Crowd not impressing me...

Yep. Clearly the cheerleaders and the band need to pick it up as well. Very so-so effort.

Looked like full house on TV. But didn't sound like it.

Very quite crowd on TV. Like we expected to win.

That's what I meant, it was just too quiet at times. Good win though so not much to complain about.

 

[Iowa Hog]

that is all.

For whatever reason, on sunny days football crowds do not make a lot of noise. Another reason, is that Iowa had a lot at stake in this game and the crowd was nervous because Illinois is a good football team in which Iowa does not match up as well as we do some other teams.

I think a lot of people are tired too. I just wanted the electricity to continue to show itself. It wasn't a horrible crowd, but I expected louder and rowdier. It's hard to not be tired though when the game starts so early. Most people have to wake up early to get there, eat, party, and whatever els

 

[Sett1997]

I think everyone shot all their endorphins last week. These nail biters take a toll. Lol

 

[mthawkeyes]

Watching on TV, it was good to hear the entire crowd shout, "BALL!" when Illinois fumbled.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Yeah the fans on the message boards did a much better job than the fans at the game!

 

[BioHawk]

Well, not having 8 hours to drink before the game probably makes a bit of a difference with the crowd.

 

[doughudd]

This thread is weak

 

[TakeTheThree]

Very weak indeed. The crowd was loud when they needed to be. If you were at the game you would know that. Boys and girls we are 6 and 0 for only the 3rd time 30 years. It is also good to see the bug-eaters at 2 and 4 but you could also say that they are only 4 plays away from 6 and 0 themselves.

 

[HerkysDad]

Those quiet spells are intentional and easily explained.

Periodically, the supportive fans actually at Kinnick become silent so the football team we can listen to all the self proclaimed fans cheering from the message boards.

 

[ANYCHawk]

[Derekd3408]

I was there and cheering loud all game. I thought the crowd was good. If you were sitting at home and are complaining in this thread either buy a ticket to the next game or STFU.

 

[ichawk24]

I'm not impressed by those on their couches complaining about those who actually went to the game.

This is similar to people who complain about election results and then admit they didn't even bother to vote.

To be fair, a 12 hour drive is really far. I think going to one this year is plenty and I'm allowed to whine from my couch.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

I am still trying to decide on which game if any I go to and I drive more than 12 hours

This.

 

[ABYPFCS]

Turn the volume up on your TV.

 

[Rustys Dad]

that is all.

Comical. We are 6-0 and someone has to find SOMETHING to complain about so he targets the crowd to focus on. I am guessing you are one of those people in the office who are always bi+*ing about something.

 

[keosahawkeye]

To be fair those who were actually at the game are equally allowed to call douche on sofa surfers who don't feel like they heard enough out of the crowd, too.

You guess wrong, now go back to your mommy.

Have not heard much from you lately Shania. Still Hot?

 

[grosie#2]

I was there and it was pretty loud where we sat.

 

[hawkcub]

It was your typical 11 AM crowd. Was loud at times. At times not so much. Remember many on here were happy Wisky was a 11 start.

 

[Suterman]

I thought the crowd was loud when it needed to be and pretty engaged. It was not a game where we could ever relax either. I never did see a crowd number but I would guess around 68,000.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

I think there's just several people on here that are a little more chippy about things because we didn't dominate Illinois like they wanted, injuries are piling up, and they think Iowa's time as an unbeaten is running out and they can feel that mask covering their pessimistic faces is starting to become uncomfortable.

I look forward to seeing just how awesome some of the people who have posted in this thread, among several "certain others", will be after our first loss, should we lose a game this year (and wait for the poster to peak into the room and say "well it IS gonna happen" and then disappear). Fun stuff, really.

Now THAT is a true story, ANYCHawk......

 

[Packer54]

This....I was there and agree. But it is the dreaded 11am. I like it on the road. Not so much at home.

 

[hawks127]

11am crowds are always sub-par. If you went to Pitt game you would be singing a different tune about crowd noise

 

[cedarvalleykid14]

And so the Hawks get a break with the 11 AM start in Evanston this week. The early start will keep those crazy nerds calmed down. Score one for Iowa.

I thought the crowd was excellent. Ed Podolak commented after the game that it was a tremendous environment.

 

[GunnerHawk]

I drive 7 hours each way for the home games and have only missed Pitt because I drove 10 hours to a wedding. Crowd w's not as good as it was for the 2:30 game, but was loud when needed. I agree not enough yelling fluid and 7:00 AM tailgate starts don't help.

 

[EndzoneSeat]

It wasn't the most exciting game, which is where most of the volume comes into play a large part of the time. Combine that with lengthy TV timeouts and it really lets the air out of people.

 

[ICWestfan]

My couch was incredibly comfortable so I wasn't able to cheer as loudly as I wanted to.
