It's almost like "two bits, four bits...".

Also, it is about time that they get a basketball pep band instead of part of the marching band. It would be nice to see a couple drummers, some guitars, and some saxophones. That might liven up the crowd a little. In addition to the band director is too stoic.

In addition, it is very difficult for a crowd to be really loud in an arena that has also been built for hockey IMO

I would also like to know how much the team (any team) feeds off the crowd. I think a greater part of home teams winning is a comfort level of playing in a place where they practice and there is no traveling involved.

donot forget when only half the lowerbowl studen section is full....
