re: For those in Tiger Stadium for the ‘97 Florida game (airing now on SECN)

I was there

We had a heckuva pass rush in that game!

Hill was a beast. Played against him in the 5A playoffs his senior year at Brother Martin. He had an interception and Kickoff return for TD. Not to mention he hit like a pro every time.

I was freshman and in the student section for it and almost broke my neck when someone pushed me in the back jumping the fence to get on the field. But my favorite part of the game was the Monday after. I had Jarvis Green and his brother Jason in my English class. I asked them, Man what did Dinardo say to you guys at halftime. Their response - Nothing really just keep doing what you are doing. I remember thinking he must not be a very good coach but I'm glad we won.

I was at the 97 and 07 Florida game (well,and 87 for that mattter ) Been going to LSU games since 1980. 1997 Florida was the loudest I've ever been to.

i watched it last night. i didn't realize that we were #14. nevertheless.......i remember being at the camp and listening to this one via hawthorn.

after that game, i can't remember a time where i listen to a game and we lost.

Here's how loud that 97 game was ...

I was in the band and marched out for pregame. When we hit those "four notes" that was the last time I could hear my own horn. Now, usually, even in a loud environment, you kind of pseudo-hear your horn because it reverberates some of the bones in your ear and your skull ... so even with loud external noise you can "feel" your own horn sound in your head. Not that night. I couldn't hear myself at all. Then, when we marched down to form the tunnel for the cheerleaders and players to run through, I started feeling a weird sensation in my chest. Nope, not a heart attack ... it was actually the sound waves from the crowd noise moving through the air sacs in my lungs. It was the most surreal experience I ever had at an LSU game. I still have some turf and some goal post foam from that night, but the memory of literally FEELING the crowd noise in my lungs is the thing that has stuck with me all of these years from that night. Nothing else has come close. I've been fortunate enough to attend several big games in the years since my time at LSU, and I've still never seen, or felt, anything like that. 97 Florida is hands down the loudest and most unbelievable football environment I've ever seen.

Was my 4th year at LSU, was there for the entire game, and got on the field. What a game and wow it was deafening all night in TS.

Was sitting behind the Florida band. They kept playing well after the teams broke huddle. Gators have always been tacky.

Was a great win because we beat them at every phase of the game.
