8325..20-25% Purdue...loud at times but took a while to get going...not as good as Shu game earlier this year
Yeah we should plan a better strategy for when a large opposing crowd comes and starts chanting. I feel like the boos didn't quite cut it. Maybe anytime that happens it auto triggers students and fans to chant let's go Rutgers or something else.
Shocking how many Purdue fans attended. Imagine a day when RU could pull off such a thing.
The way the game played out really muted. When they cheered they were loud but after the first half they didnt get much in except a loud defense chant when they were up 6 late in the game. I felt the RU crowd could have better in a close game vs #3 but I think alot didn't really believe they could pull it out
Purdue had a really nice crowd but you know they wanted to erupt but never really did. Guessing they were a bit stunned in a dog fight. Think 30 % Purdue easy. RU fans especially students do need a better reaction than booing.
Their fans weren’t at all obnoxious. Seemed kinda likable. Will root for them rest of the way. Like the black and gold color scheme.

This simply wasn't true. I was in the 300 section, and virtually everybody around me was rooting for RU. Purdue, predictably, had a good turnout as they expected to have an easy victory, but there was no way it was more than 15% of the overall crowd, and they never got a chance to dominate the noise level.
That can't be right. There are only about 2400 seats in the 300 level. No way they were almost all filled with PU fans.
Carino was right..overall including some in the 100s they made up 20-25% of crowd...they were kept in check but when they cheered you noticed how many there were
Maybe. But 2000 Purdue fans in the building is still 25%. Possible, but I think that's a high estimate. I think it was closer to 15-20%.
