Favorite Spectrum Moments/Traditions
I'm looking for feedback on the most iconic moments and or traditions that have taken place in the Spectrum. For the Spectrum Magic shirts this year we wanted to incorporate some of those moments into the design. Since I'm only in my mid-30's, though, my memory is only good for three or so of the five decades of the Spectrum's existence.
Here's what's on the list so far (no particular order):
Water bomb against UNLV
Stew Morrill (all-time winningest coach)
Jaycee Carroll becomes all-time scoring leader
Wild Bill
I Believe/Winning Team-Losing Team chants
First game (95-89 victory over Ohio State on 12/1/1970)
Highest ranked team USU has defeated in the Spectrum (I'm digging deeper, but so far have No. 9 Nevada in 2007 in this spot)
142-140 loss to UNLV in 3OT in Jan. 1985 (set NCAA scoring mark at the time)
Welcome to Hell banner for BYU
Rumor has it the students smuggled in a chicken and threw it on to the court sometime in the 1970s in response to comment from New Mexico State coach or something like that. Can anyone confirm or deny or provide further details?
Thanks!

This video is one of if not my all time favorite moments in the Spectrum. This game was just a huge party from start to finish and pandemonium at the end. (You have to click on the title and click into Youtube to watch the video).

Re: Favorite Spectrum Moments/Traditions
Probably the loudest moment in Spectrum history. One of three games I remember when it was so loud, it was silent. I’ve never experienced that in any other place.Roy McAvoy wrote: ↑December 12th, 2019, 12:20 pmThis video is one of if not my all time favorite moments in the Spectrum.

Watching Jaycee coming off any screen (or two or three) outside the 3-point line was one of my all-time favorite things.

Yes. They were introduced in the 2009-2010 basketball season. Some guys on the front row, and specifically Fafner, introduced them.Aggieforlife wrote: ↑December 12th, 2019, 2:01 pmDoes any one know when about when winning team and I believe started?

Re: Favorite Spectrum Moments/Traditions
So Utah State actually created these cheers. No one else did them before we used them? Because I hear the I believe chant a lot in different sport events. Although I don't hear the winning team chant anywhere else.Roy McAvoy wrote: ↑December 12th, 2019, 2:11 pmYes. They were introduced in the 2009-2010 basketball season.

Re: Favorite Spectrum Moments/Traditions
Cardell Butler kneeling and kissing center court on Senior Night
Toilet paper toss
Jaycee coming off any screen outside the 3-point line
Stew Morrill stomping his feet on the sideline
“Don’t throw sh@# on the court!”
Tark masks
The first-generation game-day shirts with the 1 on it that Tyler Olsen did.
Getting the bumper sticker for my closet door that read: “Be a jock. Support the Aggies!”
The Scotsman coming to life with the arm movements and students singing the words
“I’m a little teacup”
Various posters: Waste of Tithing; Did you think to pray?; Rameumpton U; New Mexico - Not much different than the old one!; “Can you hear me now?”; life-sized poster of Reggie Theus;
9-point comeback vs. Boise State
Nevada 2009, 2019
Reid Newey hitting 3 to tie the game with UNLV late in the game when they were a top 5 team. loudest I had heard the Spectrum to that point in my life
Blair Reed beating Weber State on a buzzer-beater jump-shot from the top of the key that hit the back of the rim, bounced straight in the air and then dropped straight through
Silas Mills dunk to open the second half on the night we destroyed BYU and the Reid boys
Mike Santos’ afro
Giant Queta
Jim Boylen smashing the possession arrow
I wasn’t there but from my Dad’s account in the first year of the Spectrum there was a heated game against NMSU. Nate Williams chased one of their players up the tunnel. Two men were going at it in the stands in front of my dad. One of the guys took a swing, the other guy ducked and the punch landed in the face of the other guy’s wife . I think others on the board were there that night and can embellish the story.

Re: Favorite Spectrum Moments/Traditions
No, USU didn't create them, just perfected them. There are some who will claim San Diego State created them, and I've seen a few claim Ohio.

Yeah. I have heard some people say we invented it but then I hear others say we just made it popular.

Re: Favorite Spectrum Moments/Traditions
If you do a search here you'll find some great threads with the history of it. SDSU certainly didn't start the I believe chant and I'm not sure I've ever heard an Aztec fan ever claim that unless they are fairly new and misinformed. Some national articles were also written about its origin when the US Soccer teams started using them round 2014 and 2015. USU is noted in those articles as the one that popularized the chant even though the originators were the Naval Academy. The Wikipedia page on it is mostly correct and does mention USU as the first to adopt it after Navy.ThunderAggie wrote: ↑December 12th, 2019, 3:31 pmYeah.

Here's some early videos from that time:
The first YouTube of it being done at USU is here vs. Wichita St. (2/20/10):
I think it was done for the first time 3 days prior to this game against La Tech. but the broadcast did not include footage of the pregame ritual.

Re: Favorite Spectrum Moments/Traditions
That win over Utah in late 2008 when Jim Boylan went nuts was pretty fun. Also we talk about the (sad) choke to Pacific in 2005, but does anyone remember the great 20 point comeback against Pacific in 1996? That was a great memory where the crowd took over.

The decibel meter
I can’t believe I forgot the streaker against NMSU
Stew telling Jamar Young to STFU
Dick Hunsaker going after Stew and Stew almost killing him after a Ute cheap spot to Tony Brown the year Majerus took off was classic
Silas Mills “C” play
Aggie fans booing Brandon Fulluv so much that he couldn’t even catch the ball by the end of the game because he kicked Spencer Nelson
Chanting Novich Hunter’s name
Stan Pepek’s flat top
Chaz freaking Spicer’s three to down the Utes
Tai Wesley’s put back to beat the Utes
Butterfield’s the to take SDSU to OT
The Nevada game last year was one of the best
Oh so many great memories.

Re: Favorite Spectrum Moments/Traditions
There have been mostly some amazing ups and such crazy games that I've seen in the Spectrum. I would be re-missed though not to mention the biggest deflating game for me:
UCI vs USU 2002....Jerry Green's "The Dagger" shot right after Ronnie Ross hit an amazing 3 pointer with 4 seconds left. It snapped our 31 game home winning streak (3rd longest in the nation). It was such a terrible day. But hands down that was an amazing shot. We got them back at their place later on in the season though which was sweet payback.

That’s awesome. I was a student during those years. We weren’t very good at that time but the Spectrum magic was still strong.
The water bomb game was during my time too...
Great memories. Great times. Cemented my life-long love of Utah State University.

That is my single worst memory. So much euphoria followed by 4.8 seconds of breathlessness followed by utter silence.
What a guy punch. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen the video. Thanks

The Pacific loss was worse than Irvine for me because they ranked and we had them buried but both were gut punches for sure.

Re: Favorite Spectrum Moments/Traditions
One of my all time favorite memories in the spectrum was winning a 3 legged race while being first to make a layup during a timeout to win an all expense trip to the big west tournament. That was when i truly became a huge Aggie fan and learned what it meant to support the aggies. I rarely miss a conference tournament or bowl game now and have been a season ticket holder for 20+ years.

Re: Favorite Spectrum Moments/Traditions
This was one of my first experiences in the spectrum. I have never heard that place go so quiet so quick. Even more than the pacific comeback from ten down a few years later. This shot created a vacuum in the spectrum. Also, I can’t believe how bad the picture was before HD. Good luck trying to figure out who was even on the court in that clip and how did I ever even enjoy watching games on tv back then.jAggie wrote: ↑December 12th, 2019, 8:55 pmThere have been mostly some amazing ups and such crazy games that I've seen in the Spectrum.

Re: Favorite Spectrum Moments/Traditions
As a freshman at USU in 1991-92, I experienced the Spectrum for the first time and grew to love attending the games. The funnest game that season was the night that rival UNLV came to town. It was two years after the water bomb and only a year after UNLV's Final Four buzzer beater loss to Duke. The Spectrum was electric that night and it got so loud that I thought the roof of the spectrum was going to blow. Tark brought to Logan two future NBA first rounders in JR Rider and Elmore Spencer, and led the Rebels to a narrow 85-80 victory over a scrappy Utah State team lead by Kendall Youngblood, Carlito DeSilva, Malloy Nesmith, Jay Goodman, and Nate Wickizer. The game was not televised due to UNLV serving sanctions for prior infractions, and the Rebs didn't get to play in the postseason despite finishing undefeated in the Big West (18-0) , having a 26-2 overall record, and finishing the season ranked #7 in the polls. Though we lost that night, I was forever hooked on USU basketball and the legend that has become The Spectrum. Throwing toilet paper, raucous crowds, and the deafening noise levels were my favorite times.

Re: Favorite Spectrum Moments/Traditions
The Jerry Green shot was a gut punch. Not sure where Tony was going on that and not sure why Stew didn't put a guy on the inbounder.
The loudest I have heard the stadium was 2000 vs. bsu to wrap up the undefeated conference season. Down in the second half and B. Rock hit a 3 to give us the lead. Thought the roof was gonna come off.
Stew telling the fans not to throw (I can't express myself without swearing) on the floor.

Re: Favorite Spectrum Moments/Traditions
My daughter doing gymnastics at half time. Her routine did not go like she wanted, so insisted on doing it again despite her leaders trying to stop her. She was about 6 and demonstrated her dedication to do her best that she still does almost 30 years later.
Attended waterbomb game, ot loss to UNLV. Loved cheering against the rebs. They had some studs, but we never backed down, despite continued losing to them. Still have my tark towel.
