    KSU should automatically get knocked down a notch because they do that wabash cannonball thing.. Thank GOD we don't have a cheer where we lean back and forth really fast, opposite each other to some jank *** song.

    GIA has really dropped off. It used to be right there at the top. Hilton seems to have bounced back pretty well. I've even seen old people stand up this year. Not back to peak, though.

That said, if that same game would have been played at Hilton the atmosphere would have been significantly better.

    Don't get me wrong, Hilton is a way better venue with a way better atmosphere across the board, but to say the atmosphere at Carver for the ISU game was "not even close to being near what Hilton normally is for an average game" just isn't true. Unfortunately for them, that's as good as it gets and it's nowhere near as good as Hilton gets.
    I think I would compare the ISU game at Carver to a game against a good but unranked Big 12 conference team. Like OSU last year (minus the game winning shot stuff obviously) It got a little loud maybe twice, but the top didn't get close to Hilton's and it was never loud for very long.

    Have you been there to watch a game? KSU is one place that looks better on t.v. than in person because the placement of the students. Line up our student section on the side and it would give it a crazier look on t.v. as well. KSU is a good atmosphere for big games but doesn't top Hilton over the course of a season. It was Carver-esque only a few short years ago, nothing special at all.

    I switched to John Walters, who was 10 seconds ahead of the TV, last night because the announcers were so bad, and enjoyed his comment at the end about there being "hundreds" of Tech fans there to celebrate the win.
