Okay. Her blaring siren song will lead me to my demise soon enough unless something is done. While I'm sure she means well, she has got to stop!

And if it's this annoying from just watching on TV, I can only imagine what it's like at WR!

What if we set up a GoFundMe page to collectively pay her to shut up!

She's the only evidence for life in the building right now (aside from the orange-clad). We need her now more than ever.

I'm only watching on TV, but I like her screaming.

I’m torn on her. She really bothered me today and it was just annoying and I’ve never once said that on here. With that said she’s got passion and that’s awesome. I was going crazy for our runs with my kids and was sitting just outside the Wilson club. For the most part those people suck. I watched as they hardly clapped during the big runs. They pay a boatload of money and do show up in NU gear but sit silent for the entire game. It sucks. We need hype people in there because it was terrible today against our biggest rival.

WR was a friggin morgue today. Yet, here we are again.

The place needs a desperate shot of enthusiasm, and I'll take anyone with good knowledge who brings some. She does that and more. Good for her!!

And while you moan about the screamer from home, consider Underwood's comment today about NU attendance.

"I'm sure Northwestern would like a better home attendance, but our fans took care of that."

I watched on TV and it didnt seem like the arena had much life. So you want to blame the screamer? Really?
How about you just stop watching the games on TV and just watch the game on espn gamecast?

I watched on TV as well and after about 5 minutes into the game, the other fans cleared out away from her. She was intense and we need that.

Not really, they didn’t make much noise either. Was very subdued for such a close game. Way louder for the Michigan game. Under500wood just wants to take the focus off of his awful play calls the last minute of the game.

Underwood has no class. Seeing this quote adds to my joy in winning today.

I don’t want to be THAT guy complaining about the Ref’s, but man were they bad. Bigs banging all over no calls and everyone else got ticky tack calls. Law was taken right out if his game by be afraid to pick up a foul.

Or just wait out the storm (season) since she graduates this year...
Once again, did not notice her on TV, but did notice that we seem to have an awfully good record in games in which BTN replays the connercial you are in...

Underwood is a prick.

We need Fitz to stand in front of the Wilson clubbers with his hand cupped to his ear. And maybe to push them out of the club and into their seats.

Tha's because they need Oxygen. Hard to get the energy to yell when you have to haul around those tanks.

So as you might guess from my name I am class of '67. Have hearing loss courtesy of the USArmy and wear hearing aids. I could not hear the screamer and wondered just how loud she could - until yesterday. I got new aids on Friday and somewhat unfortunately they are a vast imrpovement, heard her loud and clear yesterday. Sometimes better is not better. But agree, I like her enthusiasm.

I'll be interested in noting how loud and clear she is when the house is packed with other students rocking out. I suspect she is so noticeable and apparently loud because she is also the only real noise in the house.

I might be grumpier about it if I sat near her, but as I don't I think we could use more students with her dedication.

At least, that's where I'm sitting today.

Then go fund yourself!




Yup. Sustained high-pitch screams over and over again. Weird. It's not your typical short scream, so maybe mike doesn't notice it.
Yeah, also I'm typically quite focused on the game action. I'll try to listen for it next time on TV.

Same here. I didn't notice it initially but, in response to others' complaints here, I watched my DVR of the game briefly to check for her screaming. Yup. She was screaming her dang head off again.

It's probably best if you don't listen for it.

This is the best screamer post of 2019 so far

As annoying as she was, what stood out was how well one could hear her due to the rest of the crowd being so quiet.
