when to stand up at beginning of period

[Jim]

I have noticed a lot of faithful beginning to stand up way before the big red come out of the locker room.  Being here for 4 years, I always observe that one older man always opens the locker room door with 1:30 left in intermission, then comes out and closes it and seconds later it opens again with the big red coming out.  I know this as the time to stand up and cheer.  I have seen previous year crowds also do this, but this year section B seems to stand whenever the hell they feel like their butts start to hurt and parts of other sections do this too. Anyone else have an opinion about this? should we try to get the message out and have the crowd seem united and rise to entrance of the big red together?

I think maybe we are trying to create too many rules. Just cheer when they come out, OK?

Even better, be there and cheer when they come out for warm-ups.

The more support for the team, the better

My opinion is that your efforts should probably be spent elsewhere.

Its one thing if a cheer sounds like crap or doesn't make sense (i.e. "lose", although that train has long since left the station) - but as for when to stand up, yeah, find better things to put your energy into.

Um, you've gotta be kidding me.

You wacky old guys and your arriving for the warm-ups.  :-}

This is probably the funniest sarcastic threads I've read. Unless, it is in fact serious, in which case ---> ::bang::

What I actually loved about the game at Colgate was the fact that the place was pretty much full prior to warmups.  I wish more than 15-20 of us were there for warmups at Lynah.  I think the reason it was full on the student side was because it was general admission and first come first serve.  Yet another reason to go back to general admission tickets for students.

I do my best to be there for warmups every game at Lynah.  While I should probably be using that time to heckle the other team, I actually like to watch our guys go through the warmup drills.

Yeah, I was wondering about when people used to come to warmups at Lynah.  Was that during the period where seats were still first come, first serve, or did it still happen regularly even after season ticket sales?

I strongly recommend coming early for many reasons. Not at the bottom of the list is that you can scream at the opposing players and be sure that they actually hear you. (Respectfully, of course. We wouldn't want to offend any of them.)
Let's just focus on being loud next weekend. Enough said.
