Sac State Roll Call

Have fun and be extra loud and cold ;) ! I bet you all can trick the Sac students into being loud when Sac is on offense and get some false starts for the home team.

This is solid advice. They've had false starts at home in the games that I've watched already. They get penalized quite a bit, including for holding which was kind of shocking considering Big Sky refs never call holding.

They're the most penalized team in the conference. Perhaps BSC refs are being a little tougher on them since they're headed out the door.
 
Kelly Holman was the referee for the Suck State/UNC game and normally I don't much care for him, although he is a highly rated white cap.
In this case, I wouldn't mind having him there on Friday. I may not care for him overall, but I trust that his crew will keep things under control. At this point, I am also very hopeful that our guys don't take the bait because I don't put it past Suck State to try to entice us into cheap 15 yard penalties.
 
Since we're talking about referees and penalties etc. I noticed that in the two Sac home games that I've watched parts of, the main camera is on the visitor side, facing the home bleacher. HOWEVER, the camera they use for the head ref to explain the penalty is actually on the other side of the field, which is very disconcerting in the game when everything switches 180° and then switches back again. I sure hope that ESPN does it differently on Friday because it's hard to keep track of what's happening with penalties with the current setup. I kept thinking the ref was pointing his arm the wrong direction until I figured out what was actually happening.

I doubt that they will tell EPSN what they can do, but someone had mentioned that Suck State did this to keep from showing all the covered seats, which is their terminology is probably more like "enhance viewership."
Thanks for pointing this out though, I was more listening to the game when I had it on Saturday night and I changed the channel at half time to catch something else and I missed Woody's remarks.

Traditionally, Holman's crew has graded out as the top officiating crew in the league. I think they also reffed the 22 National Championship game as well. Odds are unlikely they get assigned to Sacramento 2 weeks in a row but as long as we don't get the guy with the glasses then I'm ok with anyone else.
 
Having watched a couple of their home games, it does appear that their crowd does not know when or how to make noise. They do have one of those annoying announcers who drags out the thiiiiiirrrrrrrrrd when saying third down. I'm praying we don't have a lot of third downs so we don't have to listen to that.

Dude, I’ve never seen anyone treated poorly at a Griz game. Not one time. I’ve taken family members of mine who are bobcats to a cat Griz rivalry game wearing their cat gear and they’ve never had a thing said to them. I’ve never seen a single fight at a Griz game and I’ve been to at least 3 per season since 2006 and didn’t miss a :single home game while I was a student from ‘07-‘11. I chatted with vandal fans earlier this season while in line for food and they said it’s their favorite place in conference to attend an away game due to the facilities, fan support, and the way that they’re treated. If what occurred at sac last weekend EVER occurred at a Griz game I would be embarrassed and ashamed and demanding changes that prevented that type of crap.

So it’s my fault as a Hornet fan a fight happened? I’m trying to understand your logic.
 
Interesting email this morning from the school. They are having a flash sale of East (usually made up of visitors only) Grandstand tickets only ($10). Use code ESPN. It also looked like they were taking the tarps off this morning.

Well they're trying hard to fill the stands. Will it work? Remains to be seen.
