I love cheering the team on and I have screamed and yelled and clapped and booed as much as anyone, but please don't make me. Let the team make me cheer, not score board orders. Plus, we couldn't see the score or replays until the team finally scored at the 16:24 mark.

Anyway, I hate the sound system at the Liberty Bowl and don't tell me I have to stand up through a 6-0 Cincinnati run.

Well that was random. Maybe they can work on it prior to next football season

Some of you guys can really ***** about anything. They try to start a little thing to stand until we score and that offends some of you and you don't want to be told what to do. I doubt any of you that hate it have been to a game since Cal left. Unreal!!! A good many of our so called fans deserve the run we are on right now.

I've been to THREE games since Cal left.

I am real.

I hate Chuck Roberts.

I do not care for the "stand until we score" shtick.

(full disclosure - I probably went to a total of THREE games DURING Calapari's tenure)

you mean the "Chick-Fil-A Stand til we Score" promotion

I love the Stand Till we Score thing

But Chuck Roberts is annoying.

He makes me want to leave my seat during time outs.

Not hardly, he is back. He is walking the floor at every game.

He is PA for football. Basketball is Geoff Mack. #FACT

So that isn't Chuck Roberts walking the court during time outs doing the give aways and the half court shot promotion? My mistake.

The PA announcer for Memphis men’s and women’s basketball is Geoff Mack. This is a fact, get over it.

Chuck Roberts may not be the PA announcer, but the goof on the floor during time outs Saturday was Chuck Roberts, this is a fact, get over it

According to brando Chuck is not at the game. I guess brando never goes to a game to hear Chuck during timeouts.

This is interesting ... we do the exact opposite in Wichita. We stand until the OTHER team scores a FG (not a FT). It keeps people on their feet and cheering for a bit.

Last year vs Tulsa, they didn't score a FG until the ~12 min mark. That was fun lol

With how CKA is designed though, If everyone is standing .. it really doesn't impact views too much unless you are behind Tacko Fall.

Some of our fans have older joints than y'alls fans.

Our fans complain about standing, and they don't like anyone standing in front of them, either. lol

That's from the tip-off classic a few years ago. It was a midnight game or something like that.

Ours must be the crotchety kind of old. lol

I believe the stand-until-scoring was actually a thing in the 80's at the MSC. Don't recall them bringing it back until this year. I'm fine with it - but it should not be on the video board. That's silly.

That's the answer! If thats what the crowd wants to do, then by all means, stand until we score. Just take it off the screen. If people want to stand, they will, if they don't, they won't. I bet they won't.
