This is awesome, excellent praise. Also, the Michigan game was very, very loud however last year when Elijah Johnson was shooting free throws in the game that shall not be mentioned it was louder - and of course he made them both. Dude was unconsious that night.

I remember watching the KU game on tv last year at Hilton and you could see some of their fans behind their bench cover their ears during the high points of the game.

I think we should sell those little foam ear plugs at concession stands, especially for visitors. That would be something cool to display.

At the KU game last year there was a point where I covered my ears and yelled as loud as I could. I was physically sick for a good week. Now the mental illness after said game is another story..

I agree with everyone, the KU game was the only game that I have been to (since McD's last year) that was louder or a better atmosphere.

The crowd wanted KU's blood. There was hate behind the noise. That isn't true for Michigan at all.

This would be hilarious! Have to include tissues for tears and Prep H for the butthurt after a loss .

Or, since the few visitor seats are always the same ones located behind the visitors bench, maybe the AD should just place a package of earplugs on each seat for the visiting team fans. Maybe even include the visiting bench.

This makes all the difference.
