    Purdue fans having been saying it for years.

    New IU football coach Curt Cignetti had a response on his first day on the job.

    Cignetti was introduced to the crowd at the IU men’s basketball game against Maryland on Friday evening in Bloomington.

    He made a few remarks to the crowd, including this, which fired up the crowd and made waves across social media:

    “I’ve never taken a back seat to anybody and don’t plan on starting now,” Cignetti said. “Purdue sucks, but so does Michigan and Ohio State! Go IU!”

    Win the crowd Curt. Win the crowd. #iufb pic.twitter.com/bKym92h4zh
