re: Best atmosphere you've ever experienced win or loss

Before I was a Rebel I was a Gator.... I was able to attend the sweep of tOSU in the NC and Final Four. Honestly, it was fun, but atmosphere wise... So so. However, I was stuck in a box for the NC game.

2006 LSU @ AU was the best atmosphere I have seen from start to finish in a game. The blocked punt against UF that year was a louder moment, but nothing compares to the LSU game that year for a full game.

And for an actual football game.


1999 SEC Championship

2002 Alabama-Oklahoma

2005 Alabama-Florida

09 WVU game, that was incredible.

The '07 Uf game was awesome from start to finish as was the '08 Bama game, but the most unheralded and awesome moment I have ever been a part of was '06 Kentucky. We were beating their arse and at some point in the game there was a timeout. I decided to take a bathroom break and when I walked back into the stadium for no reason cheers started to erupt. The crowd fed off of each other and I stood in the tunnel in awe of how incredibly loud it was for no reason. It was the loudest I have ever heard tiger stadium.

Maybe its because most other times I was involved in the screaming and couldnt actually take it in, but I will never forget that moment.

My caveat is that I haven't been to many football games live, and many of the games I've been to were kind of meh, because they were Pac-Ten games.

1999 Flagship vs. Tennessee
2010 Flagship vs. Bama
2004 Flagship vs. Texas
2011 Flagship vs. Ohio State


I haven't been to many other SEC games other than Arkansas games. I'd love to go to the IB or a night game at LSU.

While Pac-Ten games usually suck, there were two games I've been to that would compare to an average SEC game [though SEC games are still more intense]. Pac-Ten atmospheres are usually more "festive" than intense.

2004 USC-Cal
2010 USC-Oregon [not as good as the first, but decent for a Pac-Ten crowd]

'97 Ironbowl(The Fumble) - My 1st Ironbowl
'06 UF - My freshman year
'09 West Virginia - most fun I've ever had in the rain.
'11 BCSNCG

while i loathe auburn, you probably have the best avatar and coolest Aub sig ive seen

At JHS:

06 LSU
06 Florida

2001 Alabama - Eli leads the rebels back for the go-ahead td inside the last minute.


2003 LSU was a pretty epic setting. 62k in the stadum and another 70k in the Grove. Gorgeous day, great time tailgaiting, just came up a lil short.

2006 - @ LSU. We had a lead in the 4th quarter and I watched JR and Bowe beat us. John Jerry blocked the ep to send it to overtime, but then Shaeffer fumbled on our first possession. heartbreaker but great great atmosphere at TS that evening.


2008 - vs TT in Cotton Bowl. Unbelievable atmosphere. The last CB at the old stadium at the fairgrounds. 88, 000 split right down the middle in red/black and red/blue. Great game full of huge plays. The OM side of the stadium ran out of beer. Nuff said.
