Autzen is getting more and more fans that really aren't fans. I will be interested in hearing the stadium this Saturday. Michigan in 2003 and USC in 2007 were really loud. I am hoping it might reach that level.

It would be nice if you can (hopefully not against us although we're used to the noise it's still a young team). I just wish we were back to the noise level of the 90s. Hell, the night BOTH goalposts came down in 98 after beating Florida in OT the cameras were shaking (well before the very end when victory was assured). ESPN couldn't remove their cameras quickly enough -- very expensive ones and were pissed. It was also what one announcer called the "largest U-turn ever to happen Knoxville" (or something to that effect) due to some fans thinking it was over before we forced OT (some had started to trickle out). Even after, while the crowd was celebrating ESPN cams not taken out were shaking.

I was in Neyland for the Oregon game a few years ago.
There was a couple of times. pre lightening delay, were we got pretty loud, but it's still a B compared to the mid/late 90s.
I'll be at the game on Saturday, I'll let you know what they can bring.

I'm excited about the fan base. They had great fans that traveled to Knoxville last time. Hopefully their home fans are equally as nice.
