With all these best ever threads...I was thinking that this might actually be the one that can't be disputed. That stadium was shaking from halftime until the end of the game. I will never forget that sound. It is what I imagine being in the middle of a tornado must sound like.
Has anyone been to a louder game than 2000 at LSU?

I remember sitting in that endzone at the beginning of the 4th quarter - LSU was driving and we were up 31-17. They started it...the beginning of Hold That Tiger. Just one of the most awesome moments in college sports. A big game at LSU when LSU is mounting a comeback.
Honestly - one of my favorite losses (if you can have one) as far just an amazing game until the Arkansas game of 2010. The atmosphere at Scott Field that night was unreal.

I fully agree DS...Hold that Tiger gives me chills every time I hear it. The wife got her undergrad from LSU, so I could be biased....masters from State. She wore the purple and gold for 4 years but bleeds maroon and white. We dated when she was at LSU and I sat in the student section many times at Tiger Stadium...nothing quite like it. Of course it was the DiNardo years. I remember air high fiving my uncle from 20 yards away at the start of the 4th qtr of the 2000 game...and then we were'nt
When KP took it to the house is the loudest I can ever remember and my first game was the 1972 Egg Bowl.
What killed me about that game, if I remember correctly(And I could be way off on some of the particulars - it's a little hazy, it's been 11 years) is we got the ball back with about a minute left in regulation, made it to around midfield with about 15 seconds left, then ran a draw with no timeouts. We had a good chance to at least get into position to try to win it... eh maybe I dreamed that..
we ran the ball instead of taking a shot to the endzone on the last play of the game.

Yes, but remember Pork Chop Womack had injured his foot. On the final MSU drive to tie up the game, Pork Chop was limping badly. We got down near the goal line, Sherrill tried to sub in for Pork Chop but he waved the sub back to the bench. Crowd was a steady roar. The fullback who caught the game-tying TD had broken his hand late in the game (IIRC). We were spent, especially on defense. Sherrill should have gone for 2. (I said this to my friend at the game.) Pork Chop was NOT in the game on the final drive and his replacement gave up a critical sack. That may have cost us a shot at a FG. I think that's why Sherrill may have run the clock out. Miller almost pulled it out with an incredible run.
You could not hear the person next to you. The new upper deck had been completed, the game started at 8 pm, the corndogs were in rare form.
This was the game after we had thrashed Florida. Lsu had lost to UAB but had beaten Tennessee earlier.
Lsu and Saban (first yea at lsu) celebrated wildly following the OT.
The next day I came into the office to get some work done and visited a sandwich shop at lunch. The workers were still discussing the game. They told me it was the best game they had attended.
I still think there is no comparison. And whoever said the SECCG obviously wasn't in red stick in 2000.
Sat in the end-zone - Corndog lost control of ball on 4 or 5 yard line - official signals TD - unbelievable. Went to game with very good friend - we could not talk sitting next to one another. I did hear him say "we've got this game", I replied are you crazy - listen to this crowd! Most amazing decible experience I've ever witnesses. I began doing calculations on tensil strength of concrete and rebarb. I had no idea solid concrete could vibrate in that manner - had visions of that expansion bridge in Washington state that began to vibrate and collapsed back in the day - seriously feared the stadium might fall. To this day, I tell this story and the only people that believe me are people who were there!
The thing about that game I won't forget was the toilets(I'm assuming ),from the second level overflowing and water cascading down over the only exit out of the stadium. Then, having a preteen girl getting all up in my face yelling, "we kicked your ***!"
Sickening game.
