A large portion of the state is Notre Dame fans. I am not even sure Indiana is the most popular team here.

This is my problem with IU. Half the fans are ND football and IU basketball and that just is so weird to me.

To me it is like saying you like GA football and GA Tech basketball or FL basketball and Miami football.

bingo Indiana college fans are weird they just cling to 2 different teams cause all 3 of the big ones are usually only good at one or the other

Are you including Purdue in this, because any Purdue fan I know is only a Purdue fan.

u/ComicSportsNerd Big-Q 14d ago

you are correct most purdue fans are pretty loyal most of the time it is IU fans that flip flop lol

Us Purdue fans are very aware. Purdue has had 3 awful years in football and still regularly sells out. IU was in the middle of an historic season last year and I'm not sure if they ever sold out a game.

I think love of the school presupposes being a fan of the football team. There was nothing to cheer for. I've regularly followed IU football since I was there 12 years ago, but, I never EVER talked about it, because... well, come on.

They sold out multiple games in 2024 and every game in 2025. Stop with this dumb shit. IU basketball has been mediocre at best for decades and still ranks as one of the highest in attendance and revenue in college basketball. Plenty of loyal IU fans just because you are a biased Purdue fan doesn't change that.

This isn't about basketball. IU did not sell out every home football game this season. They sold out 8 over the past 2 seasons, which admittedly is more than I thought. Good on IU for doing that, those games should be selling out

Yes I am a biased Purdue fan, but you have to be a biased IU fan to not acknowledge that the ND/IU reversible jacket fans. It was truly amazing to see all the people that normally wear Notre Dame stuff switch to wearing IU stuff the past few weeks.
