I grew up in an IU basketball / ND football house which is probably why I hate both. In reality my dad was just a huge Bob Knight and Lou Holtz fan. He still gives me [expletive] when ND beats Purdue , etc. but he doesn't follow IU basketball since Knight was fired. To be honest, I didn't follow Purdue much before attending. As soon as I got on campus I became a fan for life. Sadly, I even tune in to watch beatdowns like the OSU game last Saturday. Keady was in his last few good years when I was there so it was easy to be a basketball fan. Sweet Sixteen my Freshman year and an Elite Eight my Sophomore year. Plus we had Drew Brees, Kyle Orton, Roosevelt Colvin, Matt Light (Brady's LT for the super bowls), and others so football was easy to be a fan of as well.
