Bucket Game Crowd Size

Not true. Most frats and sororities are opening Saturday.
There is one or maybe two dorms that stay open for international students.
I wouldn't be out of my mind disappointed.
But the CFP would be a super bowl for Indiana..
Even though I believe in CCC. It may never ever happen again.
Yes. People should not expect 1-loss seasons to be the norm. We could have more talented teams in the future that don't match this record.
This tournament is well within our grasp this year. I will be out-of-my-mind disappointed if we falter tomorrow and don't make the CFP.
Go Hoosiers!
I stand corrected. You are far better informed than I.
In Iowa tonight it was 20° at kickoff, with a 4th string QB playing against a 6 win Nebraska ... a FULL STADIUM
I don't want to hear any excuses not to have every seat taken tomorrow night for an 11-1 team so close to a 12 team CFP ... That's when we will find out if IU is a "football school". ... nothing else but a packed stadium tomorrow !!!!
No matter how good Coach Cig is ... 11-1 may never happen again ... the CFP might be a one time event for IU football. Just like good NFL players that played in the Super Bowl and thought they would make it back, never did ... you just don't know what will happen in the future of college football.
Even with the freezing weather I did not see anything that would slow down Rourke's passing game. Nebraska receivers were doing their normal dropped passes when wide open.
So will IU fans show up in force in cold weather and possible snow flurries?

The bucket game has only been played on the Saturday after Thanksgiving for 15 years. Before that, it was played before Thanksgiving.
19 degrees in Iowa with 69K fans listed although there were some seats in the corner empty. So it was actually <69K.
There aren’t very many good seats for sale online. Mostly corners. It really looks like scalpers bought up Purdue thinking they’d make bank and they’re losing their tail now.
Now 10,000 students might not show up. Just never know. I’m guessing 47,000.

No problem. Once upon a time the conference cared about the players getting to spend time with their families. Before they morphed into the worst employers ever.
Resale ticks are down to $13 before fees. Scalpers’ loss is your gain!
Anything less than a full house will be disappointing. Needs to be full start to finish. And the crowd should give a Guinness record book long standing ovation to the team and coaches at the end.
We had a big crowd, very big. No one's ever seen anything like it.
Wow to the crowd. Thanks for showing out!
I told all you nervous Nellie’s it was going to be a good crowd AND that t he e students would be there! I stayed to the frozen end. Wanted to see the celebration. May never see this kind of team again.
My senior at IU went to her first ever game tonight (she's not the sports type). She had a blast, and stayed the whole game. Armed with layers, blankets, and warmers (at my advice) she saw an epic beat down.
Just got back from the game , and while the weather was cold and snowy , the game itself was awesome . I stayed the whole game , and was really impressed by both our offense and defense . The Hoosiers played a dominant game on both sides of the ball . Now let’s get ready for the playoffs .
Crowd was great to start the game. Really good showing and loud. Shout out for that.
2nd half it thinned out considerably around us. And in student section definitely.
Now I’m thawing out.

Kudos to all of us fans and students who showed up and showed out tonight on what was a very cold and snowy late kickoff. When many expected a thinner crowd, myself included, it was a packed house and loud the whole game, even when only the die hards were left. Fantastic to see such a big turnout in the parking lots and the stands. There wasn't a huge difference between this one and the last few in terms of crowd size before and at the kickoff. What an amazing experience this season has been.

To the IU students and the IU fans ... you did fantastic. Snowing and a full stadium .... IMPRESSIVE !!!!
I couldn't stick it out. Left at halftime. Purdue had obviously quit. Didn't feel like punishing myself. Bad fan.
I just felt like buzz I’d heard about students requesting places open early made me think they were really excited. Gotta admit I was worried at all the last minute tickets popping up. But I knew when traffic was backed up from Martinsville on we were good. Worth every single frozen body part. ( I actually was ok thanks to all the advice here!)
Same here. Sure Cig leaves me no reason to question our capability to do this again, but history tells me it's far from a certainty. I wanted to stick around and take it in until the end.
The fake punt up 38 in the 3rd quarter cracked me up.
Right, James Carpenter's run, our starting DT gained more rushing yards on that carry then PU totaled for the entire game (18 to 13)
