The Atmosphere of the World’s largest toilet vs the Big House
We keep seeing the Ohio State pep rally implore the fans to not allow Penn St to hear their signals. The scoreboard there reinforces this.
At our games, the scoreboard tells fans to be quiet and allow the opponent to hear their signals.
Why the fuck are we stupid?

What?
November 23rd, 2019 at 2:54 PM ^
I have seen the scoreboard at the Big House put up a PSA type message telling fans to basically STFU
November 23rd, 2019 at 2:56 PM ^
They flash the NOISE! graphic like 30 times a game, man.
November 23rd, 2019 at 2:58 PM ^
When they do it, it's a joke. And the crowd understands and gets louder.
Seriously, you didn't get that?
November 23rd, 2019 at 2:58 PM ^
That's sarcasm you imbecile
November 23rd, 2019 at 5:14 PM ^
There is something horribly wrong with you.
November 24th, 2019 at 8:04 AM ^
You’re the most sardonic person I’ve ever met and you’re asking this for serious? I mean it caught me off guard the first time I saw it but for like 5 seconds.
November 23rd, 2019 at 2:56 PM ^
It's done sarcastically. The OSU faithful wouldn't be able to fathom such a complex concept.
November 23rd, 2019 at 3:28 PM ^
Obviously there’s someone else that cannot fathom that concept.
November 23rd, 2019 at 2:55 PM ^
This can’t be serious right? It’s meant to pump up the crowd you nincompoop
November 23rd, 2019 at 5:10 PM ^
+1 for nincompoop
November 23rd, 2019 at 2:55 PM ^
I’ve never noticed the scoreboard saying anything like that. Having said that, I will agree our crowd is oftentimes pretty quiet, but it does crank up at key points in big games.
November 23rd, 2019 at 5:07 PM ^
It will say something like "[Opponent] needs you to be quiet so they can hear the play calls" followed by something to get the crowd to be loud. As far as overall crowd noise, I think it's better than it used to be. Not sure if that's because the boxes hold more noise in, people are getting louder, or both.
November 23rd, 2019 at 2:56 PM ^
And it's another jbrandimore hot take...
November 23rd, 2019 at 2:58 PM ^
Really? Ever seen our coaches tell the fans to drown out another teams signals?
November 23rd, 2019 at 3:00 PM ^
Yes, I've seen the coaches and players motion for more noise multiple times.
November 23rd, 2019 at 3:01 PM ^
Please tell me this thread is some kind of performance art and you do not literally mean what you're saying.
November 23rd, 2019 at 2:56 PM ^
It's the whole "we're not like THOSE PEOPLE" vibe that surrounds Michigan Football. I don't know why it's that way, but it's lame. Michigan is a huge sports school where the vast majority of students show up shit faced at games - just like every other large public sports school.
Football fans at Stanford and the Ivies are less pretentious than some of Michigan's fans. It's weird.
November 23rd, 2019 at 3:03 PM ^
Or, it's sarcasm that is clearly over your head.
November 23rd, 2019 at 2:57 PM ^
You have to be horrifically stupid if you don't understand those scoreboard messages.
This can't be serious, right? RIGHT??
November 23rd, 2019 at 3:02 PM ^
The Michigan fanbase has people like this who stare at the scoreboard at home games during 3rd down and are unable to grasp intricate concepts like sarcasm and sit there scratching their heads
OSU has toothless hillbillies who can't read and don't want to learn how screaming their heads off at every second because they don't know how to do anything else
THAT'S the difference in atmosphere
November 23rd, 2019 at 3:06 PM ^
Holy shit, the comments to this are incredible!
November 23rd, 2019 at 3:08 PM ^
You’re either a stupid person or a brilliant troll.
November 23rd, 2019 at 5:30 PM ^
Check his post history, he's definitely stupid.
November 23rd, 2019 at 7:29 PM ^
This is the truth
November 23rd, 2019 at 3:11 PM ^
If an attempt at humor: swing and miss
Otherwise, The Big House is as loud as any. Go away please.
November 23rd, 2019 at 6:03 PM ^
Is definitely gotten better acoustically since they added the luxury boxes.
November 23rd, 2019 at 3:15 PM ^
"Why the fuck are we stupid?" LOL
November 23rd, 2019 at 3:21 PM ^
MORAN!
November 23rd, 2019 at 3:29 PM ^
This CAN'T be a serious post. It just can't be. Because if it is, the world does not have enough facepalms.
November 23rd, 2019 at 4:21 PM ^
Are you one of those down-in-fronters I keep hearing about?
November 23rd, 2019 at 4:22 PM ^
Are you really this stupid?
November 23rd, 2019 at 4:49 PM ^
LMAO!!!
At one point, during the game last week, TV showed that on the big screen during a TV timeout. It caused me a double take before I realized the sarcasm of it during a 3rd down. OP probably saw it also, but took it seriously.
Good grief...
November 23rd, 2019 at 5:25 PM ^
You must not have attended a game this year, you Maroon!
November 23rd, 2019 at 7:25 PM ^
Long day of drinking eh?
November 23rd, 2019 at 7:25 PM ^

I think you are missing the /s from the scoreboard. The message I saw last week was stating that Michigan fans need to be quiet so the opponent could hear their play call, and to “do your part”, aka yell your ass off
