I said it. I've been to plenty of big UK games, and that was the loudest single moment. Other games, such as Maryland with Francis or Florida '03 and sone others you mentioned, were louder from tip to horn, but as far as the roof coming off, that was it in my experience.
It's funny how little some of you Super UKFB fans actually get UK football.
Yeah, I'm not a UK football fan at all. Just been following and watching this dumpster fire for the last 25 years because it's so fun.
That's the first UK game I ever attended live. Dad picked me up from school, I dropped off my Valentine to my high school girlfriend's house on the way to the game.
I get what Richie is saying...it was a truly great moment...that often gets touted as the greatest moment in Rupp Arena history, or near the top. And in that sense, it's overrated. Definitely a Top 10-15 moment, but not necessarily Top 5. Thus, overrated.
And I was there, and thought it was the ****. And if I was there, it definitely was great from a nostalgic perspective. But yeah, I'm with Richie. Cool moment. Not something you see everyday. It was definitely loud. Rupp has been a lot louder. Like a whole lot louder.
:boxing: Keep up the good fight Richie!

It was a whole lot louder at the games 73 was at that we weren't.
Loudest I've heard it. It was deafening which was in the middle of the dark ages.
The best part about Tayshaun's five 3's was that on the last one you could sense it coming. "He's going to launch it as soon as he touches it............................yep, swoosh."
The amazing thing about the Tay clip is that it was ONE long sequence...no whistles, no stoppages...just a unique thing that you'll never see again. Capped off by a ridiculous shot & call. The climax is like something out of a movie. It's insane, and if you disagree you're a dbag.
I've watched that clip more than any clip in UK history b/c it's so damn entertaining & just PURE fun -- and as a bigger & better fan than all of you, that officially puts it pretty damn high on the Rupp "moments" list no matter what anyone says.

Always thought that the amongst the narrative that UK basketball fans are a bunch of physco savages is the fact that the Rupp crowd recognizes & appreciates good bball when it sees it.
Rupp has given standing ovations to an opponent's player 3 times that I can remember. David Robinson, Ron Slay, & that dude from Texas A&M that lit us up for 40 plus in 2013.
That's pretty amazing, IMO. What other fanbase would even think of doing this?

Recently, the Boston fans gave a standing ovation to Arieta from the Cubs.
It happens a lot in soccer as well.

Little Ricky down 23 at half to South Dakota St. Wowza.
Honoring John Stewart with a hoop on senior night was a very classy and special Rupp moment.
Just a personal favorite from Rupp.
I've had season tickets since '99.
The 5th Prince 3 was the loudest that Rupp has ever been when I was there.
Ironically, Tay also had arguably the 2nd loudest moment, too, when he hit that little baby hook to beat Florida.
The '03 Florida asswhoopin' was the loudest for an extended period of time.
The Davis block to beat UNC was the most fun after the game. Everybody's hands went up... and they stayed there, and they stayed there, and they stayed there.
Lots of cool moments in the last 15+ years for sure.

King Llama's halftime comedy show.
That or when Anth walked in with his scarf for the first time.
I don't know but I think the most red *** Rupp has been was at the end of the South Carolina Senior Day game in 97. The officials were lucky to leave alive.
Probably Senior Night in 09 after we lost to Georgia.
Weird atmosphere. People became indifferent down the stretch of that game. Like, let's see how much more this crazy hobo can touch this up because then maybe it will be enough to make a move.
Dark moment.

Best thing about the John Wall stuff....that was about 5 years of pent up frustration all unleashed at once. Big kid back on the top of the mountain. And it felt effing fantastic. Here we are. Come get us. Eat **** Carolina.
I've never wanted to murder another human being more than when we lost late in the year to a Georgia team that had just fired their coach, and a tournament bid was on the line for us.
If I had seen Gillispie out that night, I couldn't have been trusted to leave him unharmed. And if I had murdered him in cold blood in front of fifty witnesses, there's a decent chance I'd have been acquired by a Fayette County jury.

Hopefully a Maryland fan will punch a UConn fan a few times tonight.
What a disgusting group of people.

Correct answer. Nearly faintsd i was so pissed. Had to sit down and take a few deep ones. Don't know if it was quiet I only heard white noise.
