Underrated "loudest game in TS" pick: 2000 Mississippi State

I believe it was the Arkansas game in 2011 that I couldnt hear myself screaming when we started coming back. There have been a few games where its so loud I cant hear myself.

Alabama 2012 the year after we lost to them in the dome. That was loudest I've heard tiger stadium after jarvis landry went up and caught that jump ball in the south endzone. Loudest I've ever heard tiger stadium personally. The florida game in 2007 was loud as hell too...for the entire game though.

2007 Florida was incredibly loud the whole game.

The crowd noise was cranked up to 11 when they announced #1 USC losing as both LSU and Florida fans went nuts.

Yeah definitely 2007 UF for me. Night game, Mike VI's first stadium appearance, USC loses, first time since '59 we're #1 in the regular season.

The place was absolutely bedlam, especially in that 4th quarter. I've still never experienced anything that comes close to that night.

2008 Alabama when the field goal was blocked

South Carolina 2012

Basically a forgotten game

Ditto. When Honey Badger ran the kick back for a TD, I distinctly remember screaming so loudly that I sort of wobbled and almost blacked out on my feet for a second (was very drunk), yet couldn't hear myself at all in the wall of sound. By no means a sustained level of noise for the whole game (ended up 41-14) but down by 2 TD's and seeing TM7 say "frick it, watch this.." TS went ape shite.

Florida 2007. Loudest I have personally heard it and I have been to a lot of games.

Ole Miss 2014. Crazy loud. You could feel the hate raining down from the stands.

From a "pre-game until the final play" loud, this one remains tough to beat. And even more emphasized by how it would get inexplicably louder during the big plays - the noise never really died down. I couldn't hear my own voice, typically, unless we were on offense, timeout, quarter breaks and even then the buzz was something else. It started out well before the game - outside - that's as lively as I've ever seen the campus before a game. The most people ever lined up to see the Tiger walk and band go in and the only time I've been at a game where I felt my eyeballs vibrate from the noise for more than a second or two (sure, at the end of "Bring Back the Magic" - that game ended on a particularly dramatic play - a couple of seconds it felt like my insides were shaking) - I mean for 15 or 20 second bursts on those 4th downs and the Hester TD.


But then came that moment when the USC score was announced. As I described above, the stadium had been pretty much as loud as you can imagine and for several minutes at a time, and a very loud background buzz the entire game up to that point. But that announcement - the crowd collectively - I describe like this - it was not that it was even collectively possible for us to make that noise - it was like we invoked it from a nether plane of existence. Words fail me in describing, so that's the best I can do. Unearthly.
