re: ~Spin Off Thread~ Huge misconception about a loud moment in TS

'95 at home vs top 10 ranked Auburn was deafening when Troy Twillie picked off a pass on the final play of the game to seal the 12-6 win. That released 6 yrs of frustrating losses w/ games frequently lost in the waning minutes. Finally, LSU had beaten a ranked team at home instead of finding a way to lose once again.

2007 Florida was fricking nuts and I wasn't even in the stadium. We tailgated at the Indian Mounds and those of us that didn't make it into the stadium were watching it on TV at the tailgate. The beauty of that spot was that with the TV delay, we could hear the crowd's reaction to whatever happened before it aired and everyone would know to shut the frick up and watch the TV because something awesome this way comes. That announcement happened during a timeout and that crowd lost its shite and just kept going and going and going through the timeout and we were just sitting there staring at each other wondering what the hell could have possibly happened during a timeout to get that crowd that loud for that long. I wasn't in TS, but it was hands down the loudest I've ever heard the crowd from outside the stadium.

I always wondered what this experience was like for those tailgating just outside the stadium not knowing what was going on. Great post.

ETA: I've been on a goosebump high since this thread began. Does anyone know if there is video of this entire game available somewhere? I would love to rewatch it.

Yeah, was at that 95 AU game was intense entire time. Recall CL darn near threw a pick 6 and think AU db dropped it or would have run back for td! (shade of 04 debacle) But yes that final series was nuts!

The score announcement was crazy, long, loudness. The louder moment (though shorter-lived) was when we pulled ahead of Florida.

Then again, I was in the front row in the end zone screaming so I'm not totally sure I heard it as well as the people on the sidelines or higher up

Yeah, was at that one and very special, we had squeaked by Vandy 7-6 week before and the Diesel was hurt. Also, at the following week a mediocre OM team comes in and brings back down to Earth!
That was GD, "bring the magic back", but every other week!

People talking about the 2012 JC Copeland play in the Bama game forget about Landry's go ahead TD with a few minutes left.

He didn't just push off, he pushed the LSU DB to the ground......no call. Unfrickingbelievable.

If the refs call OPI, it is probably 3-3 at halftime and a different game...

Yeah, that one hurt. I'm getting aggravated typing about it.

People also forget at the beginning of the 4th quarter the whole team ran towards the student section. Being in the student section it was absolute chaos

Where do you sit in the stadium? The north end zone was rocking fool

Much smaller stadium back then, bruh. No way 79,000 fans there were louder than 92,000 in later years.

this is a myth.

i sat in the east upper for bama '12 and couldn't tell how loud it was until colin cowherd gushed about it later in the week. the majority of people up there don't get loud except for TD's and critical 3rd downs.

it's just not how sound works... the decks trap in sound from the lower bowl a little bit, but they don't overhand for the extra echos. 1/2 the sound from a yell in the upper deck travels up and out of the stadium and the other half diffuses before ever reaching the field, and like i said it might make more of a difference if the uppers were loud for the sake of being loud, but they just aren't.
