That was the most fun I've ever had at a football game. Then the fun continued when we got home and did some creative rearranging of my AU neighbor's front yard, complete with goal posts with a football taped to it. What can I say, It's never to late for a happy childhood.

'79 USC...I was there and have not experienced anything like it since...there are moments that rival in but as far as consistency throughout the game from beginning to end nothing has come close...

Any body in here remember Toefield running 70 yards for a touchdown against Tennessee in the year 2000. After having lost to UAB the week before and losing to everyone the decade before the whole stadium was as excited as an OTer entering an OT 10 from behind.

that game was Fall of 1987, and was at least the loudest day game I've ever been to. Refs called timeout several times because OSU QB couldn't hear



that is a fact. Gets overlooked cause of the tie maybe but at that point it was the loudest DAY game I'd ever been to

That was awesome and awesomely loud - there's a good clip from that game with the run on youtube. The crowd goes nuts.

Also, it got really loud when those two streakers ran on the field wearing hard hats with pom poms against Bama in 2000 and mooned the Bama section during that long pause in the game when the refs coudln't figure out whose ball it was. Saban actually referred to them as the turning point in the game because the crowd woke up along with his team and everyone went nuts! And LSU beat Bama at home for the first time since like 1969. That was absolutely hilarious because nobody (including security) even seemed to realize what was happening until it was too late.

I don't know that I can empirically prove this, but sometimes I have a strong suspicion that TS was louder in the 1980's and 1990's than it has been over the last decade. A smaller stadium somehow produced more pandemonium. It's as if the noise level in TS is inversely proportionate to the sustained quality of the program. In that link, there is something frenzied and desperate, an unhinged defiance, in the crowd noise, in its seething movement. We sound...rabid. Insane. The complacence of perennial success or economic factors or an aging fanbase or some other mysterious force has muted TS. It's as if too many wins have sated our bloodlust, or as if some bourgeoisie, aristocratic reserve has supplanted the outlandish abandon, or perhaps the hellraisers just grew old and got tired. Then again, maybe I'm just being nostalgic.

I hope the true TS is on display for USC and Alabama this season. God, I love that place.

me too


I just watched the BBMG youtube video and got goose bumps. Damn what a night that was. Really one of my fav games as the 6 years before were so so painful.


something else that I think gets missed in this game is that the Tigers wore white jerseys at home for the first time in atleast 10 years

so it was not only the Bring Back the Magic Game but also the Return of the White Jersey Game


LSU's first two games that year were on the road if old memory serves

The one where your eardrums are rattling and if the person next to you yelled at the top of his lungs, you still wouldn't hear. When the game's over and you're walking back to the car, your hearing is muffled like after being on the floor at a very loud concert.

That's my definition of "the true TS".
