Can you feel it?

It's two hours before kickoff. I just had my usual pre game lunch. I'm overlooking the town from my window. Alcohol is being consumed on schedule. People are flocking here. I'm abot to go down to get in line as the gates open in 30 minutes. Haven't seen many MSU fans yet. The Rock is about to come to life.

Everyone has tried to upset us. None have done so. As the tempature drops, so does all your hope. Through your TV screens, you will witness why you can't compare us to anyone else, why we haven't lost a home game since 2002, and why we've been favorites wire to wire.

Now sit back and watch on ESPN2 as your season ends at the Rock.

I hope you're wrong, obviously, and look forward to watching the one program I felt that given the opportunity to line up against most SoCon teams would serve my roots proud. My guess is we'll all know about 5:30 p.m. MST (the real mountains, not those inhabited by hillbillies of their own venacular.) I'm going to wait for my other half to return from the hospital to see if my nine-year-old broke her wrist sledding on a real mountain and sit and comport her as we yell for the Cats on ESPN2

Hope the kids on both teams make us all proud and may the final score be determined by the kids on the field instead of what we as Bobcat fans are all to used to seeing them subjected to as we go for Number 2 on ESPN Two at 2:00

Hope ya'll are a couple hours late, know what I mean

About to roll out to The Brier Creek Ale House near RDU to meet the crew and watch the game. Black and Gold! I hope Boone is rocking after spankin' the Bobs at The Rock, a la taking the goalposts up King Street and then back down River St. and then into the Duck Pond after beating Marshall in the sleet in '91 or '92. That was big back in my day as a student. Can't wait for kickoff. As I said before to you Boblovers hope it is a good game, no ill will, just hoping you lose

Ya ever find it amazing that coaches who played in option offenses can never beat them? This will never cease to amaze me as today while we had three down linemen virtually the entire game--heck, that belongs on another thread...congratulations and I must confess, I hope you beat the Fizzlies so bad after they finally look in the mirror and discover their long lost head was actually a suppository in their own hind end and that's their ugly face instead of their tonsils

At least make us say our only loss in the playoffs was to the National Champions.

You know, ya'll weren't very gracious to the Furman fans for simply wishing us well the next game, but I for one can never ever sit in a dUMb section again, especially with my MSU gear.

App:Furman::MSU:UM

Our hatred of Furman is pure like your hatred of UM (or so it seems).

We got to get UM back for that 19-16 OT loss in the nat'l semis in 2001 in Missoula. ASU/UM is the game that many people have wanted to see since day one, but we got Youngstown State before then. At least we get a chance to prove ourselves in a playoff unlike the BCS....but that's another argument.

Thanks for the classy posts. Quite the difference from the UFFP board.

Love your analogies! I must confess, I rather enjoy the pure hatred within the SoCon whether it's Ape State (loved your Gorilla today again) versus GSU or Ape versus Furman. My favorite was in fact GSU-Furman, but it all pales in comparison to UT-UGA or some others. Had a kid in a neighboring school while in NW GA who should have been a fourth generation UGA Dawg sign a LOI to UT and Daddy kicked him out of the house and told him "Get that puke orange out of my house!" He had to stay with grandma for two weeks until daddy cooled down.

Unfortunately, out here we have families go to either school and there doesn't seem to be the deep seated rivalry outside the schools.

Anyway, good luck the rest of the way and sincerely hope we get to reciprocate the hospitality next year.

Congrats to ASU. They played a fine game and, no question, were the better team today. After the first two scores I thought to myself, Holy chit. This is gonna be a long day.

That being said, enough of this "THE ROCK" chit as if it's the best home field in the history of home fields.

Come on, now. One -- there was barely anybody there. Two -- the track around the football field is gayer than Elton John. That's some high school nonsense there. Oh, and don't let me forget how lame the soccer lines are.

Again, great game and props to ASU. However, you have a long way to go before you can true home field snobs.

Yes, it is fairly accurate. Besides, I'd like you to find a single post in any of these forums whereby I state anything positive relative the dUMb junior college in mazzola

It's personal and it's actually none of your business why I or any of my family may in fact view you or your "school" or any of your representatives with such low expectations. You are in a Bobcat Forum and the Smack Thread to boot, although the forum for me has about as much relevance for my disgust with your school. All I'd ask is you leave most of us alone and go back to your own efizzle site and bicker among yourselves. We lost today and we'd like to discuss what we perceive as problems without your enlightenment, thank you. Allow us to congratulate the victors in our own manner. FTG

There was at least as many people as last week (16,600) if not more. The home side was 96% full and the other side wasn't that bad. There was more people on the hill.

Yes, we hate the track too. The stadium's been there since the 60's so we got to live with it. We're renovating the stadium in the offseason to make a new press box, a visitors side press box, etc, but no track moving. It'll be there for at least five more years.

As for the soccer lines, we can't move them either. We just opened our new soccer field, but we still use the stadium field at times cause it holds up better in the rain. Also, it's field turf, so it won't be easy to get off.

Your gripes on the stadium are shared by many, but since we're in the mountains, there isn't much other option. We gotta do with what we have.

And ask some of your buddies how "lame" The Rock is when they get back. We make the most of it. We're rabid, faithful, and in big numbers. Ask them how the APP.....STATE chant sounded with each side yelling their word? I'm sure they can vouch how The Rock is not "lame". There's a reason we've won 26 straight home games.

Cledus · Post by **Cledus** » Sat Dec 02, 2006 8:30 pm

I'm sure the 26-game winning streak has a lot more to do with the quality of the team and a lot less with the home field.

The field may be the nicest and most impressive feature in Boone, but trust me when I tell you the MSU team was not intimidated. After all, MSU beat a BCS team. On their home field. The Cats have beaten UM in UM's house, which is a better, and more impressive, venue and even you can't argue that.

The point of my post was to let your team's play on the field talk smack for you because when the fans use THE ROCK as smack, it's totally gay when considering the stadium taken as a whole.

In 2004, we went 6-5 and we went 6 for 6 at home and beat No. 1 Furman at home. Our home field advantage does matter. In 2003 we went 7-4 overall and 5-0 at home. Tell me again that our home field doesn't matter.

It was evident MSU wasn't intimidated and they shouldn't be. I don't know anything about "UM's house" but I imagine from pics and attendance figures it's something to play in.

And why wouldn't we use "The Rock" as smack? Sean Connery is cool, so it's cool.
