It's too bad Bryant-Denny can't be rocking like that more often.

Well, it was pretty electric in the first quarter but everyone got a little nervous in the second quarter.

The blue hairs and the Bama mindset ("we're just the best, blah blah") keeps the stadium more tame than most others in the SEC. Just my humble opinion of course.

This is changing a bit IMO. The first major factor I noticed was that they were/are? threatening the Greek section with the possibility of losing their seats or at least having worse seats if they don't stay the whole game. This means more students are staying which certainly helps the atmosphere. The second major factor is that the PA guy is playing more music that gets younger fans hyped up. I really don't think some of the older fans can be bothered to stand up and cheer regardless of what is happening, so they seem to be appealing to the students.

Going to games is more fun now than it was in previous years because the school is actively trying to keep people there and make the atmosphere better.
