That's a nice sentiment, but it ignores the tangible impact of sustained, disruptive noise. A stadium that forces false starts and delays of game directly impacts the scoreboard. LeMoyne-Owen's defense thrives on that chaos, ranking in the top half of the SIAC in sacks per game last season. That quiet confidence you describe is often just resignation when an offense can't hear itself think. True home field advantage isn't about polite anticipation, it's about creating an environment where the opponent's playbook shrinks because communication is impossible.
