Do we even have any? Its hard to tell really. Whenever we scored or had a huge defensive stop bout the only people that where yelling or clapping or showing any signs of not being dead where the students. Now I know the students are by default going to be more boisterous than the average older fan, but for crying out loud I saw so few people especially on the east side barely moving. IF the only noise we have comes from students then how bad is that. Do all we have as fans besides students are a bunch of old geezers on living on retirment? Sure seemed that way. Maybe I'm over reacting and it was just that we were facing Ohio and what not.

Maybe if you'd take your headphones off during the game, you might hear the others cheering. And how would you expect to hear others when you are sitting in the middle of the crazy students?

This wouldn't be the same falconboy who was in the chat room during the first half of the OU game and then left at about 7:30 to go "watch a real team play" would it?

No I was never in the chatroom yesterday. I was the game from start to finish. And no I never though of leaving to see OSU vs Penn St. , though I'm glad that ole Jo Pa took the Buckeys down.

And Metzger as far as me with the headphones I didn't have them on the whole time. I was looking for movment rather than sound since yeah I was in the midst of all noise down there with you. It just didn't look like people were even reacting to the game when we had big plays. I would see a couple of people clapping here and mabe someothers banging a few thundersticks together , but as a whole the whole east side looked kinda dead. Plus this is something I've noticed at other games too. I dont know , maybe my eyes are going bad or I'm just seeing things. Hopefully thats the case.

I thik we ahve become spoiled. We expect to blow everybody out. That makes for so uninteresting games to be honest. So when the games are not blowouts, a lot of fans are just mad that the game is even close and forget to cheer.

Complaining to complain at this point eh. I can understand being upset at special teams play, no doubt there were problems there, but crowd noise. ~15K people showed up, with a large part of the students missing. I know for a fact UK and I were up and down the whole game, add do that the fact that both of us had very raw voices on the drive home today. I saw Noel and his group up and down the whole time has well (1st and 1o do it again, eh). The section around me was loud and cheering and up and down. Also why are you complaining about noise, and then correlating it to movement. In all my studies of sensory systems and processing I must have missed the visual component of noise. They tried there best to be loud on OU third downs, and went wild at big plays. Be happy about a good win, and quit looking for something to complain about. [/i]

My voice is still raw. I yell to the point where a normal person would be embarassed.

I was yelling in my apartment in Arizona. Does that count?

yea...I thought the Ohio fans were louder than BG, and that was kinda sad since there werent many

I couldn't hear the crowd noise. But then again, I was on-line in the chatroom where the group about about a dozen of us including falconboy's conscience, eight four year olds in the next room celebrating my daughter's "loot" and the voices in my head were playing metallica.

It was a good night.

Crowd noise was awesome at homecoming. I imagine when you have an older crowd, the noise will be a little less. You mellow as you age from what I hear.

Falconboy was at the game...the entire time. If you ever sign into the chatroom, you know you can type another name besides your screen name. Kind of sucks that other people would use other names besides their own but what can ya do?

personally i think we(somebody) needs to get the student body more excited about even attending games .....no i dont really have any good ideas right now.....any thoughts?

Jesus Christ people, it was Fall Break. Just one week earlier students filled the West side. The coaches recognized this and were impressed with attendance none the less.

Where were all the alumni, town citizens, etc.?

If you don't want students to miss games, contact the University about getting rid of Fall Break. I'd venture to say that the staff will have serious objections to it.

Can we just accept a victory and get ready for next week without bitching every time something isn't perfect?

i am a student myself and yes temple game was awesome....but it was homecoming also. Im not blaming anyone, I just think that if anyone would take the initiative to come up with something to draw even more student interest, we could have an awesome turn-out every game.
