for the visiting team when they are on offense for sure. I think the Auburn game was as loud as I have heard since we beat Notre Dame at Legion Field the day Bennett made “The Sack.” It was also pretty loud when UF played in BDS in 2005 and you see what happened that day. We will only have 1/2 or less of the dome, but it is easy to make noise inside. I think Clemson this year was pretty loud, but we can do better.

five yard delay penalties; early snaps; linemen jumping; failed audibles; failure of the opposing team to know what the D is calling…all of these matter.

this makes Rammer Jammer look like a lullaby…

then it probably does…

…a huge difference. It encourages the home team while often confusing and/or disheartening the visiting team. A no-brainer, but always good to revisit (especially if you have a big upcoming game at a neutral site with a fan base that travels well and likes to wear crimson…hypothetically speaking).

The way it makes OUR players feel. After a great play, when they hear 92,500+ go crazy, do you think they think their hard work has paid off?

I think THAT’S why Coach wants us to cheer loudly; for support for the team. After the hell he has put them through while getting ready for the season, a night like Saturday was their reward.

Keep the volume high….

Roll Tide Roll

^nice…

Being loud in the stadium probably helps recruit too. If our stadium is louder and has better intangibles than that will have some impact on where players decide to play. I like to think that me being loud is doing a little part to win now and to win in the future.

with everyone. i definitely believe its important. i’ve thought it was a part of the process before we knew about The Process. i am a yeller from way back. As a matter of fact i often offer the following verbal disclaimer to the folks i sit around “i’m a screamer and often come down with a case of turrets during the game. any problem with that?” if they do, i try to move. I think it’s good for the team, good for recruiting as P&G mentioned, and dangit it makes ME feel good. I WANT to be a part of what makes our team great and yelling, participating in the cheers, singing the fight song, and doing rammer jammer at the top of my lungs makes me feel like i contributed. i love that today is tuesday and i still don’t have my full voice back. AND i was at Egan’s, not the stadium. (the girl in front of me is very glad she wore earplugs).

on a side note, i hate booing. i wish we were totally silent when another team enters our turf or just sang the fight song as if they didn’t exist. JMO!!

its all about Momentum.
When the crowd can pump up your team and overwelm the other, the answer is simple. If we could get BDS to the level CNS wants it, and play like we have been playing……we would be a scary team to face.
    I think some of the problem is the brats in the student section that don’t even show up and leave empty seats but won’t give their ticket.

that voted no or don’t care are the ones continuesly going back and forth blocking my view of the game or your flapping your gums during the game. Ya’all just need to give your tickets to someone who enjoys the game and stay at the country clubs!

I’m a Turkish bama fan (two kinds of crimson, really), and it was kind of weird to see someone referencing Turkish soccer on a bama board. Awesome, but weird. That being said, Galatasaray (the team that plays at Ali Sami Yen stadium) went undefeated at home for several years because of their crazy fans… I’m not sure if that means we should start lighting flares and flipping out, but it couldn’t hurt.

Also, this may just be me, but I’m really happy everyone keeps picking Florida to win… CNS knows how to motivate people, and the entire world picking you to lose even though you haven’t all year is more than enough material to get our boys going.

Roll Tide.
