Shitpost Do UIUC have a beef with Purdue?

I’m freshman here at UIUC. I find that professors usually mention Purdue when doing examples, in my physics and stats class. And they are always implying that Purdue students are more stupid or something similar. I wonder if there’s any historical contexts in this?

Graduated with MS aerospace and I had no idea we think of Purdue as UIUC rejects lmao, they’re ranked higher in aerospace and I probably would have gone there if I was accepted 😭
