To me that ranks up there with magical/suspenseful wins, but it wasn't really cathartic. It was still just Purdue, and a mediocre edition at that. It was too early to know things had truly changed until 2002 scUM. 2001 was a glorious surprise, but it could be written off as catching them underestimating us. With everything on the line for the 2002 game I was preparing for another heartbreak, especially with a hobbled MoC. That win exercised the demons of the 90s. But I can respect why you'd rank it up there

Not for me. Holy Buckeye was when I knew 2002 was different.

I had no idea of the final outcome obviously but when someone says "cathartic" that was the definition to me.

The weight of Cooper was lifted that day and that was no small thing

Born in 79.

National title was amazing. But that was the first time ever playing for it in my lifetime. Thought we'd win 20 more, consecutively. But there were no title demons to exorcise. 2001 is up there. IN AA?! Are you fuckin kidding me?! Probably a fluke. Awesome but there was nothing on the line post game.

2002. Whew boy. 10 losses and one tie were cut out of me like a tumor. I could breathe again. That shit felt like getting off for 2 days straight. Like after watching the taped post game sportscenter and whatever the wsyx post game was called for the 30th time over 3 days. Just when it started to get old you'd bust a mind nut again when you hear the crowd noise peak as Will Allen falls to the ground with the ball and you're like FUCK IT RUN IT BACK. Fiesta time in the Shoe. Who's ready to party Columbus?

Fuck I'm getting choked up now.
