Re: Best Crowd
I can honestly say i'm a fan of LvC.My mom graduated from their in 1980,and still supports their many sports that they have there.Therefore,i would consider myself a fan of their team,since i don't root against them,and cheer them on to beat other teams i consider myself a fan of LvC sports.
So just because a team is under .500,they don't have fans? even though their averaging 175 people give or take this season,thats still fans right?
What if their are LvC fans on here(ie.ICEKING),that just don't post on here(often or not) or haven't registerd to be on the forums.Maybe their just looking at what people say on here.
Utica finished under .500 last season.I still support them.
Go Devils!

Re: Best Crowd
Haha I was born and raised in Menomonie making me a "townie". After hockey practice from elementary school on, the Stout games were after practice. I've been apart of the DA without even knowing it until the DA was actually formed.
I always wanted to grow up and play hockey for Stout. Of course injuries
held me back from reaching that dream. So I've always been a fan of Stout hockey. Being a "townie" has nothing to do with it. I've seen the losing seasons and I'm always coming back for more hoping that this season will be the one, if not I'll come back next year and so on.

Re: Best Crowd
Is it possible to manage disorder, or is it on order, once managed
So, are the best crowds at the pre-game tailgate or the post-game parties?

How do we know if we are one of Webb's alter ego's or one of BDR's? What if they are alter egos of each other?
This is a certain identity crisis.

Re: Best Crowd
I followed all of the suckage CSS put up since '95, when most people go to the UMD games here. Then again, I guess that's an exception, because my dad always went to the games as the team doctor.
However, I'll bet there are at least a few supporters of those worst teams that follow their losing teams quite a bit closer than most. It is pretty nice, though, when your team starts winning.

Re: Reminiscing
If all a student section does is cheer their team, it doesn't have that big an impact on the opponents. But once visiting players begin to notice / react to the crowd, the home field advantage is decidedly and exponentially increased.
Unfortunately, that type of behavior, language, etc usually crosses some boundaries between what is deemed appropriate for college vs fan-friendly propriety.
In the non PC days, I always carried a concealed weapon when visiting RIT, Cortland, Oswego and even Geneseo ... just in case. Now, I'm pushing up against the AARP barrier, and feel quite safe anywhere I've been in the last 10 years.
Too bad. I kinda miss the stimulation;}
Re: Reminiscing
My primary criterion for being a 'good student section' is having an impact on the opposing players' collective psyche and visiting fans - an atmosphere that basically creates the 'fight or flight' intimidation response. Essentially what Fritz stated, but in terms that I don't use.

Re: Best Crowd
and the fact that half the students in the crowd are drunk anyway or sneak drinks into the stands.
Re: Best Crowd
I've been a fan of NU hockey since I arrived in Northfield in 1980. Certainly since the arrival of McShane, it's been a lot more fun, but still there are people who follow a team year in and year out, following the ups and the downs which is a really good thing to do. Certainly Krietzberg has made it a lot more comfortable to be an NU fan, but I remember going in to the snack bar in Taylor arena to warm up, but it's the game and the competition that matters ultimately, not that it's not a whole lot more fun to follow a winning team.

Re: Reminiscing
Ok, I agree that the SNC student section is lame. But please don't blame the students for all of that. We used to have a good student section, but when the AD starts kicking people out for just shouting "You [stink]" or yelling anything derogatory at a ref, students quickly learn to sit on their hands...or stop attending and wasting $4 on a ticket. I'm all for having some limits on student section activities, but our AD takes it to an extreme. (So don't entirely blame SNC's student section for being "lame." We just prefer not to get escorted out by a rent-a-cop for booing too loudly.)
