Yes. What looks like a 14 year old girl stands up and dances while standing in place (similar to the dancing banana in the above post) to tunes on the PA system between plays.

Same here T-Mac. We are in Section 108, Row HH. I was trying to be as loud as I could be and two rows in front of me, the older couple kept turning around and frowning with dirty looks. I did not use foul language, but was trying to be loud. Why don't they just stay home? They sit there like bumps on a log, taking up space with no involvement.
I thought the crowd, at least in our immediate area, wasn't near as loud or involved as past years. For the first few years, most would stand up for big downs and make a lot of racket. Not anymore. Very little yelling verses past years. Not sure why. Just disappointing..... but, of course, I expect a lot. Go Monarchs!!!

Yeah, I don't want anyone to stay home. I just want people to respect that fans practice their fandom in different ways. Some people show their support by donating lots of money and sitting quietly throughout the game. Others donate just as much money, but want to help the team as much as they can. I don't feel it's any more necessary for me to yell at them to stand up and cheer than it is for them to shoot me dirty looks because they want me to be quiet.

RE: Please i am not a hater of old ppl
For those who have criticized the "old people" for not cheering at games with the same fervor as some younger people...if you did not go to the game on Saturday due to the rain or you left early due to the weather or the way the game was going, some old people who stayed at the game til the end and didn't boo the team may have set a better example of fandom. Just sayin!

RE: Please i am not a hater of old ppl
I think it is just wrong to boo players, either from ODU or the other team (except for an obvious personal foul). These are just college kids who are playing for love of the game/college tuitiion. They are going to make mistakes and at times, play bad.
I will boo NFL players, because those guys are making millions of dollars and the name of the game is winning. But college? I like to win as much as anyone, but c'mon.

RE: Please i am not a hater of old ppl
I was there is my son and wife for the whole game. I did not boo, but did offer some suggestions to BW and our offensive coordinator. I will not call out college kids, because to me they are kids and they were doing their best. We were beaten by a better football team that was motivated and better prepared.
Our offensive coordinator needs to up his game level to FBS. He does not have Taylor and the receivers to bail out some of the bad play calling during games anymore. Case in point, whose fault is it is receivers do not understand the importance of running the proper route at the proper depth? I would not blame the kids. Obviously if they are doing those things in games, they did them in practice.
