Oh yeah they are getting numbers through the door...the BU game was the
biggest attendance ever 5500something....

This is where the difference is right here. We as fans are just not
making enough noise....I mean the game against Colorado College way
back at the beginning of the season was about the only one that I think
we really made noise and influenced anything....The BU game the place
was dead , for the Merrimack Alfond was dead, and definitely last night
it was dead...I don't know what you can do to possibly spice up the
crowd...It's not like we have a lousy team.  I mean they are even with
every other team in HE so we should give them that extra boost out on
the home ice.  It is definitely going to hurt us when they go out on
the road because every other program has taken the page out of our book
on "How to win at home, MAKE NOISE" .
 
>  Are the students coming out to the games?
Yes, I think students are coming to games, I am a student and haven't
missed a game yet.  Lots of students are there.  I don't know numbers
but I do know that all the student tickets were gone for the BU game
and many times there is a mad dash by some of my friends to get one on
game night.  Although I will say that although we are there we really
aren't doing our part to make our presence felt.
