WSU Coach Looking Forward to AU Crowd

[aucanucktiger 1,792]

I went to an Oregon home game when I was visiting my dad 4 or 5 years ago. Oregon had one of it's best teams in a half century and they were playing Oregon St (supposedly a big rival). It was kind of loud 2 or 3 times during the game for about a minute. The rest of the game (which wasn't a blowout) the fans seemed pretty disinterested, unless Oregon scored. It was beautiful weather. I felt like I was @ an Old Miss/Miss St game as far as fan noise and intensity. This Wash St. coach is smoking crack.

Let him think that all the way to Auburn. Cant wait to see his face at 6:45

“I don’t think it will be a whole lot different than Oregon to be quite honest with you,” he says. “You can’t hear yourself think in that Oregon stadium.”

Yes, I can see how it would be exactly the same. If he were playing UNA. Oregon's stadium seats a whopping 41,000. It's nearly as big as Scott Field in Starkville. It's exactly the same. No difference.

Duck ponds and whatnot

As a UNA alum as well as an AU alum and current student, I can confidently say that there is absolutely no comparison between the two. You could give every fan in Oregon's stadium a cowbell AND and airhorn and it would not be as loud as when that eagle flies and that team runs out in JHS on Saturday.

It's going to be a good ballgame, no blowout for sure. I hope our guys are mentally ready.

Why won't it be a blowout? They went 4-7 in the Pac-10 last year and lost their All-American... they're playing on the road against a preseason Top 10 team in a hostile environment.

You guys might be a little scared b/c of AU's recent woes in season openers. That all changes Saturday. I'm picking you guys 34-14.

They were 4-7 last year, losing 4 games by 4 points or less. By Bama standards, they pratically won the MNC!!

Dude, that was hilarious...

I wonder if he is going to have a Janet Jackson-style headset, a la Les Miles in HIS first SEC game (stupid schmuck - who wears an EARPIECE into Neyland Stadium???), or if Doba will be smart enough to bring the full coverage noise reduction headset? If he has anything less than a full on coverage, he won't be able to hear himself think, much less hear the booth.
