Ktmguy2018 No. 1 Share Posted October 23, 2022 ESPN GameDay, Top-10 matchup, Top notch facilities, Autzen crowd. Could a recruit ask for anything else? The atmosphere in Autzen yesterday was UNREAL!! It was the loudest I have ever experienced and it never let up! I know everyone in my section took credit when UCLA had a false start. The electricity and buzz in the crowd could have powered the lights! I can't imagine being a recruit on that field, unable to hear your own thoughts, and feeling in your core the support and love of the crowd. What a day to have some visits. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic No. 2 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) Yep! (but imagine the same if they were in the Horseshoe with 105,000. It'd look like the entire state of Ohio had turned out for the game.) Edited October 23, 2022 by Mic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Big House was that cool....why is the (arguably) nations best HS QB coming from Michigan to Oregon? 1 2 3 5 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fathertime No. 5 Share Posted October 23, 2022 MIC And imagine being a recruit with 105,000 and watching your team lose to an away team with an inferior coach; as opposed to watching your team win with a coach who has some bravado aganst a coach who we know has some bravado. Just thinking that Dan Lanning "Won the Day." 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, but I was saying (in effect) imagine the scene IF the crowd in the Horseshoe were as loud, as active, as pumped as the Oregon fans? Translation: I want to see Autzen get bigger! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think any recruit, looking at the crowd and then the players on the sidelines has to think "that looks like fun'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fathertime No. 11 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Look at the crowds since 2011, how many times did we really need a bigger stadium? Nothing worse than playing in a stadium that's half full and not rocking. Right Bruins, Cardinals, Bears? You might be able to add 7,500 seats and still keep Autzen, Autzen; even in the Taggart of times. Besides, what else is there to do in Ohio this time of year? Beach, ocean, mountains?

David Marsh No. 12 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Autzen is the loudest stadium per capita in the country last I checked. And it is darn close to the same noise level as some of those 100k stadiums... If not louder than several of them. And the other thing is that Oregon brings the eyeballs to the TV so that doesn't hurt either. Come to Oregon.. you'll get plenty of exposure. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
