It is true that Coach O'Leary was dissapointed in the block seating being
slow to shop up in force for games, a problem that does not seem to exist so
far this year, but it is not the reason behind organizing the Swarm.

The Swarm was organized in response to a call from students to have a rowdy
section to show off spirit and have a great time at the games. These seats
are situated in the north endzone adjacent to the Edge Building, both to 
give the team that frantic enthusuasm as they come out, but also to complete
the Doghouse effect that was started last year when the band and some of the 
student seating was moved to the endzone.
