2016 UT when Eason dropped that dime to Ridley with 10 seconds to go was deafening. I always heard that Alec Ogletree returning that blocked kick vs Bama was one of the loudest moments even though it was a neutral site.

Early 90's vs Texas , in Starkville.
Late in the game and no cowbell restrictions like the sandy-vagina SEC demands.
Even as a youngster I could feel my heartbeat being affected by the shear volume of noise that was pounding through Davis-Wade. Heart murmurs can create a high kind of like a mild opiate. I'll never forget that feeling and it was strictly caused by noise

Until 2013, the loudest moment for me was one that most people don't remember. It was at the end of the 1989 AU/Florida game--Emmitt's last chance to beat the Tigers. Jordan Hare Stadium exploded when Reggie Slack hit Shane Wasden in the endzone with 40 seconds left. And then the students chanted "Emmitt, Emmitt" for the next 10 minutes while Emmitt cried on the field.
And then the 2013 AU/Georgia game happened. I was outside the stadium for that one. We were on a time delay on our TV, so first we heard the crowd in the stadium erupt, and then 5 seconds later the 30,000 or so fans outside the stadium watching on TV erupted.
Interesting thing was, both of those games were kind of boring until the final moments.

LSU in 2014 on the TD to take the lead 10-7

Maybe the first half of 13 uga/au was because we were getting shellacked but that second half was anythign but boring. Aaron murray carried the entire team on his shoulders that half. One of the best individual perforances I've ever witnessed, shame that it'll be forgotten because of the ending.

ETA2: it was Alabama within their own 10 yard line. Lamar Louis destroyed the TE and Beckwith or Rasco grabbed TJ Yeldon's leg and Yeldon dropped the ball. Should've been the game right there

The second blocked punt, 1972.

Don't know if someone mentions it later in this thread, but when Reggie Slack completed a long pass to Alexander Wright on the first series, JHS erupted like I've never heard before (did not attend either game in 2013).

2014 Alabama when the replay officials ruled that Senquez Golson had intercepted the ball in the end zone.
What's funny is that I wasn't even at the game. I was a few miles from the stadium standing outside of my car (had a prior obligation that prevented me from going) and was listening to the broadcast. I remember standing there, silent as can be, and then out of nowhere I hear this roar of people far off in the distance. It was the crowd from the stadium. A few seconds later the call came over the radio that we had just sealed the win.
I can still hear the crowd in my head.

yeah. Imagine if one of the other SEC teams with 100K+ in the stadium decided to do something like this.
But they don't.

Yeah as great of a game as we had in 2003, I noticed a very big difference in the atmosphere and confidence of the fans in 2007. It felt like a changing of the guard was taking place and it was the first time in my life atp that I felt like Bama was about to become a monster again.
Yea, and we were terrible in 2003. And 2004 and 2006 (and 2005, for that matter) were close but that was just because that was how Shula played. Almost every game would be close, and outside of 2005 we lost ALL OF THEM.
2007 vs Tennessee was totally unexpected. We'd lost to FSU a few weeks prior, just squeaked out wins over Houston and Ole Miss and had textbookgate suspend starters that morning. Tennessee was on fire. I was expecting a whuppin. Never in my wildest dreams would I have guessed it would go the way it did.

It really is just hard to explain how europhoric 2008 and 2009 were, especially to those of us that were in our early/mid 20s.
We had grown up in the 90's, barely remembered 1992 but had parents who had all gone to Alabama during the mid-late 1970s. Their college careers Alabama lost roughly 3 games and it was all we heard about. On the flip side, our entire teenage/high school lives were spent with Mike DuBose, Coach Fran and Mike Price, and college was spent mostly with Mike Shula. Our entire experience with Alabama football was probation and losing, while listening to old people talk about the good ole days and this feeling that it HAD to get back to being like that. It was pretty fvckin awful. We also refused to believe we were actually good again ever, because every time we did we went on probation or went 3-9 the next season.
So, when 2008 started and it became clear after the 1st half in Athens that we were legitimately back, most of us just literally didn't know what to do with ourselves. Every chance to go into the stadium and murder an SEC opponent was orgasmic (yes I said that), because just recently in our college careers we were losing to Ole Miss, State, Arkansas and obviously Auburn, LSU and Tennessee. My sophomore year we trailed a 0-12 Duke team at halftime. My freshman to senior year we went 2-10 vs Auburn (0-4), LSU (0-4) and Tennessee(2-2). My grad school year year I went to Knoxville and Baton Rouge for wins and we beat Auburn by 36.
So, 2008 and 2009...........nothing will ever replicate that for me. Ever. It isn't possible.

Bama at LSU 2008, Saban's Return. Rickey Jean Francois blocked the FG to force OT, loudest moment that I've ever personally witnessed.

I was on the top row of the upper deck farthest from the Mississippi River at about midfield. When he blocked that kick I thought the stadium was going to collapse.

travis daniels was in bounds recovering an auburn fumble to seal the win for LSU in 2004.

Loudest Game:
2013 LSU @ Alabama
2011 LSU @ Bama was incredibly loud for the entire game. I don't think a BDS crowd can be any louder over a sustained period than that night. My ears were ringing for an hour or 2 after the game.
But I'm sure the eruption when Cody blocked the kick in 09 was a louder singular moment. Even on the broadcast the crowd noise is incredible.
