Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 1131112, member: 27"] Yes, this is accurate. Good number for a MAC school and it beats the 9 we rolled out for the Nova game pretty badly. It is hard, very hard for a school to beat another one when outmatched in tubas and the fact that Syracuse was able to do it is a great reflection on the players, coaching staff and most importantly, members of the SUMB, who incidentally were in Buffalo Sunday, ensuring that the Bills would pull an upset win. My original My Take was written, as Dick speculated, on the way home, in that long expanse of Ontario between the border with Michigan at Sarnia/Port Huron and Hamilton, where the only thing of note is that, other than London, there is nothing of note there. I was pretty tired and missed some things. Here they are, in random order... The CMU baton twirler had a lot of spunk and grit, and a lot of everything else too. She was packing serious junk in the trunk. Orangello is right...the CMU students really like to dance in the flatbeds of pickup trucks. Some used their beer bottles as microphones as the attempted to sing the songs being played on nearby boom boxes. Seemed like a lot of the students made the pregame tailgate and a lot of them drank heavily. Was told the minimum drinking age in Michigan is 21. Might have been some violations. Mount Pleasant and CMU police were on the scene but let the students drink and party (they were not causing any trouble).

They did a good job making noise early in the game but once CMU fell behind by 14 or so, they left in a steady stream. Many CMU fans arrived late and this caused a lot of issues for SU fans trying to watch the game. Not sure how to account for this phenomenon. CMU also sent a large part of their band into the aisle of our section, where they played during game action (I believe this is illegal). They did this a lot. Surprised they were allowed to continue with it. The SUMB deploys small contingents of the band to remote corners of the Dome, but to my knowledge, no one from the band has ever visited the nether regions of section 302 (up near the Himalayan-like summit), where members of the Fine Lot tailgating crew reign supreme.
