Very true, but Bramlage today was loud the entire game where I feel like Hilton is not always loud throughout. All of these places are hard to win at.

Just being loud doesn't mean much. Hilton is special because the crowd is dynamic. Sometimes it stinks because people don't react right, but we pick the team up and pick our spots.

I don't know about you but I'd find it harder to study in the library if people started yelling than I would in somewhere really loud.

What is so shocking to me is that so many arenas have bleacher style seating. That. Would. Suck!!! No wonder KU and KSU fans stand so much. Is there anything more uncomfortable than sitting on a metal bleacher that you find in high school gyms??? That just looks low budget to me.

Well if you are talking dynamic, their student section was 10x more dynamic than ours. Btw I am a student in ours. Wish we would get rid of CAC or they would do something to make it better because they do essentially nothing.

All of their seats are padded besides the student section seats. Our section was right next to the student section which stood most of the time because you could see the other side of the court with the students standing.

They weren't on tv. Maybe it doesn't translate very well there.

I would agree on CAC. They are a big problem. It isn't that they drive people away but they prevent anyone from actually leading the students which hurts the atmosphere and that turns people away. The key is to get people who will actually lead instead of using it for front row seats.

For the guy infatuated with male sex organs a little history on the Pioneer Logo:

"Created in 1964, the DuPont Pioneer trapezoid symbol is made up of two parts – the design and its containing device. The upper part is an abstract plant symbolizing the vigor of the organization; the flower part of the design is a sign for infinity. The entire symbol represents product improvement through continuous research, which speaks for all products and services of Pioneer."

Just thought you might like to know.....

You talking KSU? They are bleachers on both ends and one sideline. It is a lot more than the student section.

I refuse to critique another court/field within the Big 12 until we add the conference logo to them.
There is a reason for that.

They didn't put it there after the flood because there wasn't stability in the conference. Then they haven't done it because they are getting a new logo next year. I think it should be there next year.
