        I admit that #10 got away with two arm bars, but it does not excuse Kyles.

        Now that I think about it, the Shockers should have lost by 15-20 points because they played so poorly.

          Unfortunately, reason will rarely change some individual's beliefs, hence that is why this same, tired topic crops up after nearly every home loss.

            Agree with the seniors falling flat. I remember a game earlier in the year when Toure drove, got the "and 1" and pounded his chest in the face of the camera...that was missing Saturday.

              Watching Wisconsin vs. Michigan St...4 minutes into a game of the #11 vs. #19 teams. Quiet as a mouse. Do you think Wisconsin gives a rats a$$ about the crowd, and will anyone there use the crowd as an excuse if they lose? I don't think so.

                It seems like maybe they are trying to phase Dudley out.

                I think maybe the people in our area think you quit clapping when they stop Dudley early, I don't know.
                No. Dudley is not being phased out. The GA is told over the headset when to stop playing so the Marketeers can take over.

                  Let this thread die a quick death. I think that it is a consensus that the crowd wasn't the reason that the game was lost.

                                If you wonder why the crowd was quiet in the second half it could have something to do with sucky half-time shows and watching a guy shoot rubber bands at red plastic cups as our entertainment when the game isn't going on. Between the red cups, rubber bands and ping pong balls, Athletics probably spent six dollars for those particular activities. It's one thing to cut budgets, it's another not to have one at all. If you want to keep the crowd going don't say "let's get the loudest 'Go Shockers' we can" before the cheerleaders are in position to hold up the signs. Oh, and not having our seniors (Ben Smith excluded) play like freshmen, like this senior class has every year, wouldn't hurt either. Can you tell I'm bitter?
