There's a zero percent chance Auburn or Florida 07 didn't register.

Mauck to Green - '03

Flynn to Byrd - '07



Both of these probably would have registered. What else?


When we blocked the FG vs Bama in 2008 to force overtime was pretty wild.

I watched as well, thought I heard them say two things:

1) the seismographs are no longer operational, was some federally funded program in the ‘80’s.

2) the structure of the stadium back then was conducive for “vertical sound waves” or something like that and the since expansion has messed with that conducive setup up...whatever that means?

My own theory to add...no one in 1988 had their heads buried in their cell phones...all attention on the game.

Doing what? Waiting for their phone to not receive any messages? Not sure if you’ve been to tiger stadium since the invention of cell phones but the service in their is horrible.

Been a season ticket holder since 2002...Verizon works perfectly fine at my seats in the south end zone.

I’d be willing to be that these games had something register: UGA 2003, UF 2007, Auburn 2007, Bama 2012, OM 2014


Ole Miss 2014 was insanely loud. That was the loudest I’ve heard that stadium

I saw the SEC Rewind episode too and wish I remember exactly what he said. He said it did have something to do with the configuration combined with the jumping up and down by the fans. The configuration part confused me because as far as I know the lower bowl of Tiger Stadium has stayed the same in the years since. It was an interesting tidbit and if they air that episode again I will record it.

The seismograph was on loan to LSU and is no longer there.


This would definitely make it difficult to register anything.

Everyone was stomping on the bleachers. No one does that anymore.

Absolutely. People forget how big that game was. When Bo threw that dumb arse interception to seal the game, Tiger Stadium was everything you've heard about.
