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."

He gets it at least

Locker room bulletin board material... 

2024: 56-3

2025: 66-3

5-0 Basketball Nattys

Soccer, Swimming/Diving

Governors Cup: IU 14-8-2... what am I missing?

Since PUke claims the 1932 Helms basketball championship, which by the way was awarded retroactively 11 years after the actual season (1943), how about:

Helms basketball championship

Purdue (1) 1932

Indiana (3) 1953, 1976, 1981

The last year Helms champions were selected was 1982.  Purdue has a banner for their 11 year post-dated 1932 Helms award, which was selected by one individual as this award was for every year.  Indiana and their three Helms championships....meh.  Purdue claiming this and displaying this is comical.
