not sure about playing w/o fans....but ive been to a few games, hoops and football-----trust me, aint no love loss there. You think IU fans were nasty to UK? Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Go to an IU/ pu game. I mean now dont ge wrong, its not some free for all, jersey bar fight. ive met a ton of great Purdue fans....but it can, and does, get heated. Especially at football games. Tailgating can be quite the entertainment.Yep. IU and PU has passion. Did they not play a game without fans one year?
Edit: i umpired Purdue/IU before. even for baseball, its a street fight. all 3 games we had multiple bench warnings, had to shut down shit talk......i worked 1st base for first game, and man the shit id hear??? Wow. At times you felt every pitch was gonna find someones ear hole...
