Expounding on the "Loudest Moments in DV" thread, what was the loudest

"Pregame" ?? That is the loudest pre-game pageantry, Mike's antics, student section chanting, and above all, the loudest "Hold That Tiger - Pre Game Salute" by TGBFTL ??
IMO it is not even close: My Soph. year - Nov. 1982 LSU-Florida State. The whole campus was at a fever pitch that day because the winner of the game was getting an Orange Bowl bid - LSU's first major bowl since the '74 Orange vs Penn State.
Before TGBFTL lined up in the SEZ, an LSU student dressed up (ostensibly on purpose) as a Seminole, and the costumed Mike attacked him, broke his spear in half and pretended to stab him with it.
The Student Section went ballistic.
"Pregame Hold That Tiger" was drowned out. At the time I thought 'this must have been what it was like against USC three years ago.'

That was an exciting crowd from beginning to end. We had season tickets in the west side upper deck and when the fog rolled in the second half we couldn't see the action on the field.
Another electrified crowd was the 1971 Notre Dame game - the crowd buzzed from pregame to the final horn.

Best atmosphere's:
1) 2007 Florida (4th down power!)
2) 1982 Florida State (oranges a plenty!)
3) 1979 USC (smaller stadium at that time)
4) 2003 UGA - THE PROGRAM ARRIVED THAT DAY on Skyler Green reception.

One of the greatest nights in Tiger Stadium history that doesn't get mentioned here enough. Pre-dates a lot of posters. There was great history before our recent run in the 2000s. I'm not asking for the good ole days back, but there has always been a feeling of the underdog in us (maybe why we hate Bama so bad). It's great being on top, but there was something about being the dog and winning in TS(like Fla in 97). Winning because we were in Death Valley, winning because the crowd made things impossible for the opponent, beating better teams was the most fun. Now we are as talented as anybody. Let's just beat Bama.
