I'm sure you've probably seen it by now, but if not, go here: LINK (http://www.soonersports.com/SportSelect.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=31000&SPID=127245&SPSID=750323&DB_OEM_ID=31000)
The Athletic Department (or at least Sooner Sports) is asking fans attending the game to "Create a Ruckus". A lot of emphasis is being placed on replicating the way the stadium was in the '08 game.
I know there are people that get a little bent when things like this are 'forced' (i.e. the "Get Loud" video, or players trying to get the crowd pumped up), but I don't mind this. It's no secret we are a more reactive fanbase, but I wonder how much of that has to do with the older fans in the stadium.
Last year, at the OSU game, there was a couple that sat in front of me (probably in their 60s), and I don't think they clapped the entire game. They stood when the people in front of them stood (which seemed to aggravate them), but otherwise...nothing. Why go to the game?
Anyway, if this helps get stirs the stadium into a similar hostile environment as it did for Tech in '08, I'm all for it.
Thoughts?
