Here's another way to look at it. The student section catches onto things and it can be hard to let it go. Just like the 1, 2, 3, 4 first down B**ch chant. Most PU fans do not like it. In fact on GBI most people that write on there have complained about both the IU sucks and the first down chant. Saying something is an entire fan base mentality because of what the students do, is false logic.
We sit in good seats for the IU game in Mackey and have for a long time. They do that hell fire IU thing even down amongst the oldsters.
One funny thing from last year's bucket game, There were a lot of Iu fans there as you know and a group of them after listening to the 1234 first down bitch...IU hit a pass on first down for a first down...they all yelled 1...first down bitch. One of the few times it was an option in the game.
