The Journey Of A Purdue Fan

- Purdue basketball sucks in March. That statement has rung true for a long time at Purdue University. While our basketball team has had immense success, year after year we fall short in March Madness. However, this year was different...
In this video, you'll get an inside look at my passion for Purdue basketball and the community of fans that make every game LOUD. My story, along with many others like it, is what makes the Purdue basketball community a special place.
Boiler Up!

Great video! I come from a big family of sports fans on both sides. Whenever the whole family got together, politics and religion were never discussed. The main topic was BIG 10 athletics. Half the family was Purdue and sadly, the other half was IU and a small sprinkle of MSU. Purdue's first Final Four w/ Rick Mount in 1969, I was a junior in high school. I graduated from Purdue in 1974. In 1980, all my fellow Purdue alumni teachers I worked with got together to watch Purdue vs. UCLA. My only regret is that my uncle passed and did not get to see the 2023-24 Purdue Team. Like your dad and grandpa, my uncle instilled the love of Purdue in me. During the TN game, my sister dropped the news on me that her grandson (my grand nephew) will be going to Purdue this fall. I am so excited and can't wait for him to become a a Boiler!
Thanks for sharing! Loved hearing your story. Congratulations to your grand nephew!
Fellow Purdue Grad saying thank you for an awesome video 👏 once a Boilermaker fan, always a Boilermaker fan!
Also a class of 22 grad, never missed a game. Always wondered who those astronauts were😉
Truly was a special season, we’ll stand alone at the top eventually!
Yes we will! Boiler Up!
Boiler up is a mediocre slogan for an historical mediocre program. By the way my favorite program is top three all time in all time NCAA history and holds the NCAA record for most Final Four appearances and plays in a majestic elite arena unlike Purdue. I am a spoiled NCAA basketball fan unlike Purdue fans.
@@JTH-hm8ew the fact that you felt the need to ramble like this to me on a Purdue UA-cam page screams high levels of insecurity for your team.
@@JTH-hm8ew wow and I wasn’t the only fan you spat at. Get a life
I grew up in West Lafayette as well. My grandpa saw Mount, my dad and uncles saw Big Dog, and I’ve seen everything from roughly 2007-08 and onwards.
I had never shed an adult tear over a basketball game, until the end of the Elite 8 game. I thought of all the highs, the lows, the injuries, the letdowns. The relief of getting the monkey off our backs. The excitement of what might come next.
Most of all, I thought of everyone who wasn’t with us anymore to see it finally happen.
And I cried.
Great vid man! The FIRST Purdue life of video I’ve seen where it wasn’t centered on heartbreak!
This makes me feel appreciative of being a fan of Elite North Carolina! I could never imagine what it is like to cheer for a program like Purdue.
This is amazing! Gladly surprised that the video was more positive and upbeat than I expected! Really cool video!
I'm so thankful to have been able to make the trip to Phoenix!!
I've got a hotel reserved for San Antonio, just in case.....
Let's go Boilers!
Boiler up! I got to go to Phoenix with my dad, great experience!
A mediocre slogan for an historical mediocre program.
Nice story mate. Nice Family. Huge amount of footage. Well edited. Very nice to Watch. I’m so jelous 😊
i always wondered who the astronauts were! you were always on the jumbotron lmao
Do you mind sharing where you got your custom throwback script jersey? Been wanting to find a place that I know will make it correctly haha
Nicely done. Thanks Matthew.
Great job!!
Great video
LOVE IT
here before it blows up
ROFL I am thankful that my team plays in the most majestic arena in NCAA basketball unlike the arena that Purdue plays in.
I am one Purdue's biggest fan my family is alums I went 2 games this past season then before 4 games but Boiler Up Hammer Down and also BOO IU
nice work!
Great video! It was amazing to be in State Farm Stadium for the F4, Boiler Nation truly took over the city!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It only took 44 years to reach another Final Four!
Nice story but Fred Schaus was not the coach for Purdue in the 1980 final four. It was Lee Rose. In 1969 it was George King as coach.
Awesome content. I was able to travel and be at every tournament game, Purdue families are special. Nothing better than enjoying wins with multiple generations of Boilermakers!
