OSU game environment

Maybe there’s more context to it but did anyone else think when the little OSU band played their school song it was super lame? Anything is better than the damn Boomer Sooner song but all I could think about was that scene from family guy

If they didn't assault our fans on the way out. I'm fine with their band being there.
 
They run cables above the field.

I was at a fundraiser, fortunately the game was on one of the TVs so I could look up and check out some plays. You could tell JTS was rocking by how shaky it was on camera.
That place must have erupted when they measured that last 4th down for OSU
I guess that would be the way to do it! A drone would be too dangerous with all the people crowded together!
 
The crowd flipped a switch after the taunting call. Great atmosphere in the 3rd/4th.

That call was a blessing in disguise. OSU had a possession in the first half where the stadium was about as quiet as it is when we have the ball. The crowd was deflated by the success OSU was having moving the ball. Even the students had gone quiet.

It all changed after the taunting call.

Just watched the replay. I loved it when the crowd erupted after the official measurement and the camera was shaking so bad the announcer asked if the camera was clamped down.

With the size of our crowds and the passion (including a little tailgate beverages) there is no reason we should wait for a bad call to be loud when the opposing team has the ball. Why do we wait until third down to yell?

I loved yesterday after the bad call. My only complaints after the bad call was trying to start ”Cyclone - Power” when WE had the ball and storming the field (we need to start acting like beating a ranked team is expected).

The boos immediately after our play was over Ed followed by silence once we got in formation was great. Reminded me of several basketball games in the 80s when we would boo loudly when a flop happy point guard had the ball and go silent the second he passed it only to boo again when he got it back.

It still amazes me that people get upset about field storming. It’s fun to do and doesn’t hurt anything.

Pretty sure this is every football crowd in the country. It's just natural to get up and yell a little louder on third down. Unless it's a huge game or the 4th quarter of a close game, the crowd isn't going to go nuts on every down for four hours.
 
Sitting on the west side and looking to north end zone, it was hard to tell that the chip shot field goal was no good. Folks in SEZ saw it right away and their isolated roar soon enveloped the entire stadium. Jack Trice and surroundings just look more big time every time I come back. So cool it was a tight tense game between two of the angry 8. Stewart Mandel and other snarky national writers who put down the Big XII and say we have no future can go screw themselves.
 
The final play (not counting kneel-downs) was so close to the 1st down line I have no idea if he made it or not. But the ruling on the field was short, and there was no clear video angle to show anything indisputably different. So I think it was proper to let the call stand (how many times does it feel like we've been on the short end of that before???).

Also -- did anyone else feel like the head ref intentionally paused to build tension???

The call on the field stands. 1st down Iowa State."

I noticed the crowd's late reaction while watching on TV. It was pretty clear off his foot from our angle, which is the angle you mentioned. That was a huge play.

Well said brother. That's how I feel too.
 
The sound in sec B wow, felt like torture, never again, is it any better elsewhere? I enjoyed hearing the ISU band over the TV vs KSU, I wish they would pipe the band over the PA instead of whatever they were playing, Im even fine with what they play but the band should get equal time over the PA but the quality is just so bad. Never again on the upper deck North side for me.

Everyone saying OSU's defense is very good at mixing things up really making it hard for the quarterback to know what's coming. Hopefully the crowd stays fired up throughout, even if there are lulls because Brock is human...there will be challenges on offense. Just win, baby.


You take that back!!!!!

Sound system was much more reasonable this time to me up in section E. Maybe the wind direction?
