I can’t tell the difference from TV myself. I saw lots of people cheering when they scored. The RCA dome was a small and a small crowd could make that place loud. I saw final fours there with a quarter of the crowd and it was loud. Saw opposing fan bases come in and make noise with few people. I think the new stadium kills sound, that big open space in the middle sound just floats in there and dies. Your viewpoint is so controlled with a broadcast I don’t really trust it. Could be as simple as a mic sensitivity turned down accidentally.

Yeah, I wanted to keep Manning also.
I was rooting for the Colts in those late-season 2011 games for 2 reasons ........ one was that we still had Manning, and I would have been fine if we had continued the course with him. He was in the twilight of his career, but he was still very much in his prime, as evidenced by his incredible 2012 season with a brand new team with brand new players in Denver.
The other reason why I was rooting for the Colts in those games is that it is literally impossible for me to root against them, regardless of the situation. One time in my life, I actually tried to root against the Colts because I had an ulterior reason ........ that experiment lasted all of about 5 minutes. I called my brother on the phone and told him about the situation, and he told me that because I have been rooting for the Colts for so long, it was counterintuitive for me to root against them, regardless of whatever the secondary reasons may be.
