I have been an IU fan for over 4 decades, and I have traveled with the IU fan base many times. It's a very large and an amazing fan base, especially considering there's been an essentially 25 year dip. If someone wants to dog a fan base because of a few idiots, they have that right, but it's not the best thought process. Also if you have a fan base as large as ours that 2% is still a large amount of people. Overall though I think it speaks to the rest of us...if we see this poor behavior speak out against it. Stand up to those internet idiots that are tearing down these kids. There is a difference in speaking about underperforming or discussing mistakes and absolutely tearing into a kids character or hounding a kid and taking personal shots at them. Let’s do the right thing...see something say something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you think our fans are negative check out Rupp Rafters after a loss. It's like the IU rivals board x infinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Kentucky Im fully aware of how bad they are...they eat their own and even the good ones are forgotten in a year or two. I’m just saying we have a huge fan base so yes there are plenty of bad apples out there...and when we see people running down our boys...we should speak out.

Unfortunately I’ve lived here the past 15 years but you could never say a more hurtful thing to me. It’s awful living down here and listening to the avg idiots who have never even played basketball talk about it like they know what is going on. I’ve grew up and lived in southwestern Indiana most of my life...I’m fair minded and very objective but I bleed cream and crimson like the rest of you.

IU Scott Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Don't look good at all with all of these guys saying UK. I thought with TJD going all the way up there for the announcement it was a good sign but looks like he will be going up there for nothing. Also if I were TJD coach I would not be happy him traveling all the way up to Fort Wayne for an 8pm announcement the day before a huge game.

Ib4IU Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Could it be they’ve been putting out now for several weeks how it’s been the comments of IU fans to try and tame the “beast” for when he commits to UK. It could be an “I told you so” if he commits to UK and there are negative comments. Easy to pull from thousands of fans a few responses to fit whatever narrative you’re trying to write.
