As an avid fan and student at IU, myself, as well as 40,000 other Hoosiers, have a strong hatred towards the other B1G school in the state of Indiana. We don’t want to hear any more about your engineering school and what even is a boilermaker? In fact, I can think of at least 51 things I would rather do than go to school in West Lafayette. Here are just a few of them. Boiler Down.
