Same pace as last half dozen years. And as the count goes up it always speeds up due to excitement. Someone needs to teach them to be patient and understand that the slow jeer is what makes it great

Yes, it seems to be.

It's been too long since I've been able to attend in-person. It has seemed to be quicker, but I know the excitement factors in.

It's great at any pace, though.

I was hoping for a "walk 11" chant yesterday every time there was a 3-x count.

I try my absolute best to keep the chance slow early on, but it deafly gets louder and faster the more balls you add. I think that creates a little more anxiety for the pitcher overtime, there's definitely an entertainment factor there.

Tom Scibelli, aka Tommy Smokes, Fordham class of whogivesa****, wasn't too impressed with this...

Fordham (apparently an A-10 school in the Bronx) pitcher Marc Bisogno had thrown nine straight balls against the Aggies Saturday, leading to a vicious "Ball Eight" turned "Ball Nine" chant by their fans. The announcer called it "possibly the best venue in the country for college baseball." I beg to differ. The best venue for disrespecting and embarrassing a young student-athlete, maybe.

"He only did it for the fans".

Yeah, I'm sure his coach was thrilled....

I've never seen anyone ***** about an air ball chant in basketball being classless. Not sure why Ball 5 is somehow more degrading and humiliating.

We also yell a pretty vicious EEEEEEEEE when they make an error. Maybe the other team needs to toughen up.

I wish WJ would shut up about it. He actually said something to the effect that, looking forward to the "Ball 5" chant is the main reason Aggies are at the game.

I mean it's fun, but you're blowing it way out of proportion.

"Possibly the best venue in the country for college baseball." Yes, for sure, but it's for a lot more reasons than just the "Ball 5" chant. I sometimes wonder if WJ has ever been out of CS in his life. He's embarrassingly parochial.

Everyone criticizing the barstool blog, it was written in satire. Tommy Smokes is a Fordham grad. Not a single word of that blog is an honest or genuine take.

We yelled that more at Rick than the other team on Saturday.

Something like this would never work in MLB. That's what makes college baseball special!

I was listening to the game and the "do the skanky leg" comment caught me and my Dr pepper off guard.

There were three Forham fan's (parents of two of their players) sitting in front of us. They had heard about the chant and thought it was great.

What a *****. And yes it's been entirely too fast for a long long time now. Think of mimicking a foghorn for the pace, that should help out all the damn ADD fans.

Yeah. The Fordham fans were "so upset" with the crowd that they told me how much fun they had and how welcomed they felt. Then I watched them (properly) cross legs and sway during the Aggie War Hymn at Sunday's game. Really nice folks. Good luck to the Rams for the rest of the season.

Talked to a few Fordham parents before the Saturday game. All of them raved about Dox and how nice they had been treated all weekend.
