somewhere out there in all that dark and all that cold, and I knew that whenever I got there he would be there. And then I woke up…”

Undefeated national champs: 56

"We want to win championships": 3

I'm totally sure Cignetti won't use that comment as ammo though.

[Hovadipo]

I think even a Purdue coach would be pretty pissed off that he said that. At least Cig had direct control over his outcome when he started going after people as opposed to this numbnuts who apparently is “pretty good at fundraising”.

Maybe Purdue’s new AD lives under a rock and doesn't have access to Google?

It'd be better than West Lafayette.

The only thing that would have been more cringeworthy is if he referenced "all time series record" like it was a goal anyone is even chasing. 

[Brass Cannon]

Cig is gonna legit score 100 on them now 

[Home Jersey]

Little bro just makes it too easy to stuff them in a locker. Hardly even fun anymore. This dufus AD has a hard road ahead of him. 

[LIHoosier]

We only recognize Helms titles at this school dammit!

The Pudoo beat writer for Hammer & Rails had his story picked up by Yahoo.com.

Is the story is from a Purdue persepective? Only if you consider being flattened by a bus driven by your closest media outlet as your perspective. This article is AWESOME:

https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/purdue-athletic-director-said-173016514.html#:~:text=Tommy McClelland was introduced as,in West Lafayette earlier today.

Some select quotes from a great read:

"I wasn't going to write a second thing today, or even this week, but when your brand new athletic director says something so galactically stupid at his own introductory press conference I just cannot help myself."

"consider that INDIANA IS LITERALLY THE REIGNING NATIONAL CHAMPION IN THE BIGGEST COLLEGE SPORT OF ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"this pales in comparison not only currently with IU. Historically, Indiana has won eight times as many NCAA championships. They are a national power in both metric and standard football right now. They are bringing home a haul of Olympic medals in the swimming pool every 4 years. Their baseball team has played in the College World Series semi-recently. Their women's basketball program has been a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament more recently than we have even played in it. Their men's program still has a national cachet. Yes, Purdue men's basketball has done very well in recent seasons and is one of the premier programs in the second most populr college sport, but even then, the score is still 5-0 Indiana even with our recent national profile."

"This is "Stick both feet in your mouth all the way up to the thighs" levels of a lack of self-awareness... In the last two years they have completed more "Greatest turnarounds in the history of not just this sport, but sports in general" than Purdue has won Big Ten football games."

Surely you guys have heard the quote from Purdues new AD "if you don't want to win championships, go to IU"

[ebridges24]

I didn't know whether to be pissed or laugh
