I was at the game last night and was really not impressed by the "12th man" The stadium was VERY empty and although it was an extremely ugly game for us, the crowd really wasn't a factor. I really don't think the "12th man" has anything on Hilton Magic (yes, they consider their bball crowds the 12th man too...doesnt make much sense to me either). It wasn't at all a tough place to play. It was just that we were awful last night. I'm a die hard cyclone fan and have been since the 3rd grade, but that was embarassing getting beaten that bad last night. It was just a sad display last night...hopefully we can pull something together soon.
...I made the trip from Houston with 3 other alumni and we scanned the crowd for Clones, but to our surprise, we could see only 1 cyclone family in attendance. I know it's a heck of a long way away, but when we are at home, there is always more visiting team fans than what there were for us last night. I guess we were just surprised to not see more Cyclones fans there.
All in all, just not a great road trip and experience. Hopefully we'll pick it up soon!
