| FTBL We need much more NOISE!!!!!!!!

I heard an interview with Coach Stallings once and he talked about how he didn't like the crowd to make a lot of noise while the other team was on offense. The way he saw it was "Those guys worked hard during practice all week and deserved the chance to run their offense just like the home team, without any distractions from the fans".

I may step on toes here. At least, have a lot that disagree with me.

Crowd noise, in my opinion, doesn't have any relevance on the game with the exceptions of a few plays during the game. In those situations, the crowd responds.

What am I saying?

I think it is over-rated.

I can think of a lot of teams that have won, and won big, with crowds that aren't loud; subdued in fact.

Can it make a difference in a game? Sure, but not as often as most seem to think.

You're the man Terry, but you're wrong while being right. Noise does not make a big difference in the game, save the few plays that you mentioned. But how close have SEC games been in recent years. Even finishing 6-6, rare is the game where 3-4 plays not going our way was the difference between 6 loses and 10 wins. Furthermore, if it never influenced a play, it would still influence the recruits that are there. If Booing hurts, ROCKIN' has to help.
