Seriously, how do you win series against Tenn, ark and LSU, all legitimate CWS caliber teams and then get your cheeks blown open by a team that was 0-24 coming in???

0-24??????

So you play a team with a conference record of 0 - 24

After the sum of three home games the cumulative runs are 8 - 23.

Stuff happens. Missouri was hungrier?

Quit maybe? Hate to think about it but nothing else makes sense.

We're going to get swept by a Missouri team that came in here with an 0-24 conference record. This is the lowest of lows for this season.


Missouri was probably the best 0-24 team in the country


Half of the teams also lost today
Thanks Coach Slocum

If we expect the players to perform like professionals, then the fans should follow suit. Cut out the high-school BS. Get rid of the 'ball five' chant, the bubbles, the choreographed taunts… 'Rattlin' Bog' was a time-specific celebration. Its' time has passed. A lot of 'old Ags' don't want to admit it, but our fan base IS cringy.

Ok, one of the dumber posts I have seen on here in a while.

I'm cool with getting rid of rattlin bog, that was specifically a 2024 thing. I'm also cool with getting rid of other Schloss things like "good" and the dancers.

Getting rid of chants and bubbles is just dumb, that's college baseball at its finest

The "chants" are just finding different ways to sing the pitcher's name. Or "________er? I HARDLY KNOW HER!!"

Our atmosphere is incredibly stale, stupid and repetitive right now.

ETA: And I'm sorry, but since softball, the BV Bombers and every little league team in the area now does bubbles, it's time to move on from that. Flame away.

I am curious how you would like the fans to act. What do you feel is worthy of the college game?

I agree on the Rattlin' Bog being time specific, but the ball 5 chant is one of the best traditions in college baseball.

I take it you haven't been to many college baseball venues. There's nothing wrong with what the fans do at Olsen. What players from other teams really notice is that, even if you think it's "cringy," having fans involved is not all that typical. Most college baseball games are played in pretty dead atmospheres. Being an exception to that is a positive.

This weekend is one none of us nor ANYONE saw coming. I would wager there is something afoot which in time will come out. One loss is part of the craziness of college baseball. This year's Missouri team sweeping on the road against the preseason #1 is not realistic in ANY universe.
Yes something is very strange...I'm not accusing or implying anything. We were 40-1 favorites on Friday night and I believe it was similar the other 2 games. Of course these type favorites do lose however this was 3 in a row..

I believe these exclusively money motivated players are actively being coerced by bad guys who bet on things like - taking series at #1 & #2 teams on the road, then somehow managing to get swept by an arch rival and then swept at home by an 0-24 team.

Money Money Money



Quite possibly the worst music video and "singer" I have ever seen.


Was that the latest TexAgs Premium Ad???

Yes, singing "Sam" to the tune of "The Empire Strikes Back" really intimidates our opponents

I can't believe we're not going to find out what the parents said.

Or was somebody just fronting?

Well, what atmospheres do YOU like? I'm asking for schools, not Section 203 stuff you may dislike.

What we had pre-Schloss was a damn site better than what it's come down to. Also, Miss State, Arkansas and even Texas has a better atmosphere than we do right now.

And that whoop whoop song 5x per game or more? Jesus....like I said, stale, stupid and repetitive.

We used to play stuff like AC/DC and Ted Nugent and all kinds of great classic rock. I heard Chappell effing Roan and 4 different Pitbull songs on Saturday. Honestly, our in-game experience has been neutered.

Texas' game atmosphere is quiet and disinterested unless they play us. Then it's just slightly louder. They are the worst among the ones you listed.

Arky and Miss St have huge stadiums and it's good. The stadium size makes a difference. I hope we incorporate grills in the outfield areas whenever we expand. There are plenty of SEC schools with good atmospheres. All of them are different.

However, there are countless stories/interviews on how good Olsen is - from media, former players at other teams, visiting media, etc. I bet Oregon thinks we have a top notch atmosphere and would give anything to have it.

Schloss was the one who changed a lot of music at Olsen in 2022. There are songs I miss from back in the day that were Olsen staples. Send in an email to Gameday productions.

At the end of every season there are surveys sent out to season ticket holders. You should put that down if you're
A season ticket holder. I do.
