Crowd Quotations | Page 7

All economic movements, by their very nature, are motivated by crowd psychology.

We've been trying to simulate a lot of crowd noise. For example, at practice all week we've played loud music in order to simulate the chaotic environment. All season long we've played better on the road than we have at U-Hall. Sometimes there's not as much pressure on you on the road because there are no classmates or friends in the stands, and hopefully we'll be able to continue that trend. We need to be able to handle the atmosphere of Cameron Indoor Stadium.

We've been trying to sell it. I know there won' be the same crowd that there is in Camp Randall next year. But we're trying to get as many people in the stands as possible and make it a game-day environment.

We just have to go out, concentrate on ourselves and play off the emotion that crowd brings.

We just have to go back to practice and prepare. Defensively, we had some breakdowns tonight. We just have to go fix it and come mentally focused next time. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a big-time atmosphere in there with a lot of people. We just have to learn how to tune the crowd out and just play ball.

We just have to get another streak going. We also need to have a great crowd to come out and say goodbye to our seniors on Wednesday. That's a very important night.

Never follow the crowd. Go where it's empty.

My favourite festival experience is a show at midnight with the moon blazing and a crowd full of open hearts ready to dance.

My favorite was the first time I ever coached against FHU, we were down about 10 in the second half and still came back to win. The atmosphere for those games is simply fantastic. I'd put it up against all but five or six other places in the country at any level. Ask our girls that transferred from D-I places - they haven't seen crowds like that until they came here.

My fiftieth year had come and gone,I sat, a solitary man,In a crowded London shop,And open book and empty cupOn the marble table-top.
