Just kidding..I figured something had tried to be done, it's just frustrating to see people want to be in the Ozone, but not want to be energetic. They must not realize how much the team feeds off that.

During the last two years when we tried our "section leader" program, I was one of five over there. That is the section where the frats/srats choose to sit. Granted, they don't wear their letters, but not a lot of people seem to anymore. They have kind of "claimed" that section and forced others to the middle. It sucks, but it was an inevitability.

Those are just the type of kids you want in the student section. They will be obnoxious and will have no filter. yes frat guys can be douches.. but we need to harness that to make fun of the other team. The Ozone seems very cliquey and I think it ruins the atmosphere and makes people not want to join. People coming in don't know anyone and often sit with maybe one or two people they know. Which I think is the problem with that section. It's not because they're frat guys it's because they know nobody except a few kids. We need to do a better job of getting to know everyone and making friends in the Ozone. Make people feel welcome. Also why does nobody paint there face anymore?!

It's more stage makeup than paint). Also that stuff is a pain in the butt to take off (scrub until your skin comes off then continue scrubbing). The opposing team sucks!

I haven't been impressed so far with the Ozone..granted we are coming off a long break, but it seems unorganized..Gotta make sure to coordinate with the band also.. "Buckeye Reject" was good last night, but you gotta have more ammo than that for their best players...He shut the Ozone up with a dunk..Don't stop hammering those guys...

Fun fact: Finally, O Zone membership cards are required to sit in the bleachers before tipoff. After tipoff, people can move down. What you saw last night was that people who want to heckle and chant are closer to the floor than in games past. Went a little too far west, let's go SJ Earthquakes!

Even after the game starts? One of my favorite things about going to the games is watching the student section.. Sad that the administration is keeping them from truly reaching their potential.. There are about 10 guys that do a decent job down there. I think the number one guy last game was the older gentleman.. I could hear him across the convo and I was in the upper section. Keep him.

Just make sure it's obvious that you're having fun and engaged with the game and the rest will fall into place.

Honestly, since that policy started, the people that want to cheer all game get down there. We have a ton more fun, and are able to get more people involved in new chants.

Who is policing the entrance? Who is charging for membership? There are power in numbers I think. I'd want as many people down there as possible.. The few that aren't cheering will either feel dumb and start getting loud or they'll leave..
