When Willie was on top of the Dev, was that like super rough ridin' awesome, or just kinda cool? Because there's some history there and I just want to know if like you got super amped and yelled the K-S-U chant louder than ever or just like regular loud? Also props for pulling the less enthusiastic kids into the stadium to stay all calm over on the grass. :thumbsup:
-
Whats the history? Has willie done that before or something?
-
Well ya!

:dubious:
-
we should have a history lesson thread for these young kids whose mommy is down at the market buying Pampers for all us kids.
-OU was the loudest the stadium will ever be
-O'Doyle Rulez
-The Band Sucks
-The student section was best in XXXX year
-The Band Rules
-The student section this year is awful
-With this budget and this facility we should expect X amount of wins especially when it comes to volleyball
-
Said ksu chant was super loud, I think most of the big time EMAWs know the history of Willie on the Dev. Most students got super pumped when we saw him up there

It was the loudest KSU chant I've ever heard

Top 5 loudest moments at K-State.
I don't think it was louder than Newman blocked punt return though, but not by a lot.

That was the loudest moment but I think it might be the loudest game from start to finish we've had. :dunno:

What about Beasley to Morgan vs Nubb '00? It's tough to tell when you're sitting in a different part of the stadium.

I think at that age your ears were more susceptible to loud noises scottwildcat, you are lucky you can hear anything to be honest.

much like an aa eagle taking off at mhk its over your head

It was amazing, Emo. Everything about that night was the loudest and bestest.
-
I think all the loud games I was at were louder than Saturday night.

I think all the loud games I was at were louder than Saturday night.
Last half 3rd qtr.-4th qtr. was pretty glorious. Very #fattytakethewheel 'esque. The Baylor letdown + slow 1st half completely swung the other direction. Lots of emotion on display including many bro hugs and high fives from the youngest wild wild cat to the oldest tucks.

I've got serious beef with the students after Saturday.
For clarification, I witnessed every home game from 1999 - 2006 with the exception of two unimportant games. I was a student from 2002-2006. Sidenote: Was there for the '98 Nebraska game too as that is truly my first recollection of a KSU game in person.
I had 'grass' tickets on Saturday. Managed to sneek into the student section. We ended up in about row 20, and maybe 15 seats from the chain link fence at the end (so essentially past the end zone).
I know we were sitting with the bottom feeders of our students, but it was downright embrassing.
These jackasses don't even know how to stand and sit down. Seriously. these fucktards would hop down a row to sit down and then jump back up on their seat when standing. Needless to say, it was a clusterfuck of people who didn't know proper student section protocol.
Second, these students feel the game is more of a social outing than a life/death match-up that most of us view the game as. More rough ridin' pictures and people on their cellphones than I ever recall. Lots of people just bullshitting around and not paying attention to the game.
Third, somebody forgot to tell these numbnuts we need to yell when the opposition is on offense. I was able to have a conversation with the person next to me on nearly every play. It was sad.
Lastly, and this one gets me more than anything, we had a full student section prior to halftime. After halftime, we had literally hundreds of empty seats to the right of us. I'm guessing about 500 students didn't bother coming back into the stadium after halftime. Pathetic. This is one of the Top 5 most important games in our history and we have students who don't bother showing up for the second half. I seriously hope they reduce the size of the student section so we can weed out these pathetic losers who don't give a crap. Free up a seat for an old geezer who will at least remain in his seat for the entire game and support the team.
I'm done.
-
Stupid crap
Quit acting like the far corner of the GA section has ever given a crap. My god.
-
When I was there, I tried pretty hard to make it the best but it was the end of snyder 1 and the ron prince era so there was really only so much i coul do.
I wanted to be the best, but I know I just can't say that it was.
-
This student section sucks it was so much better every year I was a student and before and you students suck
LOL U MAD BRO?
-
I thought last year A&M game int he OT's was louder than Saturday by far...could be a perspective thing though, I was in the SEZ last year, was in section 1 this year.
With the exception of Rooftop Willie's KSU Chant, I really didn't ever think it was that loud Saturday
-

There was a day when students actually filled up the student section. That fact cannot be debated. This is not a 'my years had the best student section' debate. This is the reality of where our student section currently stands.
-
I yelled reasonably louder than I have ever yelled before and made several derogatory crotch chopping motions in which I chop my crotch because it was derogatory to burntorangeaggie i just was so excited and felt so derogatory toward them

I don't care how loud/not loud it was, there was a vibe to the place that I'd never felt there before. Not better/worse than some of those Nub/OU games, just different. And it felt good. Really, really good.

I think it was a more confident vibe. Like a "we got this" swag. Those historic Nubb/OU games I was always way more :ohno: and :pray:.

Again, it could be perspective...I was in secton 1 on Saturday night right against the Fencing ( I could watch the ESPN feed from a TV in Vanier, thats how far to the North I was), so I had NO noise coming at me from the left of me
-
That's not the loudest I've ever heard it, but it comes pretty close. Other posters are correct though, it was consistently above average the entire game, and had a visible buzz that was fun to be a part of.
Loudest single chant I can remember is 09 Kansas.
Willie getting on the Dev was cool, only in a sense that I knew it didn't happen very often. I yelled just as hard as I always do, not harder.
-

Definitely agree with that.
The "conference title is coming" feeling throughout the stadium was really amazing. After the big throw to Lockett and a 2 score lead it really started to hit.
-
I don't know if it was the loudest I've heard the stadium be, to me the loudest moment was when Sproles ran the 2-pt conversion in to tie against Texas in '02, mostly because it went from dead silent to jet engine take of at the drop of hat. But, my ears did pop this game, which was the first time that's happened I think since that game. Also, it was good to see Willie on the Dev, first time for me since the Nubb game in the snow, which still ranks very high in my favorite games all time.

When Tejas was on offense we had a very constant loudness going on minus the second quarter for the most part. The confidence(swag) that we had this game and were going to own them was unreal. Even in the first half and early 3rd when we were down I never really got that :ohno: feeling. Was just cheering on and waiting for the breakout. Then it happened and the rest is history. I would venture to guess that was one of the loudest most exciting 4th quarters in BSFS. Not an angry loud but a "thats right, we own this Big 12 title and no one is going to stop us" loud.
Willie on top of the Dev was surreal with the fog and lights and EVERYONE doing the KSU chant, not just the standard engaged fans.

to me, felt like the 02 mizzou game that lead us to the dr pepper in kc. after the game, everyone was hugging and you could see the excitement in the air. same with saturday. just a lot on the line, a lot up in the air, and everything fell into place.
-
I had a blast at the game and agree with what you guys are saying, but the whole time I just couldn't help but think to myself "What would this place be like right now if we hadn't derped against Baylor?"

had that moment after I rushed the field and came back into the stands a few rows so i could get a better view. Wow this is nuts, but how much MORE nuts would it be if this was for all the marbles?
-
I was super impressed with the crowd.
-
On a positive note, props to the band director. That guy doesn't give a eff. I'm amazed we haven't been fined by the Big XII for playing when both teams have broken the huddle. He pushes the limit. Good on him.

I like him too, but I believe the band doesn't have to STFU until the opposing offense is on the LOS. Can any ex-band members confirm/deny?

well this thread is a piece of crap

Every one loss team besides Alabama is kicking themselves right now with what could have been. Oregon moreso. They don't even have any hardware for this season. And they lost in OT at home.

I wouldn't have any idea. I was one section away from the UT band and they never (NEVER) stopped playing. I thought OU's band was bad...
-
well this thread is a piece of crap
Plenty of other threads to post in

Yeah, but Oregon has won their conference each of the last three years so them not winning it this year isn't that big of a KITN. Also the Fiesta Bowl is a million times better than the Rose Bowl this year (8-5 Wisconsin :flush:) so it worked out for them.
Oregon has been to the title game before, and assuming Chip Kelly doesn't leave for the NFL, they will make it again soon. God knows the next time Kansas State will have this good of an opportunity to play for all the marbles.

God knows the next time Kansas State will have this good of an opportunity to play for all the marbles.
In 2015 our senior class will include Daniel Sams, Travis Britz, Morgan Burns, Deante Burton, a Gronkowski, Demonte Hood, Mike Moore, Marquel Bryant, a Cantele kicker, a Klein, Boston Stiverson, Cody Whitehair, and Stan Weber.
In 2014 those guys will be juniors with a senior class including Randell Evans, BJ Finney, Tyler Lockett, Ryan Mueller, Demarcus Robinson, Curry Sexton, Zach Trujillo, and Jonathan Truman.
I'm not saying they will be the level of this team, but if Demarcus figures it out, that's a damn good base to compete for Dr. Peppers and a chance to get in the 4 team playoff. A lot of those young defensive guys have been solid on ST this year.

Under the assumption that we have our current coaching staff or a large majority of it, yes.

I wasn't trying to make it sound like we were facing the prospect of losing seasons - there is definitely enough talent on the roster to contend in the next few years. But the stars were aligned for KSU this year and we couldn't capitalize. The team stayed pretty healthy, manageable schedule, great senior leaders, great talent at key positions, one of two eligible undefeated teams. All of those circumstances happening again are what I am unsure about.

If the conference home/away keeps switching every other year, we will be set up for a great run in Sams' senior year. All the teams that are generally competing for Big 12 Championships will be at home.

I don't think it has been mentioned enough but we won the confy playing 5/9 games on the road.

But when expansion is upon us, all bets are off RE: location of games. I agree w/Shacks. This year was a "stars & planets" aligned kind of deal. I sure HOPE Coach Snyder (or his successor) can lead us there again AND that our team takes advantage of it. At least one K-State national championship during my lifetime, that's all I'm asking. :emawkid:

The increase in crowd noise for the Dev K-S-U was a huge surprise to me. The 50 and 60 year olds around me were losing their minds.
Jump Around was the happiest I've seen my dad in the last 10 years.

I wasn't at the legendary OU-punt block game, so I can't judge that one. But the loudest sustained cheer I've heart at the Bill was after Snyder came back and beat KU. That was a moment where a lot of 'Cat fans felt like the the sins of the Ron Prince era were washed away and 'Cats fans let out a sustained, turgid cheergasm bathed in full- blooded EMAW.

Truman is an underrated beast on special teams. When him and tre-fitty are seniors weekside lb will be stacked

Confirmed. It would have to be crazily egregious for the Big XII to step in. OU's band pushes the boundaries much more than ours.

Eff our band for losing the head to head with OU's band!

Finally this gets mentioned. Granted I wasn't there on Saturday and only attended games from 2008-11 but that game was super loud. Girl I know that lived in the Woodway apts said her apartment windows were shaking after the game.

I was in NEZ. The bill got really rough ridin' loud, guys
The only game I ever caught from the NEZFZ was '99 Mizzou. Confirmed gets very loud down there on the field...what a fun day.
-
I'm 34, been season ticket holder for years along with the parents, aunt/uncle, we still have the same seats in section 5 from when the stadium 1st opened back in the 60's through my late grandparents. Definitely cheered louder when Willie was on the Dev. Wasn't at that 'famous' game due to a commitment while in the Marines, but knew the significance.
Other loud games and comment on shivvycats comment:
1) Obviously the 4OT win last year against the aTm conference quitters.
2) Brandon Archer INT for a TD to give K-State the go-ahead score when Snyder first retired, last game, against Mizzou and Finkel. I think we won that like 36-34 or something.
3) The game against USC in '02. Had to google it to remember if it was 01 or 02, but it was the game Newman returned a blocked field goal or PAT. That USC team had a ton of future NFLers.
4) KState 45-42 over Texas...it was RP's either 1st or 2nd year, I forget, but do remember how cold it was that night. Stadium was loud that night.
student section etc:
Does anyone else agree/acknowledge the psychology of fandom and that fans have to "learn how to win" and what's expected, just like players/teams have to 'learn to win'???
Sometimes when a program is "down," kids/students (not hating here, just opining) don't quite know how to act in terms of getting loud when the opposing team has the ball. Just something I've observed last few years watching the program fall/rise. We don't have decade after decade of tradition like some programs in that respect and I think there is some truth to this.
I'm guilty of going out and having a beer or so at the half but I'm always back in my seat in section 19, or with my dad in section 5 for the 3rd qtr.

Texas' band played much more than our band. They played when their own offense was snapping the ball. I must have heard "The Eyes of Texas" 20 times Saturday night.

I don't care how loud/not loud it was, there was a vibe to the place that I'd never felt there before. Not better/worse than some of those Nub/OU games, just different. And it felt good. Really, really good.
This. The second half and the post game was an awesome scene.
Definitely agree with that.
The "conference title is coming" feeling throughout the stadium was really amazing. After the big throw to Lockett and a 2 score lead it really started to hit.
I also think that fans feel a much closer connection to these players than they have had in the past. Personally I don't think I have loved a team of players more than I do this year. I would venture to say that this is Bill's favorite team even though he will never admit it.
I think it was one of those things were you are pulling for someone so hard and things haven't gone perfectly but in the end you are still so proud of what they have accomplished.
For me the second half was the loudest two quarters I have ever been a part of, definitely the loudest KSU chant.

There is a rule, I don't know what, but I do know Dr. Tracz has always pushed the limit with this. He believes in making noise.
Cool story bro: At the '95 Holiday Bowl, the K-State drumline trolled the Colorado State drumline enough to where the refs called a penalty on them. Was epic, many high fives.

Confirmed. It would have to be crazily egregious for the Big XII to step in. OU's band pushes the boundaries much more than ours.
Texas' band played much more than our band. They played when their own offense was snapping the ball. I must have heard "The Eyes of Texas" 20 times Saturday night.
Did you sing the railroad song each time?

That's great, how exactly did they troll CS?

Entire K-State drumline all hit their drums at the same time once "BOOM", and waited while staring over at the Colorado State band. Waited a minute, no response. Did it again. After 3 or 4 tries the CSU drumline got the idea and did the same thing back. So then K-State does it hitting all the drums twice, "BOOM BOOM". CSU responds with 3 hits. K-State with 4. This escalates to about 10. CSU goes to 11, K-State just sits there and stares, no response. CSU does 11 again. K-State, no response. CSU just goes nuts with it and boom, refs call a 5 or 10 yard penalty on Colorado State due to the band. Hilarity ensued.

I don't care how loud/not loud it was, there was a vibe to the place that I'd never felt there before. Not better/worse than some of those Nub/OU games, just different. And it felt good. Really, really good.
Good post. Most people probably won't understand what the hell you are talking about but I noticed it too. Kinda felt like what had arrived a bit. The place was very loud but also more confident than years past. Not just angry and insecure, like before.

I think it was a more confident vibe. Like a "we got this" swag. Those historic Nubb/OU games I was always way more :ohno: and :pray:.
Oh. Good post emo. Good post.

"The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Exactly.
Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
I don't know.
Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Put it up to eleven.
Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
These go to eleven."

I've got serious beef with the students after Saturday.
For clarification, I witnessed every home game from 1999 - 2006 with the exception of two unimportant games. I was a student from 2002-2006. Sidenote: Was there for the '98 Nebraska game too as that is truly my first recollection of a KSU game in person.
I had 'grass' tickets on Saturday. Managed to sneek into the student section. We ended up in about row 20, and maybe 15 seats from the chain link fence at the end (so essentially past the end zone).
I know we were sitting with the bottom feeders of our students, but it was downright embrassing.
These jackasses don't even know how to stand and sit down. Seriously. these fucktards would hop down a row to sit down and then jump back up on their seat when standing. Needless to say, it was a clusterfuck of people who didn't know proper student section protocol.
Second, these students feel the game is more of a social outing than a life/death match-up that most of us view the game as. More rough ridin' pictures and people on their cellphones than I ever recall. Lots of people just bullshitting around and not paying attention to the game.
Third, somebody forgot to tell these numbnuts we need to yell when the opposition is on offense. I was able to have a conversation with the person next to me on nearly every play. It was sad.
Lastly, and this one gets me more than anything, we had a full student section prior to halftime. After halftime, we had literally hundreds of empty seats to the right of us. I'm guessing about 500 students didn't bother coming back into the stadium after halftime. Pathetic. This is one of the Top 5 most important games in our history and we have students who don't bother showing up for the second half. I seriously hope they reduce the size of the student section so we can weed out these pathetic losers who don't give a crap. Free up a seat for an old geezer who will at least remain in his seat for the entire game and support the team.
I'm done.
I'm 34, been season ticket holder for years along with the parents, aunt/uncle, we still have the same seats in section 5 from when the stadium 1st opened back in the 60's through my late grandparents. Definitely cheered louder when Willie was on the Dev. Wasn't at that 'famous' game due to a commitment while in the Marines, but knew the significance.
Other loud games and comment on shivvycats comment:
1) Obviously the 4OT win last year against the aTm conference quitters.
2) Brandon Archer INT for a TD to give K-State the go-ahead score when Snyder first retired, last game, against Mizzou and Finkel. I think we won that like 36-34 or something.
3) The game against USC in '02. Had to google it to remember if it was 01 or 02, but it was the game Newman returned a blocked field goal or PAT. That USC team had a ton of future NFLers.
4) KState 45-42 over Texas...it was RP's either 1st or 2nd year, I forget, but do remember how cold it was that night. Stadium was loud that night.
student section etc:
Does anyone else agree/acknowledge the psychology of fandom and that fans have to "learn how to win" and what's expected, just like players/teams have to 'learn to win'???
Sometimes when a program is "down," kids/students (not hating here, just opining) don't quite know how to act in terms of getting loud when the opposing team has the ball. Just something I've observed last few years watching the program fall/rise. We don't have decade after decade of tradition like some programs in that respect and I think there is some truth to this.
I'm guilty of going out and having a beer or so at the half but I'm always back in my seat in section 19, or with my dad in section 5 for the 3rd qtr.

Was being too loud in iCat to really hear this.

Here is the rule.......
“Band/Audio Play” provisions of the Big 12. Bands and in-house music are not allowed during game action or after the offense has reached the line of scrimmage.

If you sat anywhere near the corner, it was all you heard. The entire game.
