    We thought this was a very cool moment too. I wonder if the singers realized what was going on. Very classy!

      Do all UNI fans have "tunnel vision" ? Luckily for all involved the refs didn't see the actions on the field as one-sided as you posters have retold " the tales from Chatt." The game was excellent the two teams played their hearts out, The coaches had both teams very well prepared, the venue could not have been much better, yet all I am hearing are stories of a few bad apples. ASU fans out numbered UNI's 4 to 1. So it was harder to hide these bad apples.

        A little generous with the numbers, me thinks! Go gloat on your own board...

          So because you had more fans that makes it alright for your fans to act like jerks.

          Congrats to you and your team.

            No Sir!!!! not at all, I was only saying that with more fans, it was harder to hide the unruly ones. Honestly, I met/spoke with/drank with a dozen or so UNI fans, I never heard a negative word spoken. Pregame or Postgame. Even as I held an elevator for a lady in a full length purple coat, She made the comment that she had never met a nicer group of people. I am not condoning any of the rude and out of place things that I have read on this site. I do ask that you not judge all of us based on the irresponsible actions of a few of us.

              It wasn't even 2 to 1. 4 to 1 is a gross overstatement. As to the refs...let's not get that started again, they missed some pretty obvious calls...

                Yep. I was proud at that moment as well. It started slowly but quickly became a mass thing... singing the anthem full throated!

                  MrEvents seems to skip anything I post, but I will suggest this for improvements anyway. I think they should have some kind of PA system so the band can be heard by fans on the entire side. I was sitting in section 209, the same side of the stadium as the UNI band, but they might as well have not been there. I could not hear them. I am sure those ASU fans who sat on the same side as the ASU band, but at the other end of the stadium would state the same. If there were a PA system set up in front of the band on both sides of the field, fans could hear the bands, cheers, etc. It would make it far more fun.

                      I noticed that too. We could hear ASU band clearly, but was a struggle to hear our band. I had a hard time hearing them play the school song. Any way to pipe sound system so you can hear your respective bands?

                        would guess that the ASU fans heard the Panther Marching Band very clearly on their side as well. The bands were facing forward and basically playing to the field. We heard their band...I bet they heard ours

                              You are probably one of those clowns on AGS wanting Appy to go D-IA. Good luck in the Crane Urinal Bowl against Akron.

                                Appsolutely not!!!! As a fan, I would rather have an annual opportunity at a legitimate playoff appearance, than a "once every ten years" shot at a third tier bowl game
