I would like to add the smoke right before the players run out back. I used to love that growing up then they just stopped.

I would still like a "real" Yosef with a long gun and pipe, and stick the cartoon one in the stands to entertain the kiddies.

I disagree. Live action Yosef would look EXACTLY like WVU.

While we're making complaint lists, can I add the following?

- No more "three fingers up" on third down. Clapping your frozen hands not only warms them up, it's MUCH MUCH louder. I hate when we started doing this a few years ago.

NO EFFIN' WAY!!

The crowd of 30k with three fingers up strikes fear into the hearts of our opponents and is one of our best traditions. The only time the hand should be taken down is if they're banging on the aluminum seat in front of them or cupping their hands around their mouth. Clapping doesn't add much noise.

I thought you wanted to bring back all the old traditions to App? We had a "Real" Yosef entertaining the crowds for years in Boone...

I for one think it'd be a great idea... But then again I'm also one that thinks it would be cool to have a "cabin" built in the corner of the stadium where Yosef could hang out/meet and greet..

Clapping is a waste of energy too. I use mine to form a funnel to better project my voice when yelling. Second best option is to bang on the seats, but I typically sit in the endzone with the lame fans, so that isn't an option.

Sometimes, Im surprised how loud it actually gets, considering while Im screaming my head off, the people around me just turn and look at me like Im nuts. Ive seen golf crowds wih more energy than my immediate area.

It's hit or miss with some of the alum sections.

That's why I still stand in the student section even though I've graduated. That group of 8-10k is ALWAYS rowdy.

I'd like for the crowd to yell "Oooooooooo....Welcome to the Rock!" as the kicker kicks off. (only for the first kick off of the game) For every other kickoff throughout the game, the crowd should yell out "hot, hot, hot" as the kicker booms the ball. :lol:

If you're one that doesn't normally yell, place some coins in a bottle and shake it like a polaroid picture. Does the Sun Belt have a conference rule against "artificial" noisemakers? Bring on the cowbells!!!

Audible clapping makes 0 noise. Yes, seems totally logical.

When I scream and clap at the same time, I'll guarantee you I'm louder than someone screaming and holding up 3 fingers.
