This, one-thousand times this.Folks who were not around during the heyday of the Rivals college bball message boards, which i would say is from around 2003 to 2014 (give or take a few years), don't really appreciate how bad Indiana fans are, at least on message boards, because they have been relatively silent for several years for obvious reasons. Louisville, Kansas, Duke, and UNC fans don't even hold a candle, and you can add UK fans to that list. I've always said that you can't characterize different fanbases because they are all basically the same and are made up of the same cross-section of people for the most part. But for whatever reason, Indiana message board fans were exponentially more vile than any other fanbase. The only one that even came close were Connecticut fans.
The most classless program in all of college basketball, has been for decades. I hate Indiana so bad and I love that they are so terrible.
i give wvu fans a pass because they don’t have the internet yet.Yeah,those fans are terrible...
I'd put West Virginia a close 2nd..
Poor babies. They hear " who's your daddy" enough, it makes them crazy.i give wvu fans a pass because they don’t have the internet yet.
Agreed. I tried to explain it to my wife last night when you could hearing them yelling on TV. The only word I could think of was psychotic. They have droves of conspiracy theories about UK. Many, many things I had never even heard of as a lifelong UK fan, and the first argument point out of any IU fan VS UK always has to do with racism. That’s their lead in and the their fall back. Most of them are absolutely convinced that we have always and we continue to cheat and pay off officials and players. Whoever I ask them about the players that we do not get, and that if we were offering them money, why don’t they squeal when they get to their chosen school, they can only shrug and say that we continue to pay them to silence them...THEY ARE PSYCHO.Folks who were not around during the heyday of the Rivals college bball message boards, which i would say is from around 2003 to 2014 (give or take a few years), don't really appreciate how bad Indiana fans are, at least on message boards, because they have been relatively silent for several years for obvious reasons.

It’s no small wonder Cal said adios to Indiana and has never looked back. Coincidentally, their program has taken a sharp nosedive. Hmmm.Horrific things were said to UK players and family members last time UK played in Assembly. Nobody wanted to believe it.
Who remembers "Walsh is gay!" at Rupp!!
Living in Toledo, I would add oSU Football fans to any derogatory list !!Folks who were not around during the heyday of the Rivals college bball message boards, which i would say is from around 2003 to 2014 (give or take a few years), don't really appreciate how bad Indiana fans are, at least on message boards, because they have been relatively silent for several years for obvious reasons.

At the time Creepy Crean also said he was fine with a vulgar student section. Didn't work out so well for him.It’s no small wonder Cal said adios to Indiana and has never looked back. Coincidentally, their program has taken a sharp nosedive. Hmmm.
Not even half as vulgar as Maryland fans. They were chanting that they screwed redicks sister

Never heard about that but that’s about as stupidly low as you can go.I think the worst, most classless chants I’ve heard were from Arizona St fans in 1988. Steve Kerr’s father was assassinated in Beirut in 1984 & the ASU fans taunted Kerr & chanted things like “P-L-O”, “you’re father’s history” & “go back to Beirut & join the marines.” Kerr had to come out of the game & sit down to regain his composure. It doesn’t get much more despicable than that, IMO.
Yeah, I get why Cal doesn't want to go back there after how I heard they treated our fans in 2012. I mean he agreed to play them in Indy that should be good enough. No one wants to go to that ******** barn filled with Hoosiers. Dam. all that embarrassment and they still lose. Brooks, it's ok you don't have to try to save those turds. Come on down.Horrific things were said to UK players and family members last time UK played in Assembly. Nobody wanted to believe it.
Yep. And I remember Mitch stopping it. He was standing by the student section in the tunnel.Who remembers "Walsh is gay!" at Rupp!!
Yes. Last I knew, there were still videos of that on You tube.This video also included "F Kentucky, F, F, Kentucky but was edited out. Savage lowlifes.
Or Wichita St. coach's wife...Yeah,those fans are terrible...
I'd put West Virginia a close 2nd..
