Cat fans are really obnoxious especially during basketball season but a very passionate fan base so I give them kuddos. They are just oblivious to anything outside of their state and the SEC. Had a couple Cat fans watch the FCS kickoff vs. Montana with me and they thought we were an NAIA team. I told them that NDSU would take down UK football rather easily and that Wentz was probably a mid round draft pick and those guys just laughed. I had to eat some crow because we lost that game but I caught up with them after the draft for a I told ya so moment.
Best of luck with your watch party. If I was still there I would definitely be there. Who knows, I get back there every now and then so I still may pop in out of the blue. Terre Haute is a little over 2 hours away and tickets are dirt cheap if you can make it. Had midfield seats first 5 rows both games I attended there.
