woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 I went to Illinois Loyalty for some amusing reading. A thread on rivalries caught my eye. Many say IU is one of their biggest. A lot of Illinois fans in my area say the same thing. I usually tell them that except for IU fans who grew up in Illinois they don't even stiff the top 3. What are your thoughts? http://www.illinoisloyalty.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=23906 Sent from my SM-G930V using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Don’t think you guys are really rivals. Just was a short-term thing due to Gordon. ElectricBoogaloo and thebigweave 2 Quote

HoosierAloha Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Growing up in SoIN, I always thought of puke as our 1-3 biggest rival. I never really got the pu rivalry until I went to IU. It still feels a bit different as they're only thoughts are about IU. I think with CAM running the show we'll see a renewed rivalry with pu and MSU. We'll be going after similar recruits as MSU. pu will be getting the instate leftovers. Regional rivalries over the years have been Ill, O$U, MSU, and UM.

LockdownD Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Lot of bad blood between Knight and Henson. Knight called Henson out for cheating and Henson referred to Knight as " a big bully." Coach Knight had a shouting match with Henson's wife after the game that had Nick Anderson hit the game winner against us. It was senior day and Knight made reference to our opponent breaking NCAA rules and Mrs. Henson took offense. She was escorted out. ALASKA HOOSIER and Josh 2 Quote

Hoosierfan2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Notre Dame fans are more of the "snobby" type from my experiences. thebigweave 1 Quote
HoosierAloha Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 I feel like pu tries to push the rivalry too much. The "IU sucks" chants when pu is playing directional U just screams obsessed little brother. Hopefully, playing twice in basketball each year with good teams should help the rivalry. Playing only once a year and each side having bad years in the recent past hasn't helped. I also look for CAM to bring back the game against puke. I feel sorry for pu favs but I hate everything puke represents, sans winning. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners CR3AMnCR1MS0N, thebigweave, Iugradman and 1 other 4 Quote
LamarCheeks Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 I grew up in Indiana, and have a half-IU, half-PU family. So for me, PU-IU trumps all other rivalries. But that's just me. Hutch89 and cthomas 2 Quote

I don’t like fans like that either. You either root for your school or you don’t. Picking and choosing sports at different schools just doesn’t sit right with me.
