Actually, that is exactly what it looked like on tv, even though there were only two screaming fans in my family room. Two incredibly physical, defensive teams each imposing their will on the other. Anyone who thinks either team was playing poorly because of the hitting stats didn't understand what they were watching. Missed lines and a lot of digs were what exceptional blocking was giving up. Somewhere I saw a blog comment that PSU would have beaten either team last night because of poor play. That could not possibly be further from the truth. Agree completely - don't recall seeing a more exciting, harder played match, by 2 evenly matched clubs, both refusing to give up, from 1st point to last. Think it will be a long while before seeing one as exciting and hard fought as this one was. Great match and great win. And, I hope it didn't sound like I felt it impossible to "feel & fully appreciate" the match on TV also - I have to settle for it too, for away matches - but there was just SO MUCH atmosphere there last night, I couldn't imagine myself missing it live. Quite an athletic experience for me.

To anybody at the game: How are those big ceiling fans working?

I was there in August and the ceiling fans were great. They were amazingly quiet and cooled the gym considerably. The fans in the seats were loud and cool.

Thanks. We have some at our local fitness center and they do a great job of keeping the place cool and without noise.
