I did see several people in the stands wearing their Clown pants. Again it looked like the Ringling Brothers Three Ring Circus.

Any Purdue fan could have told you all about this :)I was stunned at what douche bags most of the Indiana fans were tonight. Arrogant dickbaga. (Aside from the fact that most of the girls looked like Holstein cows.)
Fans react to what is happening at a given point in time.Sanders in the first ten minutes did not score and that was a main reason for the double digit Indiana lead.At the last eight minutes of the first half Sanders and Freeman led Rutgers all the way back to a lead which they maintained for most of the second half.Sanders is the best player on the team and he gets the applause and the criticism based on how he and the team is performing.Its human nature how fans react to good and bad times.Anyone who watched Corey last night and thinks he sucks shouldn't have the right to discuss basketball.
I had one in my Dunkin Donuts this morning who was a real jerk. He kept insisting no way RU beat Minnesota Wednesday.Penn State fans were generally nasty as well.
You would have a really, really, REALLY difficult time convincing the average Maryland fan that Rutgers and Maryland should be rivals.good, we need another rivalry! If we could make something of PSU, MD, and Indy that would be great.
(unlike football, I happen to like the PSU bball team).
Exactly correct.. IU BBALL is a cult. They do think they are basketball royalty.. and one time they were. Sad thing is I suspect the General (Knight) won without cheating using boot camp discipline.. which has gone out of style.

Indiana is one weird place. Creepiest state in the union IMO.
I will say that overall. the atmosphere is different with the Big 10 schools than with the Big East schools, cannot exactly put my finger on it but there is a noticable difference. Overall attendance was quite strong for a 2nd round game and this tourney is already a success before it even has hit the quarterfinals...Delaney vindicated.
Yes, understand the feeling. It would have to build if we could challenge them for important standings in fb, bb, and lax. Will/would definitely take time to build. Plus no natural hate there.You would have a really, really, REALLY difficult time convincing the average Maryland fan that Rutgers and Maryland should be rivals.
I think Maryland fans would look at Rutgers as just another conference game on the schedule that they want to win because it's a conference game but not because it's rival. Probably similar to how they looked at Wake Forest or Clemson or Georgia Tech back when Maryland was in the ACC
?We still owe IU a couple more beatings for the loss in 1976.
Agreed. Among other things, few realize that the KKK was as influential there as it was in Alabama back in the day. I had a meeting in a manufacturing plant there year's ago and even in the '90s they were marveling that I was an Eye-talian. Never seen one of those before!
yet Indiana dies for NJ and other northeast h.s. students to attend their school
Curious as to where this plant was. I can say a couple things regarding your perception of the state. There are certainly areas that might meet this description, and even more so the further back you go, but I've lived here my entire life and I think those places are maybe a few average-sized towns in the southern part of the state. Indianapolis and the northern half of the state have never really been like that to my recollection.
I went onto the IU free board, 90+% of the posts claim we’re terrible, horrible, worse team in the B1G, and they were not ready, played like sh*t, they beat us by 35 in our building, that Sanders only move is dribble in, quick switch to the right for a fade jump shot.Even after losing IU fans can't get over the fact Sanders and Geo outplayed IU guards in every way tonight. Instead, they are reaching for any and every excuse to fool themselves into thinking the game was a fluke. It's all so funny to hear this. I recall reading the same sh*t on Minnesota's board as well as Wisconsin's board too.[roll][roll][roll][cheers]
Have you read or heard anything from IU fans?
Wait until they find out that the equipment crew forgot to pack them.I think not wearing their red and white striped pants when they came out last night came back to haunt them.
I’m sure the Rutgers fans were all yelling for NW. I was (hoping hey would win)stunning.
they love admitting NJ kids
Well....that Sanders only move is dribble in, quick switch to the right for a fade jump shot.
More fans in their school colors, from what I recall, and not as many "subway alumni" types/lurkers OTHER THAN, from what I could tell watching yesterday, Michigan's "Walmart" fans. Lots of people cheering for them BUT very light on "Hail To The Victors." I mean we kinda already know this about them, anyway, just pointing it out.
It sounds like whatIU fans were salty last night for sure! It was entertaining to watch. The smug giddiness early on by a few sitting near us quickly turned to frustration and disbelief.
Heading back tonight and hoping our fans show up... weather be damned!
