[QUOTE="Longestday, post: 55907, member: 402"] Have you ever heard of the 12 man? How about the negative recruiting from our spring game and the 300 fans in attendance? How hard is it for a player to get into a game with a dead crowd? Or is there a home field advantage? Ever seen a QB try and call a play or snap count in a loud stadium? I guess recruits don't imagine a stadium full of people cheering for them. Ya, fans do nothing for the game (ever been to a Duke home game?). Fans do not win games, but we seem to be worth at least 3 points. How can 200 cards from a school effect a players recruiting? Why are college coaches on twitter now? Why do coaches have to go visit in person? Why is a weight room that important or indoor practice facility? Why are uniforms important? Why is having an ice cream machine important? A young athlete's selection process is not a logical decision that Sheldon can map out like making friends. These are both logical and very emotional decisions. Does the coach really want me? Do I feel excited when I am on campus? Do I mesh with the players? Yes, I am the fan that believes a dead crowd gets a dead game. I have seen the crowd effect the emotions of the players. We have all seen the players ask the crowed to be louder. Yes, I am the screamer that you all hate to sit beside. [/QUOTE]
