Was there a particular series you noticed this happening? I didn't see the TSN broadcast at all, I was in the stands and I always have that on my mind to yell like mad only when our D is on the field. And the fans were awesome at that yesterday. The 13th man ruled! Wish the Calgary Sun would have written about it.  |
I remember it on the drive in the 3rd quarter when the Stamps were 2nd and goal on about the BC 3. The crowd was going absolutely CRAZY, yelling "GO STAMPS GO!!!" over and over. The entire left side of our OL appeared to jump up out of sync(not early, to warrant an illegal procedure call or anything, but they all looked confused). I really wonder if it was because of the crowd noise, and they couldnt hear the snap count or something. Even the announcers mentioned how confused they seemed. When we failed to punch that in and had to settle for the FG, I was screaming at my TV for everyone to shut up. I think it was on the same play when the streaker ran on the field, so hopefully the crowd was just screaming about that, and not just ######ed.
Nevertheless, that game was probably the loudest I have EVER heard McMahon, and I was really jealous I wasn't there for it. One of the big reasons why I love the NFL is the crazy atmosphere, it just brings a whole other element to the game. Usually the CFL is lacking in that regard, but yesterday seemed very close to an NFL atmosphere, at least in terms of noise. Big props to the fans(though alot of them need to learn to SHUT THE HELL UP during our redzone offence).
