[QUOTE="sacraig, post: 1433131, member: 586845"] The bolded statements contradict each other. Without stats, it's just an unsubstantiated claim and not "well-documented." The one person we do have that claims to have looked into this as part of his job (as far as I know) is Alex Roux in his role for BTN, and according to him, there is no notable difference between our fan base and other fan bases in the Big Ten online. At the very least, if we are going by people's claims not supported by direct statistics, I will choose to believe the guy who at least does this as part of his job. Twitter (and Facebook and Snapchat and...) in general is ugly. Fan bases, especially the passionate ones, can get ugly. The marriage of the two is ugly. This is not an Illinois problem. I'd love to clean it up, but I'd also love to stop pretending this is somehow unique to us. [/QUOTE]
