loudest game

99 MSU game at BD....hate to say it though but the loudest game i have ever attended was at the barn when they played UT last year......talk about a nightmare,orange everywhere.....and georgia had just layed it to us
 
Oh yea, 2001 Florida @ Auburn.

I had a friend at the Barn that convinced me to come to that game, i told him i'd go b/c i was guranteed Auburn would get hammered...... oh well :(
 
I think it took guts considering where he was

on the field,but it was confidence in his team that let him do it. Coach Gene Stallings would do simular things, only it would be like a 4th down call. Loudest game for me was actually the 1989 Tennessee game in Birmingham. We yell so loud I couldn't hear the radio in the 4th quarter. LSU in Baton Rouge in 92 even though we were out numbered it was loud. Last seasons OU game ranks up there with those although it's harder to tell how loud it is on the field from the upper reaches of Bryant Denny. :biga2:

WishboneSooner: It's never luck if executed properly!

Man, no old timers on board for this one. I remember the 1986 Notre Dame being extremely loud on that series with the sack.

After Bennet's sack Legion was rocking, and on the next two downs the pass ruch was good to throw Beurline off. Then came the punt, do we all recall what happened on that punt? Greg Richardson returned it for a touchdown. Man that place was loud.

I was at OU last year and it was loud too, the Tennessee game last year also.
 
99 msu game hands down.

I remember the student section chanting 'overrated' and then replacing the GO in 'go state' cheer with an F bomb. We won the west. It just felt like a huge load was taken off our shoulders. Cups were flying everywhere when we faked the screen to millons and hit buchanon for the final nail in the coffin. Rammer jammer was played over and over and over again. After game, the team comes back on field...shaun leads the band......and the last words from the public address system went something like.......
"next week....the Crimson Tide takes the road......to you know where.....ROLL TIDE"

Still the most fun I've ever had at a game.

Other loud games I've been to....
2. OU 2003 (loss)
3. ut 99 and 2003 (loss)
4. byu 98 (BD east upper deck opens) (win)
 
It's a tie...2002 vs. UGA and 2003 vs. OU. Unfortunately, both turned out to be losses. Which I guess is fitting...the last time Bama won a big game in Tuscaloosa was 1999 vs. MSU. Maybe we can get a big home victory this year and break into the W column vs. Auburn in T-town.

As far as the fake punt call being gutsy or lucky, it was without a doubt gutsy. It was not a call based on luck. Stoops and his staff paid attention to Bama bringing in the outside men to try to force OU to go to a max protect punt to protect from a strong rush. Bama did it again and got busted. That call and the long TD pass on the next play showed that Stoops' superior coaching was the reason OU won in Bryant-Denny.
 
No Doubt

the OU game last year - without a doubt...it was the loudest and consistent i have ever heard. but, like said earlier...until stoops pulled the fake punt out of his bag of tricks.

but still...i wish that our stadium would always be that loud for an opponent.
 
A few come to mind....

I put some of the louder games in a couple of categories. Eardrum splitting noise you can feel and hard to hear your neighbor noise:

Here are some of mine in no particular order:

2003 Bama/OU - This was an easy pick.

1982 Penn State in Legion Field - I was barely 8 at the time but can distinctly remember sitting in the upper deck at this game. This is the year we beat them 42-21 and blocked 2 punts, 1 of which occurred when the safety blocker accidentally backed up to far and the punter kicked it right into his rear end. The place was shaking it was so loud.

1989 Bama/UT at Legion - Lot of loud moments in this one.

1991 Bama/UT at Legion - This one stands clearly out in my mind as one of the loudest games I ever attended. The noise level was high throughout the game.

1992 Bama/Miami - I wasn't at the game but I've heard it was a party.

1995 Bama at Auburn - I've been to Kneelin once, UGA, LSU, and Florida, but as much as I hate to admit it the Aubs take the atmosphere level to another level when we visit. I never want to compliment the Aubs, but you simply got to give it up to them strictly from a noise standpoint when we visit. The place gets ridiculously loud and the Aubs do a good job of yelling in unison to get the decibel level up there.

1999 Bama/MSU - This game stands out as well. This game was another great example of what BDS can be when people are more interested in making noise than asking the people in front of them to sit down.

2002 Bama/UGA in BDS - The Peprah int. returned for a score has to be one of the loudest single moments in BDS history.

1995 Auburn at LSU - I went to this game with a close Bama friend and 2 close Auburn friends of mine. We stayed with my Bama friend's girl friend at the time who was from Baton Rouge. We got free tickets in the LSU student section. To this day I've never seen fans cheer over so many things in my life. The stadium was literally cheering when they were announcing the halftime stats. The thing the LSU's band does as the team is about to run onto the field may be my favorite introduction in all of college football. (i.e. The "duh, duh, duh, DUH" thing).
