Message: [QUOTE="85SUAlum, post: 872954, member: 1880"] I was at the game too and disappointed that the crowd wasn't bigger for our inaugural ACC game. I guess not having the students there makes a huge difference in crowd size and especially crowd noise - the cheer leaders were trying to get the people sitting in the student section going, but it seemed to be a tough sell. I felt like I was one of only a handful that were yelling out during the player introductions. On the other hand, not having the students there today is how I got such great seats for the game :) Agreed - I said to my wife after the anthem that this girl did a great job. Very nice voice and didn't try to "over sing" the anthem. Ditto here as well. I could tell by the mismatched shirts that they must have bee using fill-ins for the regular band members, but they still sounded great. LOL - I said something similar to my wife after the four minute mile run. I was sitting in section 102 and they started out and finished right in front of us. That female cheerleader was a tiny little thing and I too was impressed with her upper body strength and conditioning to be able to run around the court like that as well as the big and burly male cheerleaders carrying what looks to be a pretty heavy flag. Overall, I had a great time at today's game, although was hoping for a better offensive output from the Orange and an easier win. Biggest complaint was the nearly 9 minute FG drought in the second half - my hands are still hurting from clapping for so long. That and I couldn't believe when I saw people leaving early in the last minute or two when we were still up only 3 points! I mean, it's their dime and they are free to do what they want, but I just can't comprehend how you can get up and leave when the game is still hanging in the balance like that. [/QUOTE]
