If you could only pick one...
We can all dream, can't we? The reason we dream is that maybe, one day the stars will align for our perpetually cursed Boilers and a national title will be delivered. Football was on its way, shockingly, before The Fumble in 2004. Basketball has come much closer, reaching the championship game in 1969, the semifinals in 1980, and holding a No. 1 seed in 1988, 1994, and 1996. We are still waiting though, and hoping.
The impetus behind this post was sent in by reader Dave St. Claire and the question is simple: Would you prefer a Purdue national title in football or basketball?
