Getting. Fired. Up. 2 days.
Oldie but a Goodie

“Usually when the opposing team does well, the crowd quiets down. All I began to hear was a chant ‘L-S-U, L-S-U.’ It got louder and louder and louder. It was the loudest I’ve ever heard a stadium.”
-- Georgia Head Coach Mark Richt (on the 2003 LSU-Georgia game)
quote:
“Louisiana State University has one of the most beautiful campuses we've ever seen, seemingly built in between beautiful old oaks. As the hours roll by, the noise of LSU tailgating builds. I walk around a bunch of tailgates being introduced to all. I'm offered everything from bourbon (I decline) to beer (I decline) to food (I accept). In minutes I'm eating fried oysters, shrimp, alligator and crawfish. All of them are delectable. We stumble on a tailgate in which the scene is really like Alice in football land. … This has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and any self-respecting sports fan HAS to go to a game in Tiger Stadium.”
-- Alex Ferguson, Sky Sports UK (Nov. 9, 2012)
quote:
“For three hours on Saturday Night, I don’t know that there has ever been an atmosphere in sports that I’ve been a part of that was as memorable to me. I have no dog in this fight. I mean look, I’ve been to games where I’ve watched Maryland win a national championship, that was very personal to me. Makes me think of my dad who left us too soon. I have nothing but being a sports fan on the line on Saturday night. And I’ve never seen something that felt like that. Or heard anything that was as sustained as that. … Everything that was part of the experience, I was told it was going to be awesome. It was better than I was told it was. … There is nothing I would put ahead of that that I’ve EVER seen in any sport. When you’re there, you don’t want to miss anything.”
-- Scott Van Pelt, ESPN Radio on the 2012 LSU-Alabama game

“It was so loud I could barely read the signals. My eyes were vibrating.”

Where’s the famous bear Bryant quote?

2003 vs UGA ... the poor backup QB going in due to an injury -- with the South Endzone at his back. Poor baby couldn't get the ball off. It was D J Shockley. I'm a girl and I should NOT remember these things.

The old days when you could smell the bourbon on the field from the stands.
It's not like that anymore
Eta: I remember as a kid getting lightheaded from the smell of alcohol, it was that strong.

I sat through the misery of the 88 Miami game in Tiger Stadium on the 50 yard line while Steve Walsh and Jimmy Johnson continued to pass all night in a driving rainstorm. It's time for revenge!

2005 Peach Bowl was our revenge

Yes. Send me more sacrifices. Send them to ME NOW.

One of my better memories in the student section was when Geno Smith lined up behind his guard instead of the center when backed up to the North Endzone

The examples cited in this thread are exactly why the Miami game should be in Tiger Stadium and not in far off Texas. The extra energy makes a difference.
Thanks, Joe.

This quote always gives me goosebumps because as a true LSU fans can relate to his sentiments. You understand what that feeling hes describing means. It may not be every game, but when it matters - there is nothing like a Saturday night in tiger stadium.
