On their second goal I tried to get "Let's Go Red" started, and it carried for a few rounds, but that's it.

I tried it too.  But people just laughed at me becuase I had no voice left.  Luckily I had a cough drop last night and will be ready for game 2.

 Yeah, I'll agree with that one - rather than start "Let's Go Red" it seemed like people just sat back and waited until it was appropriate to chant "Section O Sucks."  On their second goal I tried to get "Let's Go Red" started, and it carried for a few rounds, but that's it.  Your help would be appreciated.

Last night, we did a lot of Section O Sucks cheers that were well-timed and very funny.  Whenever there was a pause for some reason like after the players got off the ice or when  there was the long pause after the Chris Abbott penalty, we just started the cheer up to keep everybody invovled even though the MSU fans never said boo.  I guess I would be pretty biased but I thought the students were really really good.  Very few quiet periods and a lot of enthusiasm.  Not nearly as many drunk morons as in the past.

Did I hear a little cowbell hiccup in the 3rd? or was that just my imagination?

One thing I've still noticed about the student section is that when we score, we still don't have the number of "sieve's" down and also the number of "it's all your fault"

hopefully we will all get more practice tonight.

The hiccup was in the second period right at the end because a drunk kid behind me lost his balance and nudged me so not to fall over.

Don't the drums in the Pep Band pound out the LGR beat after opponent goals?

Usually yes, but for the first MSU goal the goal light never went on, so those of us all the way back in section A were unsure whether or not the goal was good.  The second goal got drum beats, though they weren't as loud as I'm used to.

[Cactus12]

Yeah... I was in section A and looked up at the conducter to see where the LGR drum beats were... she hadn't seen the light and didn't know it was a goal... I'm sure they'll be more on top of it tonight

[Beeeej]

Yes, well, in my strong opinion that's a significant part of the problem.  If the pep band drummers had any sense of how these things actually work, they would start the beat, keep it going for maybe two rounds, and then get the hell out of the way.  By continuing the beat at the same ridiculously slow pace, they make it impossible for the crowd to keep chanting "Let's Go Red!" at anything like the normal pace of the chant, so one third of the crowd simply stops, one third tries to keep going at the drums' pace, and the other third tries to switch to the normal pace.  And because they're not all chanting at the same speed, they all chant more quietly and unsurely, and all of them get drowned out by the drums.

Yep, that's the first game that we townies have come to en masse.....NOT!!!   Plan ahead-  traffic is a reality on game nights.   Don't blame the townies.  Accept responsibility for poor planning.
