re: Most exciting play in TS?

I was a freshman in Tiger Band for that game. At the time, Tiger Stadium capacity was officially only 68,000. There were 70,000+ in the stands that night--in the student section, people were sitting in the aisles.

For pregame, I was on the field, and the sound was unbearably loud--it hurt my ears. As the team came out, the stadium was rocking--the ground was shaking. As we played, I wanted to gauge how loud the sound was, so I pulled my trumpet away from my mouth and screamed as loudly as I could scream---I couldn't hear myself.

I still get chills when I think about that game!

After the game was over, everyone was in a festive mood, so we stayed in the stands and played music for the crowd for 30 minutes--The stadium was filled except for a small area in the Southeast end zone, where the Ole Miss fans had been seated!

Good times!!
