Uh, we've won an Orange Bowl, Sugar Bowl, you? The nobody gives a rat's *** bowl game for lousy *** 6-6 teams? Hey bum family, soryy Brahm's, you aren't the 1st family anymore!
Rose Bowl doesn't count?
I guess Len Dawson, Bob Griese, Jim Everett, Mike Phipps, Gary Danielson, Drew Brees, Kyle Orton didn't amount to much, Hank Stram or Rod Woodson, either. BTW, Dawson, Griese, Stram, and Woodson are all NFL HOFers. Brees will be a first-ballot HOFer.
Let's do another comparison:
All-Time Record
Purdue 614-566-48 (0.520)
UL 512-459-17 (0.527)
Bowl Record
Purdue 10-8 (0.556)
UL 10-11-1 (0.477)
Conference Titles
Purdue -12
UL - 8 (2 Missouri Valley Conference, 3 CUSA, 3 Big East)
National Title
Purdue - 1 (1931)
UL - 0
Face it, UL has less of a football history than Purdue, which was one of the founding members of the BIG. We've played much tougher competition over the years.
