I was at the game.  There was no doubt the whistle was coming from amidst the Marshall fans opposite the Ohio side.  The first time it was heard occurred when Ohio was on defense, and it did cause Ohio defenders to hesitate.  Subsequently it was heard - coming from the same location - a few more times. 

Did it affect the game's outcome?  Not sure.  What I am sure of is that the loss can be attributed to Ohio's sleepwalking through the first one and a half quarters and falling behind 21-0. 

What I find interesting is pondering the mentality of a fan who would bring a whistle to a game, intending to try to disrupt the opponent's defense. 


Could it not have been a fan with an abnormally loud whistling ability? Why would the offense not stop as well if the whistle blew?

If everybody could hear the whistle it would disrupt the offense as well as the defense.

There is no way there would be any benefit to blowing a whistle at a football game. You would hurt your own team as well.


Security found the Marshall fan and escorted him, and his whistle, out of the stadium. As far as the benefits of blowing whistles at a football game? Maybe you are correct in assuming that it would negatively affect your own team as well. You have to give the guy a break on not picking that up though. He was, after all, educated at Marshall.

Is it Miami week yet? Those people know how to banter.


Too bad Miami sucks at football.



They're better than Marshall.

Are you capable of critical thinking? What I said had nothing to do with football. The quality of their team has no bearing on the quality of people that come here. Sadly, the same principle applies to you. Everything is answered with, "Yeah, well, X sucks at football!" I could talk about our wildflowers and you would respond that our football team sucks. I could talk about the great food to be found in Athens and you would respond that our football team sucks. I could talk about how Roderick McDavis revived a baby bird he found in the street and you would respond that our football team sucks.

You're not only stupid, you're getting boring.

Wonder if one of the classy Marshall fans is going to bring his whistle with him again this year to try to whistle plays to a stop when we're on defense, as he did at Ford Field.


REALLY???

You are bringing up a game from several years back and posting excuses?

I am pretty sure a whistle would effect both teams not just one. Why would anybody do that?


You honestly think there was a MU fan in the stands that left his house with a whistle thinking, "I'll confuse OU's defense by blowing my whistle during the game". Yea that will work

Maybe it was on OU fan whistling to make noise to confuse the offense


This was real. I was there. I heard it several times.
