You are purposely saying “crazier”, “insane”. I said what stadiums (plural!) are louder than TS. You gave me one, when you were 11 years old. Just stop

Tech was always crazier than A&M during that era. I'm unsure how it's been recently. I don't know a single person that went to Tech.

You said what games were louder...I gave you a specific one. Yes, Tech was probably not louder since it's way smaller. Sorry I left my fricking decibel meter at home. It was absolutely a more hostile environment that night. I don't know what you're not grasping about that

I didn't say TS isn't the loudest stadium in the country. I have only been to two games and neither was the loudest game I have ever been to. Just stop

I'm ok with playing in front of larger crowds. I think that was one of the many reasons Texas and OU looked to the SEC. Other teams couldn't fill their stadiums unless Texas or OU were there.

Sure bud. Your ears were probably bleeding if you were in the 3rd row.

Let me help you. It wasn’t.

Maybe because you were emotionally invested in the game, but I highly highly doubt it.

Texas may have the largest stadium in the B12 but they are not loud at all. I have been to several SEC stadiums that are much louder

Which stadium are you saying is louder than DKR?

I can personally say that Death Valley and Bryant Denny are both way louder than DKR, heck MSU is louder, but that is because of the damn bells

I'm not saying any are louder. It was poorly worded I guess but I was saying that LSU/Alabama game wasn't the loudest game I have ever been to.

After looking it up, I think the 1999 A&M game was the bonfire game, maybe some of the Aggies on here were there.

This was the craziest game I have ever been to. It was the biggest game in Tech history and those people are savages. I was one of like 5 Texas fans in the entire student section...they might've murdered me if we won.

In the same year? We aren’t talking about one game a year, give me a fricking break!

Home field advantage isn’t a huge deal when it’s the visiting teams one huge game.

Home field advantage absolutely is a huge deal when you have 6-9 hard road games a year. It starts to wear on you.

Death Valley is a lot louder than DKR. DKR is a beautiful stadium, but it is not an intimidating or loud stadium at all

LSU was the biggest home game of the year, the crowd should have been riled up.

It'll be even MORE casual once we see it every week. 100k drunk trash is the same as any other.

OU has to be one of the quieter venues I’ve been to

Well no wonder you were saying that game was hostile. You were in the damn student section with Texas gear on.

You don’t think if you wore Bama shite in the LSU student section that your experience might have been different?

Haha you're right. It also could've also been the people I was sitting by at the LSU game. Bunch of older people

Was never trying to shite on LSU & TS. By far my two best gameday experiences...can't wait to go back.
