Yes

Totally agree. I can tell you one thing for sure.....we had a much better home court advantage back before Marcus "organized" it. Students did their research on players and really came up with things to get into their heads. It is true that sometimes things got a little out of control back in the day. I rememeber the University taking away our student seats after a Stanford game because of the behavior towards Brevin Knight, which was totally out of line. But man, the students were LOUD, CREATIVE, INTENSE, and most of all TOTALLY RUTHLESS. And it WORKED. Back then Oregon had Pizza Boxes, Mop Bucket, Deadbeat Dad, etc. They had players flipping off the students because they were so far in their heads and game stoppage because opposing players were unable to shoot FTs.

Now Oregon has:
"EJ...EJEJEJ.."
"if your winning and you know it clap your hands"
and that timeout guy.

There is no research and no creativity, just the same tired stuff every game. Its kinda sad really.
