Congrats and Apologies to the Bison

Re: Congrats and Apologies to the Bison

Yep, but the post I quoted was referring to a game at Frost, where the 100 or so Bison fans would have been scattered through the upper levels. And the post also didn't say anything about attending the game, it referred to Bison FANS not being able to focus on the bball game thus giving the Jacks a better chance to win.

No disagreement there. I took it that you meant fans never influence any game. My bad.

I agree that fans -can- influence a game in regards to crowd noise, false starts, maybe intimidation, etc, although it's probably a lot more rare than most fans would like to think.

I just find it laughable in the aspect that it was talked about in this thread and in other message board chatter on this board (and others) where one will say "let's not look ahead, let's concentrate on the game at hand". Like what we do as fans has any influence over what the team is doing.

What? I suppose you are going to tell me Santa isn't real either?

Yessir. I was talking exclusively about teh footballs, though. I've never seen fans influence a basketball game.

You never saw SDSU-USD games in the old Barn then. Or a scared herd of Bison entering its confines. Cameron Crazies would be too scared to enter.
