I attended my first Griz game in over 40 years this year. I had heard about the "loud noise" and excitement of the new stadium...
This was homecoming, and the game was close, but the crowd was hardly intimidating. I have seen high school games with louder and more exciting atmoshpheres. The mascot is cute..the band is dull...the students, thankfully, drunk...just lie in the 60's...but the big noise...it ain't so big as to bother any team that has played a college game...I think all you Griz fans need to get out to other stadiums...Still, I hope it is cold and wet...the Griz like it like that....Go Grizzlies!!! WE don't need no stinkin noise to beat a Southern team!
nobody gets published with a N of 1. i would suggest you go to a few more games at UM before you start telling the griz fans who show up repeatedly and loudly at wash-griz (and other venues where the griz play) that they need to 'get out more' in order to see what other crowds are like.
in other words, your condescending comments regarding wash-griz lack sophistication, as you are making your conclusions regarding the wash-griz atmosphere on the basis of one game, and ignoring the multiple variables that affect crowd involvement, which change from game to game. maybe you ought to make it to a game every twenty years or so, just to keep more current.
