Bohl on crowd noise and Youngstown audibles

[HerdBot]

I watched the press conference on gobison.com and Bohl was talking about Youngstowns offense and how they do a lot of audibles at the lines of scrimmage. He says they can still audible with crowd noise by using hand signals but that limits the number of changes that you can run. Basically extreme crowd noise limits the offense of the other team. I've never heard him be that detailed before.

Update : the ysu qb said in a press conference that be didn't think the dome was that loud last year. Time to step up to the challenge Bison fans and make the dome (as Pantera puts it) F#%*ING HOSTILE!

No, I mean literally this exact thing about YSU was posted about 2 days ago.

[IBleedYellow]

In other words: Bohl says we need to be loud. SO GET LOUDER!

In all seriousness, I'd say that his comments were more towards the lazy butts that don't want to move or stand up. Not the likes of us who come to these boards.

I informed my girlfriend that she has yet to experience a true FFD atmosphere. She has only been to two Bison FB games-->RM and PV A&M. I think and hope she is in for a pleasant surprise Saturday. Let's get that place rocking!!

P.S. I am already way to wound up about this game. Major stepping stone to our ultimate goal IMO!!!

Has anybody alerted the Minot Daily News?

Seems like it's time to do a follow-up their scathing editorial about Joe Chapman saying that banning alcohol from tailgating would hurt NDSU's football program*.

* Which is not what Joe said at all... in fact, if you broke their editorial down into the smallest possible meaningful components, the only thing that the Minot Daily News got right was that Joe was the President of UND. And, no, the Minot Daily News never corrected their mistake.

[ysu622007]

From what I've seen from YSU this year, the majority of our audibles come from the sideline with nonverbal signals after the OC sees how the D is set (audibled on almost every play against Pitt). Hess and the other skill position players will get the call visually and Hess will let the linemen know the protection verbally. YSU has played in East Lansing and State College since wolford took the reins so I think they'll be able to deal with the noise when it comes to getting the play set. I would still like to see them put in a silent count though because false starts could be a problem if you guys have it rocking.

It will be rocking, that we can guarantee.

YSU is a good team. I expect them to handle the environment just fine. Just an added element for them to overcome to leave with a win. It will not stop the crowd from trying to make it hell for them though.

Can't wait till Saturday!!

What kind of crowd do the YSU faithful expect to bring on Saturday??

It may not seem possible but even talking to his linemen from a foot away may be difficult at best when it gets loud. Can't think of a team that didn't underestimate the crowd noise over the last couple years. Now if they can take the crowd out of it, then of course noise will not be a factor. It will be interesting to see if the crowd can 'get back up' after YSU has a good drive.

Considering tickets were sold out in 10 minutes, I will predict that YSU will have as many fans as PVA&M or Robert Morris. Bison fans aren't selling tickets to YSU fans for this game. Bison fans are barely selling tickets to other Bison fans for this game. The Penguin player ticket allotment will get used a little and those will be the only fans in Red at the dome.

Aren't they alloted several hundred tickets though? We have seen much larger visiting teams contingents in that section than the two teams so far this year brought. I personally like it when the visitors fill their allotment. And I am also curious to get an idea of how many may be available for sale on Friday morning for some friends that may be interested in purchasing said returned tickets.

They are given 500 tickets in that section. I can't remember how many they used last year, but I don't think I remember anyone using them all except maybe UNI.

Pretty sure away team allotment is 200

[ysu622007]

Probably won't be a lot of YSU fans making the trek. YSUs alumni are spread pretty far and wide (surprised how many are here in N.Carolina) so some in Minn and the Dakotas will probably be there. I can't imagine that a ticket to fargo or Minneapolis and then making the drive is cheap so don't expect many from Ohio. Thats the one issue we have with being in the MVFC, our nearest opponent is in Terra Haute!

It can get ludicrous loud in the Fargodome. I was trying to talk(yell) to another photographer standing next to me on the field after the go ahead TD in the SHSU game and he couldn't hear me. In fact, it can get so loud in the Fargodome that they don't use decibels to measure the sound pressure level, they use megabels.

[roadwarrior]

The visitors do not get all of section 23. Any of us could have purchased tickets in this section back in August. Obviously many of us did. The away team gets 2 tickets for each player on the travel squad plus a certain number for school officials. I am pretty sure it is no where near 500.

The NCAA has a ticket allotment requirement for the playoff games though. This one might be the 500 tickets.

I watched some highlights from last years YSU game, it was not even close to a loud crowd. You could see empty seats real easily even with poor video quality. If the noise level is even near what it was last year during the playoff run, I believe they will be surprised by it.

^^^ Amen to this ^^^ The Fargodome crowd found their voice over the playoff run last year, and it should be back since it is Homecoming and YSU is coming to town.

[westnodak93bison]

I've got a feeling the crowd will really be into it. I think the average fan has really increased their knowledge of the game and now knows when to crank up the volume. It's not just on 3rd down anymore.

[coloradobison]

Hopefully homecoming and the lack of available tickets brings with it an atmosphere sort of like a playoff game or the UNI game last year. I think it will be a close game throughout so hopefully it's loud in there well into the 4th quarter.

Last year, we had this long thread complaining about student attendance for the YSU game (hunting opener plus Veteran's Day) - kind of got me riled up IIRC.

Disagree with you, but sure hope to be proven wrong (like how TAB took me to the woodshed yesterday). I thought the opening game crowd, even at the very beginning, was pathetic (specifically, the east side of the field). Those crochet patterns take some serious concentration.

@Bold: These two things are not mutually exclusive. I think the average fan has in fact increased their knowledge, whether by choice or exposure. Likewise, I think the opener crowd was dull, but not because the former is inaccurate but; rather, because the opponent was incapable-->and the crowd knew (aka, increased knowledge)

How's that?

I'm hoping YSU is expecting crowd noise like last years game and gets crowd noise like GSU/UNI games. IIRC last years YSU game was the day they acknowledge the senior players, and Thunderstruck got cut short and the lights came on early. The crowd never recovered and the whole game just felt off.

[CaBisonFan]

I think that there's more awareness of Youngstown State in the general fan population now. I'd guess that a majority of fans remember the loss last year...and the fact that they beat Pittsburgh this year. Other than that, most will know that there's a really good team coming to town.

But...it won't have the intensity of a playoff game. The playoffs bring a whole different attitude. Crowd noise will be very good.

I know you'll never believe this, but it is quite possible that the dome is louder than those venues due to the roof. Last years game was not typical of an energized crowd in the Fargodome. I'm guessing the Penguins will deal relatively well with the noise due to the fact that they have played in hostile environments before.

[Bison03]

Teams practice with the silent count all the time, especially teams coming to the dome. But when it comes to the actual game, the online can sill jump from not hearing or seeing the snap. I think if we can get the crowd close to playoff decibels, it will make things difficult. It's time for all those new season ticket holders and diehards to show the new era of fan loudness.

I remember my father telling the story of when he went to game 6 and 7 in the metrodome for the twins in the 1987 world series. He said they had a decibel meter that they broke from all the noise. I guess I don't know what the official level was that pushed it over the edge but that's still pretty impressive. Not sure if this may have been what you were referring to but I'll at least affirm the metrodome has had decibel meters in there before based on that story.

[Tatanka]

The Hearnes Center at Missouri had digital readouts in the corners by the court. Pretty much always above 100.

[AjaxTheMighty]

You can't consistently operate at peek performance if the decibel level is as loud as a rock concert. It's hard to work like that. Be loud! We can make life tough and have an effect on the game. It doesn't matter if USC came in here, it would be ard to deal with.

Go Bison!!

Yeah, but that was more likely the GSU game :D

NC game was loud, but not dome loud.

I assumed he was talking about this.

Yes, it was tremendously loud after that TD. Plus, many people had left, assuming that the Bison would lose. So the decibels per fan was way off of the charts that day.

[Hammerhead]

It must be the people that sit on their hands that always leave early. Watching various college and NFL games on TV, it seems like the cheers for the home team are just as loud after 1/2 the seats are empty when a good play happens as they are in the 1st quarter.

I thought about that, but I don't really regard that game as loud in comparison to UNI or GSU last year. But, I guess that is just me.

That game, overall, was probably not as loud. But I think what the poster above might be saying is that play drew a crowd noise that rivaled any playoff noise from last year.

Precisely what I was talking about. That was the single loudest moment I've witnessed on the field of the Fargodome during the past 5 years. There have been plenty of games where the crowd was making noise for much more of the game, but that still is one of the loudest single moments. If there had been 19,000 fans each screaming that loud instead of the 7,000 that remained, there would have been eardrums exploding all over the Fargodome.

No, I mean literally this exact thing about YSU was posted about 2 days ago.

I dont beleive it!

How was the sound meter today?

[Jude3]

How was the sound meter today?

On the radio Scottie said that sight on sound is measuring the levels in the dome this year and the meter hit 124 decibels today.

Not near Georgia Southern imho. Kind of mellow imho but what do you expect with an ass kicking of Bison proportions?

well..its almost starting to be expected to show up...kick some ass...go home now.

Site on Sound was just the sponsor for it AFAIK. There was some dude holding up what looked to be an iPhone with a small mic on top in the endzone, usually near the band or the student section.

I don't know if I'c consider it an accurate measurement, but could be considered for comparisons to other games in the Fargodome.

Disappointed. Game was lame after figuring out that NDSU was woodshedding this team like a drunk stepfather.

[A1pigskin]

I didn't think it was as loud as Georgia Southern game.

My ears aren't ringing. We simply did our job when necessary and went home.

[HerdBot]

I thought it was very loud. Not Georgia Southern loud but the first half was impressive. Had a playoff vibe but still too many people sitting on 1st and 2nd. 2nd half died down but for a blowout it was impressive.

[bri-dog]

Well, I'll be damned. I just watched the replay on ESPN3 (the sound pretty much sucked at the watch party in CO). They talked about the 115 decibels, and how it can cause eardrum and ear lobe damage.

And here I always attributed ear lobe pain on Sunday mornings to my massive hangovers.




Glad to know that it's never been my fault...

[Putz]

I didn't think it was as loud as Georgia Southern game.

Agreed. Didn't have the intensity of the gs game, but my ears are ringing so must have had good volume at the beginning.

[BlueBisonRock]

Think about the William's pick and then tell me that there were no significant noise filled moments during the game. Yes, there could easily have been a more sustained intensity ... but that moment was an eruption.

And, what the hell is the sense in doing the wave when our offense has the ball? Is there a remedial 'how to cheer' class being scheduled?


Please remember I am a bit less sensitive after driving 5 hours. I should be my normal lovable self tomorrow.

IMO, we're usually busy cheering on the defense so the wave would distract from that intensity.

If they let me down on the field, I'd be happy to set up my TermLab SPL meter that is certified accurate to 185 dB so we could have something resembling "official" results

With a 38 point lead in the 4th quarter, I don't think it was that big of deal. It's not like the wa e is loud. And I doubt the offense was distracted at all. Maybe 5th graders would be, but not college football players. It was more or a, this game is a blowout and let's do something fun as we are blowing them out. If the crowd was doing the wave in a close game, then I would have a problem.

Good to know your perspective.

I simply am not a fan of the wave.

WHoooo!

Well, I do have experience with an AudioControl RTA, but it's been about 15 years........

The guy I saw holding what I believed to be the spl meter had it about shoulder height and maybe about 5 feet in front of the stands.

It's impossible for spambots to sit and knit on first and second down, therefore it's incomprehensible to gabe that people in the real world would choose to do so.

The students' WIPEOUT dance is gold though. Great student section.

[NDSUBowler]

Love that. I feel like that and the hands up on kickoffs are our 'signatures' (moreso than the 'thats another bison first down').

It's fun to do the wipeout and its fun to watch as well. Seems like it has really been embraced by the students in the last few years especially.

[BlueBisonRock]

Wipeout is excellent. And the student section is to be commended. They were still in the house in the middle of the fourth quarter. And they were rockin'.
