Still the best atmosphere of any game I attended. In student section, as a senior.

This broadcast shows just how loud every play can be. Even a Florida extra point was loud.

Not sure Tiger Stadium still has this kind of magic, yet hopeful under Kiffen it will be "Just Different" again!

It was awesome but Florida 2007 was just as crazy loud.

Totally agree! Best atmosphere from start to finish. Was in the northeast corner about 30 rows up. Watched as the goal post was carried up the stands in the north endzone. Thought they were going to try and throw it over the top...glad it stopped a little over midway up and started bringing in back down.

Went and had a few beers afterwards at the mexican restaurant near The Chimes...totally drawing a blank on the name.

Whether it was the "best atmosphere" or not I suppose is debatable. But I've been at every home game since 1992, and I can easily say that this one was my favorite. If you lived through the Spurrier domination, and the Curley Hallman years - it's like this night was a release of epic proportions.

Many other games have come close, but this night in Tiger Stadium is still the GOAT to me personally

At both and when the announcer told the USC score my buddy ( Florida fan) sat down, pulled out his Jim beam bottle, poured it all in his cup and kept saying it’s over. He never got excited after that moment. After the game people patted him on the back good game till I finally was able to get him moving to the car. Good times.

I was there. That is the first time I can remember a storming of the field. Certainly the peak of the DiNardo era. Then they blew it against Ole Miss the next week.

We were fighting for respect then. After 6 losing seasons and Dinardo bringing the magic back a bit for several seasons. Our fanbase was hungrier then.

In all my years going to LSU football. I have never seen that many people outside stadium before the game.

Same. I was in 7th grade - it wasn't my first game, but definitely the one that made me a fan for life.

Florida 2019 doesn’t get enough credit. Nobody sat down for a single play in my section and it wasn’t a bunch of young people.

Florida 2007 was one of the greatest football games to ever be played, at any level.

I was there and on the field after.
This was true TEAM football. Man, Faulk was all over the field that night. Big Tommy Banks fullback!
