re: Loudest Tiger Stadium moments that weren't game deciding?

My personal experiences, though I have not been to many of the famous games mentioned above.
1987 Ohio State: QB Tom Tupa couldn't hear enough to get the first snap of the game. He turned to the refs for help, and the stadium got louder.
2007 Arkansas: During the timeout prior to the Piggie's 4th down play in overtime, Tiger Band was playing Neck, and when the play started it was some seriously loud. Unfortunately, they converted anyway and it never got that loud again that day. Was like a funeral when Flynn threw the INT on the 2pt conversion.
Those were both louder than the Earthquake response.

My moment would be four plays before the pass to Eddie Fuller to win the Earthquake Game. On the final drive, when LSU had to have it, Hodson hit Willie Williams with a pass on fourth down to set up the final four downs of the game. I've been going to many, many games at Tiger Stadium for 62 years but have never seen or heard the crowd as at that moment. Williams had to run some to get the 4th down yardage so the noise swelled and wasn't as abrupt as 4 plays later--thus, no earthquake. But, my Lord, how that stadium came down. Those of us there will never forget the intensity of that whole game, not just the last drive. When the 4th ranked team comes to LSU to play on Saturday night it is something very special.

I couldn’t hear myself think. It’s by far the loudest that stadium has ever been since I’ve been going to games. Since 1999.

2017 vs Bama, when Adams picked off Hurts on the opening drive. Place was electric.

One of the loudest moments I remember was bama in 2012 (ish). Crowd was roaring. Couldn't hear people next to you kind of loud. Bama threw a swing pass to a wide open RB and the place went DEAD. It was crazy to go from that much noise to nothing in less than 2 seconds.
Yep, frick that game forever.

Yes I was going to say the blocked FG at end of the 4th to go to OT against bama in 08 was wild. Saw more hats, shoes, drinks flying near the student section than I ever have…unfortunately they ended up winning 27-21

When we all thought Tua was hurt and then when Bama got stopped on that 3rd down Tua went out on. It was pretty loud then. After that, not so much.

I’ve got one that’s off the radar. UGA 1998.
Early season SEC matchup, LSU was # 6 in the nation, UGA was top 15. It felt like that was going to be the year that LSU took the next step (we still knew very little about Lou Tepper at that point) and move from 7-9 wins a year to an SEC contender.
LSU was driving to end the 3rd quarter, down 21-28. Felt like we were about to tie it up, when the band played pregame in between quarters, it was extremely loud.
Well, we lost 27-28, which only previewed the 2 year Lou Tepper wrecking ball.
ETA. That UGA team was pretty solid. Quincy Carter at QB, Champ Bailey on both sides of the ball.

But I'm confident the level of hate for THAT game was higher for any LSU v Alabama game before or since.
It'd be tough to almost impossible argue that since it was Saban's first time back since he went to Bama
But man having Bama back in Tiger Stadium 8 months after getting an undeserved rematch in the national championship to ruin the 2011 season felt different that day

I can’t believe the Tyrann Mathieu punt return vs Arkansas in 2011 hasn’t been mentioned yet. Also JaCoby Stevens’ sack on a 3rd down against UGA in 2018 was loud as shite.

There were a couple during some of 2011 lopsided games. The Wing fake punt and the pick 6 against auburn that capped off 3 touchdowns in a minute or so.

Like asking what is the top 'part of song' of all time
P.S. The crescendo of Led Zeppelin's Kashmir, thank you for asking

Not game deciding. That eliminates the Earthquake Game, Demetrius Bird against Auburn among others. My answer is the blocked field goal against Alabama in 2008 that sent the game in to overtime. The crowd went ballistic. Unfortunately we lost in OT.
