If you sat in Sections 1-24 or 33-44 yesterday...
YOU ROCK! THANK YOU!!!
The Big House was a fantastic atmosphere yesterday all around, but the one thing that I especially noticed was seemingly all of the nonstudents were standing and yelling on every Northwestern third down.
Many students were remarking on this throughout the game; I know that people typically say the stadium feeds off of the student section, but we rely on YOU just as much! It's awesome to see the stadium rise around you!
Keep it up next week and let's make life as tough as possible for that Sparty offense!!!
GO BLUE, BEAT STATE!!!

Thank you to the students for not emptying out in the fourth quarter. I brought a friend from out of town to the BYU game and she couldn't believe how empty it was by then. This goes for the rest of the stadium, too, but the student section especially.

The coaching staff also had some out of town visitors who I'm sure we're very impressed.
October 11th, 2015 at 10:13 AM ^
are!

That definitely helped a little bit.
However, I've been to a few Homecomings and none have come close to yesterday.
This fan base is hungry and we need to do our part. "If you're for us, you're FOR US!"

Speaking of which, does anyone have video of the chant?
October 11th, 2015 at 2:35 PM ^
The woman a couple rows in front of me turned around and asked "have you ever heard this before? We've had these tickets for (I think she said 20) years and I've NEVER heard this"

just to see how well that Dee-Fense chant came through on the DVR recording of the game. It came through loud and clear and Matt Millen commented on it as well. Huge highlight and the D will feed off all that love big time.

Any get video of it? None of the highlight reels have it thus far

If you have access to BTN2Go (you just need your cable subscribtion password, assuming that you get BTN on your TV) you can rewatch the part of the game with that portion.

finally started a wave on time too
October 11th, 2015 at 1:10 PM ^
To be fair, how many students actually know how the wave is supposed to work after the last 3-4 years?
October 11th, 2015 at 9:15 AM ^
It was so unreal. The whole place was electric, hasn't felt like that in a long while. I had lost my voice by the 2nd quarter. The DE-FENSE chant at the end of the game as awesome!
Go Blue! Beat State!

It's been 4 years since being in the Big House. My wife and I brought her mother and father. What a great game to bring them to. The weather was perfect! The opening kickoff came right at us for the TD! What a way to start a geme. Our section was up every 3rd down and the defense is just so good to see perform at a high level. With a few minutes to go my wife said "let's go", I told her no way, "we are staying until the end" I wanted the shut out like everyone else. The chant at the end gave me goose bumps.
Also wanted to point out what a great half time show.
I just love how everything is being run now. Go Blue!!

My sofa was rocking the whole game, too.

it sounded like the defense chant was started by the south end zone. well done!
October 11th, 2015 at 9:27 AM ^
I have been to many, many games over more years than I like to admit (46), and yesterday was the most vocal crowd in a game with an opponent not named OSU, ND, or MSU, that I can rememember and for games that were not close after the first quarter, it was by far the loudest, without regard to the opponent. We too were standing on every third down play. Great atmosphere!
October 11th, 2015 at 9:42 AM ^
for being so amaizingly spirited all game long!
That the atmosphere was so energized from start-to-finish yesterday is a testimonial both to how much we all understand what we've been through and to how much we're all fired up about the present and future of Michigan Football.
From Schlissel, Hackett, and Harbaugh on down through every coach, player, usher, and of course the fans, we all feed upon each other's energy.
This is truly awesome to behold and to be a part of !!!!!

Remember to get loud next week. This is the biggest game in Michigan Stadium, argueably, in the last 10 years. Get loud, get there early.
October 11th, 2015 at 9:38 AM ^
Double Post -
but point is important, we had an definite homefield advantage this week, we need to have it for when MSU comes in.

We have seats in section 41 and 42. We sat in Section 42 yesterday and my wife and I both commented on the student section which was full and the most enthusiatic it's been this season.....for good cause!! We had some newbies around us who thought the student section was awesome and loved your wave. Go Blue!!
Next week Maize Out!!!
October 11th, 2015 at 9:48 AM ^
Glad that we could help with our part too!
Also, great point about the maize out. We need ALL fans wearing maize, not just the students.
Go Blue!
October 11th, 2015 at 9:43 AM ^
I noticed that everyone was doing the "you suck" chant on Temptation. Not just the students.

I love to sit in section 21 when I get the chance. TONS of good standers.
October 11th, 2015 at 9:49 AM ^
I can only afford to go to 1 game per year, but my 7 year old daughter and myself yelled our guts out for 4 quarters yesterday in section 39. Wish we could be there next week, but we will do the best we can from our living room. Go Blue!!

It was her first game going to the big house and she did not disappoint me. I was a little skeptical in taking her at first, but she was totally into it from the opening kick off. Even if we never go to another game in our lives, we will always have the perfect memory from yesterday.
October 11th, 2015 at 9:56 AM ^
When I heard the DE-FENSE chant go up! All the way over here in Eastern Europe -- It made me PROUD of the crowd! Respect to Durkin and the boyz!
October 11th, 2015 at 9:59 AM ^
Please keep it up if we lose! Got lonely last year.

by slightly altering the wording on my box of Honey Nut Cheerios™ :
Student sections are filled by students, not volume. You can be assured of proper student attendance numbers even though some settling of student attendance into lower rows normally occurs because...STUDENTS.

Well, at the very least I can promise you that my seating group snuck an extra person into Row 3.
