So a few months before I left I went with a friend to a University of Utah gymnastics meet. It was really interesting and those ladies are incredibly talented. However, there was so much ballyhoo about how great the University of Utah was that I began to think to myself, "hmmmm, I think someone is protesting their greatness a little too much and maybe if they have to reassure themselves of their awesomeness so much, it might be because they don't in fact think they're all that."
This is not a post about the University of Utah.
This is a post about similar goings on at Purdue University. You see, on campus and even around town, every other person you see has some form of Purdue paraphernalia on their person. I'm not exaggerating, I've been watching this phenomenon for a month now, and after careful (and scientific!) counting and measuring I have determined that it is indeed every other person. My question is, why? Are you all in danger of forgetting where you go to school? Do you think the university itself will fade away and die without your t-shirt? Or worse yet, was there some sale on Purdue paraphernalia to which I was not invited?
Purdue, why are you protesting so much?
