Anyone see the Bands Fight?

[Rockport Zebra]

Many years ago, the two bands were in the south endzone waiting for the half. A full-blown brawl erupted. Our Tuba section smashed the Boiler Head.

Corso era? Before?

I do not recall this at all. Now I personally know an IU football player who was in a brawl on the field with Boilermaker Pete, took Pete's hammer from him, and used it on Pete smashing the hammer through the mascot's head. The player was arrested for the incident. To this day he re-tells the story and we laugh about the incident.

Ha, I wish there was video of that.

I recall an IU player in a foot cast swinging his crutch at a Purdue player. There was also a year their “largest” drum was pelleted with a frozen rain of snowballs. Bucket games are usually extra fun, supercharged with energy the way a game with your arch rival should always be. POTFB!
