Some of this loss is on us, the fans

Blaming the fans. Lol.

This board is falling apart today.

Sorry but this is one of the dumbest things that is always brought up here. It's almost as bad as the guys who always blame the refs. Yes the crowd no doubt makes a difference but these guys should be able to play for a few minutes without a loud supportive crowd for 2 minutes. OSU was better, plain and simple.

It's not dumb and here's the answer for the lower level people who go under the lower level for halftime or even before the game. If you stay in the lower level establishment too long, you stay there until the 16 minute timeout. Put someone at the tunnel to monitor this and put out an email to the season ticker holders. This is what they use to do at high school games years ago so the players and other fans weren't disrupted. Too tough to monitor the people who use the upper concourses, but you can monitor the lowest level.

Ted, it is dumb! It is dumb as this is being portrayed as a reason MU lost the game. I would say zero effect. I do agree that it is a bother to other fans, and maybe they should have to wait for a timeout or stop in action to climb over other people in their seats. As one of the prime offenders of this rule, I would have no problem staying out on the concourse for a stoppage in the action.

I watch games on TV and the lower bowl has a ton of people who haven't returned from halftime. I didn't say it was a reason we lost. I say it because it's disrespectful to the players, the other fans at the game and looks like **** on TV!!!!

I agree with all of that, but Gato who started this thread, said "Some of this loss is on us, the fans", I couldn't disagree more with that commentary.

Fine, that is your opinion (the same one who was incensed at the MUHS team for jumping on your precious high school logo, yet this one is garbage? WOW). Remember, your opinion is yours and yours alone. Some may agree with you (idiots?), some may not. So you disagree, so what?

Blaming the actions of the fans for a loss just wreaks of excuse making, as does blaming the officials. As far as jumping on another teams hs logo, that is just dis-respect, and I stand by that! If Gato would have stated that it is disrespectful to the team, disrespectful to the other fans to return to your seat late, I would agree 100%. To say it has anything to do with a loss, I could not disagree more.

Again, it is your opinion. Not that I respect it, but yours alone. Gato did not say it was the reason, but at a key point in the game, it had an impact. You disagree, again, so what?

I mentioned the MUHS incident, as I think that speaks to your thought process. Again, one I do not share in any way, shape or form.
