Don't get me wrong. I get as tickled as anyone, and root for them loudly and lustily. But tonight the energy in the Dome was so - - lacking - - and it felt like such a ho hum game (except for that bit in the second half when the team seemed quite lively) but bring in the walk ons at the three minute mark and it is 76 Trombones in that place! I felt a little bad for the "regular" team, but you can't fail to notice that they love the walk ons as well.
Why aren't we loud and raucous when the guys make good plays? The small crowd was three times as loud for the walk ons; it was startling how much louder.
It's an odd psychological phenomenon. I am not complaining. Just curious as to what others experience or what they think.
