Chucky Mullins injury

Laquon Treadwell's injury vs. Auburn in 2014 - completely derailed our season.

After the near paralyzation of RWIII...

It was suffered due to this facemask:





Grabbing and twisting/pulling someone down by their facemask should be an automatic ejection. It's just as dangerous if not more than head to head.

It was pretty dang quiet the whole ballgame when Saban and LSU came to town and gave us the worst beating I think Bama has ever had there.

Wasn't even much booing.

I was there for prothro’s injury, but I actually think it was more quiet during the 2009 TSIO just before mount cody blocked the second would-be game-winning FG attempt that day. Silence then eruption.

I was there when LSU did the fake FG in 2010. We all just knew it was an incomplete pass (game over) and then it hushed during the replay because it looked legal after all.

Don’t remember Alabama being quiet much. But the most extreme change from can’t-hear-yourself-think roar to could-hear-a-pin-drop I experienced was in Tiger Stadium when Yeldon scored on the screen pass.


Alabama is a very quiet stadium in general. I have been there for multiple night/big rivalry games. Lower bowl is flat and the fans are not energetic. The best football program that has probably ever existed, but the fans sit on their hands most of the time. They know the chorus to SHA and yell roll tide on first down. Outside of that I was shocked by the lack of atmosphere there.

Maybe the Southern University game when Devon Gales went down? I'm sure there are other moments that I'm not thinking of right now, but that was pretty damn quiet once people realized what was going on.

Only time I’ve been to a game at Auburn. 10/10 in my book.

And Marvin Constant down at the goal line vs LSU. That guy would have been a hell of a football player. Already was, at that young age.

The quietest I've ever heard Kyle Field was in 1994 and was actually during halftime rather than the game.

The A&M band was celebrating it's 100th year and over several hundred former band members were performing at halftime when Jack Jernigan, class of 1956, had a heart attack and collapsed on the field mid formation. It took a couple seconds to realize what had happened and once everyone did it was dead silent as the paramedics went to work. The happy ending is that he was able to survive and lived many more years before he eventually passed away at the age of 80 in 2015.

quote:

Twenty years ago, in the middle of a centennial celebration for the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band, Jack Wilbur Jernigan, class of '56, dropped dead from a heart attack. Luckily, he was in the middle of 800 former band members who were reaching their block formation on Kyle Field.

"I never heard Kyle Field so loud before," Lt. Col. Jay Brewer, director of the Aggie Band, said on Tuesday, recalling the halftime of the game on Sept. 24, 1994.

"And I never heard it so quiet before. Jack died several times on that field."

Jernigan's revival at Kyle Field made headlines and touched every Aggie who heard his story.

"I had so much Aggie spirit, I just popped," Jernigan told The Eagle a couple of months after his recovery from the halftime scare.

1999 vs Vandy. Travis Henry landed on his head while diving for a TD. Thought he broke his neck, and they brought out ambulance and everything. Scary stuff, but he was fine later.

You could've heard a pin drop in Neyland and I remember it well.



This is exactly what I was about to write. I have never been so shocked and scared at a football game. I still don't know how he didn't come away with a broken neck or worse.

That moment in time seemed to go on forever. We were all afraid to even breathe.

I think it used to be like that but isn't at all anymore.

However, to each his own.

I was at vandy back around 03 when Brandon Jacobs almost killed a guy on kick off coverage. You could hear a pin drop after that hit.

The butt fumble against A&M in 14, it derailed our season and a chance at the CFP.
