re: Yelling during the game

In a big game, with a tight score, I yell really loud for most defensive plays, like probably 95 percent of the defensive snaps, I'm yelling really loud for about 10-15 seconds before the snap. Usually something like "HOOOOOAAAAA"

I can tell some people around me think it is annoying. People rearrange their seating in front of me. My grandson's friends left at halftime because they didn't like it. I think they just moved sections - or hope they did anyway. It was a great game and I don't want them to leave.

I'm not really abrasive or obnoxious, just loud. Is this ok?

Same...and if it's not ok I'm happy to not be ok.

My thing is most casual LSU fans LOVE to talk about hoe great Tiger Stadium is. They'll tell co-workers about how loud it is, how intimidating, etc. but the truth is, far too many people sit quietly and enjoy the work done by the other side of the stadium and forget to return the favor. The REASON the other side sounds loud for you, is because those folks over there are making noise.

ETA: I can tell how big a game it was by how long my voice is fricked. I sound like Darth Vader still today...
