re: First trip to Bryant-Denny Saturday.. what to expect?

Yeah, the 2003 Oklahoma game and the 2005 Florida game were extremely loud. I think the loudest stadium I've ever experienced was Tiger Stadium in 96. Early in that game they scored a TD that was called back on a penalty, but when they scored I thought the building was going to collapse it was so loud. It was pretty quiet the rest of the game though. I've been back there 3 or 4 times and it's never come close to that sound level, but is still very loud. BHG in Florida was pretty loud in 99, but not as loud as I've heard BDS. JHS got pretty loud in 97 when Scissum fumbled, but again nowhere close to the 2 BDS games I mentioned. But I've also been in BDS when I could have a conversation with someone sitting clear across the field.
