The Transfer of Power

[Uncle TubaCat]

I was talking with my sock puppet. He's stoked for this Saturday's game.

Why does this not surprise me, coming from you.

Back to the chant - wow, that brings back great memories!! It was so incredible hearing that chant get going in the Dome! And as for the penalty, I could totally be wrong, but for some reason I want to say that we (the crowd) were warned by the officials at one point in the 90's during that period? Maybe I am just crazy and making things up - anyone else from around then remember that?

One Team, One Goal - let's go for it!

[Panther Fan]

I don't ever remember an actual penalty being called. I do remember that the QB could come out from under center and tell the ref that it was too loud and then there would be a warning from the ref which would result in the crowd getting even louder when the QB got back under center. I don't think I've seen that happen in a long time.

Yeah, I definitely remember it just getting louder and louder the more the QB had to step out. You could see the panic! Man, that was an incredible atmosphere in that Dome! Today the students get the luxury of picking up tickets ahead of time. We just had to show up 3-4 hours before game time, wait in the freezing cold unless we were lucky enough to get let inside to sit and wait for the ticket people to come scan our IDs. Then it was a MAD dash for the seats. Ahhh, memories!

But anyway-One Team, One Goal!

Normally there aren't advance tickets for students. They just show up and get their IDs scanned, I think. This is probably the first time in a long time that they've had to do that for football.

And aren't the student tickets still general admission? so there still could be a mad dash for seats.

but I'm not a student, so I can't say for certain on either account.

[esauser]

Yes, the student tickets are general admission for the east side below concourse level (except where the band is). Sections D,E, and F are for the student general admission tickets. And no, as students, we do not normally get tickets. However, we are supposed to get a ticket for the next home game as well vs youngstown state... I already have mine.

I remember the mad dash. I remember a girl falling flat on her face and nobody helping her up.

The revolving doors used to be locked until about 90 minutes before kick off.....

Watching Shedd catch punts before the game as 92.3 blasted country music always made me laugh.....

[PurpleCatFan]

I hope some of the fans on the east side are ready to stand up during the game......because the students will be on their feet!

I'm all for the student body being there in full force, standing, and cheering during the entire game.....so let's get ready to make some noise and create a great Game Day atmosphere.

Let the chant begin.....

[UNI Fight]

PR ....Does the cheerleaders/Spirit Squad have signs for this or not???? If not it would be great if they could get made up before the game.

No, the cheer leaders do not have "one team, one goal" signs.

What if we started a new chant one side yells "panther" the other "power" do you think people would get behind that?

[pantherclaw]

HMMM.....maybe someone should go out to the NI on the field while the band is forming/in the tunnel, and get it started. Kinda what they do at ISU(yeah yeah I know don't be like ISU) but i think that would be the best way. JMO

[TCuni]

I tried to get that instituted with signs last year (Panther Power), but higher ups thought it was too much like "Cyclone Power" that they do before their games. Agreed.
If somebody wanted to pony up and have professional signs made for the "one team-one goal" thing, we would be more than glad to get it done, but our budget isn't exactly through the roof. Actually, we do all of our own fundraising. If I don't hear anything from anybody regarding this, I may just make a couple of hand-made signs. Somewhat like my "Champs" sign that I made on the fly after beating SIU in '05.

Speaking of across the field chants, I was at the Mizzou vs Nebraska game that involved the kicked ball up in the air as time expired for nebraska's game tying touchdown. Missouri does an across the field chant one side M-I-Z the other side Z-O-U. That day is the only time i've ever heard a stadium louder than the Dome. I've attended big games in Kinnick, Jack Trice, and at a few other college stadiums. So I challenge the fans this weekend to be much louder than the crazy folks down in Columbia MO were that day.

Geez!! Did you have to walk 5 miles up hill both ways too??

What I vividly remember as a kid attending games with my dad in the 80s were dozens of tan hide-skin "bags" with spouts on the end that held beverages. After every TD they would be tossed around. I assumed the students were bringing in water, soda or milk.

I was at the game last Saturday against Nebraska. The crowd was as loud as I think I've ever heard it.

Oh, and I don't think I saw any MU fans leave in the 3rd quarter!
