5 and out?????

[bobsboy84]

Did I see a 5 and out from Davis to Oordt on third and thirteen? Kind of like the 4th and 15 at the end of the SFA game?

Also, first time for me seating in the NE corner. Wow, downer crowd; is this normal for this area? Whole dome seemed a little quiet.

Yes, you did. I thought the same thing about the quick out to Oordt.

I heard the same thing about last nights crowd - was told the 12k a couple weeks ago was much better than the nearly 15k this week. Family weekend will do that to the dome. It spreads out the students and brings in people who don't yet know our traditions / when to get loud.

I hate how it often seems like I'm the only one yelling/cheering (like, during early downs of second half defensive series).

Of course those around me probably hate how I'm always yelling loudly like that.
Oh well, they'll just have to deal with it.

I was told during the game yesterday to stop yelling so much and so loudly during the games..."for the kids that he had with him". I think they are his grandkids. One of them got up and was yelling during the game and he made him sit down. He did say he "appreciated my entusiasm", though. I politely declined his request, by the way. I also offered to switch seats with him and his family so that they could sit behind me and not listen. And I was sincere about it, not trying to be a jerk. They sit in the front row and we are in row 4. This was all before he did his usual exit at the 10 minute mark of the 4th quarter.

I also hate how the student section also thinned out in the second half.

That really upset me too, the dome fans seemed like we were loosing the game and had given up.

The Dome WAS exceptionally quiet for the size of crowd in attendance.

Re: 5 and out?????

That always happens on family weekend. There have been a few family weekends in the past where it was standing room only, but most of them are a quiet crowd. And as for leaving at half - gotta go out to dinner with the folks and then head home to watch the Iowa game. Too often this happens.
Sitting with parents, people not used to being at a college football game - quiet dome. Let's hope HOmecoming is ROCKIN! (let's hope there's a great reason to be rockin' because we've come back from a 2 game road trip with 2 wins!)
