" Fans Urged to Bring Back Towels Courtesy: NC State Release: 10/11/2006 Send this article to a friend Print Following the success of the white Blue Cross Blue Shield "Howl Towels" that were given away at the Thursday night Florida State game, fans are encouraged to bring their towels back to the remaining home games this season. In his weekly press conference Coach Amato made reference to the tremendous crowd support. "It was loud," Amato said. "I had some people I talked with on Friday that were at a couple of Southeastern Conference big games the last couple of weeks, and they thought the stadiums they were at were just off the wall. And they were here, and they said they didn't compare to this on that particular night." "I went to all those hockey matches, and as you walked into the arena they handed you either a towel or a pompom," he said, "And what it does, when you stand up and you do this (wave) with a towel, something comes out of here (mouth), too. It does. I mean, if I didn't have a towel, I wouldn't have stood up. And if I didn't stand up, I wouldn't have made any noise. But everyone else stood up and shook their shaker and noise came out of their mouth." "

lol looks like chuck has taken a course in psychology or something

10/13/2006 11:26:36 AM

it did look awsome...

only thing is ... I washed my 21 towels (stfu) and they all turned pink!

not bringin mine back

10/13/2006 11:30:58 AM

I never got one in the first place...oh well.
Those things must be fairly cheap to make, they just need to get someone to put their name on it and pay for it and give them out at every game....oh, and make them RED.

agree with everything but the red. everyone should be wearing red. white stands out and is more visible. looked really good in the student sections.

10/13/2006 11:47:48 AM

^i definitely agree about the colors and what stands out, etc

but still...it would be pretty wild if our team came out in the red tops and red pants, everyone in the crowd was wearing red and all had red towels

10/13/2006 11:50:33 AM

i cant find my red one, who has my shit?

red/white, bring one or the other. a mix would look pretty cool.... but all white definitely works the best.

"“It’s the loudest that I can remember in my seven years back here,” said NC State head coach Chuck Amato. “Coach [Bobby] Bowden called me and he got to talking about the crowd. He said ‘Chuck, we’ve been to Gainesville, we’ve been to the University of Miami at the Orange Bowl, we’ve been down to LSU, we’ve been to Auburn and Nebraska, but our people said it was the loudest stadium we’ve ever been in.’”"

10/13/2006 12:06:23 PM

^that's awesome, got a link for that?

10/13/2006 12:08:21 PM

That's awesome guys. Let's keep it loud for Wake!

10/13/2006 12:09:55 PM

more noise during defense means more screw ups for WAKE offense

10/13/2006 12:14:15 PM

the crowd was really the reason we won that game...

without the crowd being so loud, they dont burn timeouts early in the 2nd half... then they can stop the clock when we are taking knees at the end..

do it again for wake!!!

10/13/2006 1:45:13 PM

it'd be nice if that Bowden quote could be shown on the jumbotron every game

10/13/2006 1:45:58 PM

i debated making a new thread but i know ill be hated for it. so bring towels but more importantly WEAR RED SHIRTS. i see people wearing grey, white, black, etc. WEAR RED!!!

10/13/2006 1:47:14 PM

maybe we'll be able to fill up the noise meter in ncaa 08

10/13/2006 1:48:32 PM

Send a comment to the media department, you never know, they might do something smart for a change.

10/13/2006 1:48:43 PM

it wont be as red on sat. b/c its suppose to be cold and not everyone has red jackets

10/13/2006 1:50:20 PM

red sweatshirts maybe / i have like 10

10/13/2006 1:53:06 PM

a good idea to contact the media dept about it...but i doubt my email will do anything

anyone on here have any connections with those that run the jumbotron?

10/13/2006 2:02:07 PM

I'll be rockin' my RED NC STATE HOODIE

Every State fan should own at least one, c'mon

10/13/2006 2:10:46 PM

During freshman orientation there should be a dedicated presentation towards cheering at football/basketball games.

Too many people are screaming their heads of when we are on offense and starting organized cheers.

I try to say something to them, but they think they dont have an effect even though Brown and Evans are doing the quiet down motion I do appreciate their enthusiasm though.

10/13/2006 2:34:38 PM

i think weve been doing alot better job of being quiet when weve been on offense

atleast in my opinion

10/13/2006 2:53:57 PM

They should also teach everyone how to clap in rhythm during the fight song.

10/13/2006 3:03:43 PM

^i agree percy

10/13/2006 3:10:36 PM

remember when herbstreit said trestman looked like a big geek computer nerd

10/13/2006 3:13:18 PM

they should also teach them how to go, "NNNN... CCCC... STAAAATE... NC STATE!" like in the good old days, when the students knew how to cheer, instead of "N C STATE! N C STATE! N C STATE!" as fast as possible, until no one knows what we are saying.
