Loudest moment you remember in DWS
- Thread starter ForDale3
- Start date
Jonathan Banks 100 yard INT return off Tebow right before the half in 2009. Was like an explosion.
The intended recipient of that pass - Aaron Hernandez.
The pick six to end the half against Bama in Croom’s second to last season. Antony Johnston for 103 yards. The stadium was smaller then but good grief it was bananas when that happened.
Yep. There were years of frustration building up that collective exuberance. Gonna be hard to top.
This is the correct answer. I have been at every game that gets mentioned every time this comes up and if you didn’t experience that I can’t explain it to you. We had been bad for so long and it was like 6 years worth of frustration exploded at once.
2014 against auburn was the only time my ears actually hurt. I don’t remember the exact moment in the game.
Also wanted to add that even though it was a perfectly clean sack, that probably gets a roughing the passer now a days. Cryin’ shame.
I was at the ‘98 Arkansas game and it does not belong on this list. It was raining and the opening of deer season and it wasn’t even a sell out crowd. It was exciting, so many games were back then, but it wasn’t even close to the levels of some of the games mentioned here.
‘99 Egg Bowl though. That was absolutely crazy. I don’t think anyone who wasn’t there will ever appreciate how insane that season was. We won SO MANY close games. People will say 2014 was better because of #1 but man, I don’t know. ‘99 felt like a 3 month out of body experience.
Your memory and mine don't jive at all, because despite the cold and the usual "gotta bag me a big ole buck" BS every year, that game most certainly was loud. I couldn't talk normally until about Wednesday the next week. I had very few games that I left without a voice like that one.
The answer is definitely 2014 auburn or 2009 Florida but in 2018 when we forced a fumble at the goal line against Auburn DWS was a madhouse.
I was there for Johnson’s pick 6 against Bama, Banks pick 6 against Florida, and the 14 Auburn game. Anthony Johnson’s pick 6 is by far the loudest one. The stadium was shaking from everyone jumping up and down.

Anthony Johnson for loudest single moment.
Auburn 2014 for loudest overall experience.
Auburn 2014 for loudest overall experience.
I was in the student section for that. Screamed so much that I got dizzy. You could feel how loud the crowd was.
Side note from that game. A student pegged Tebow with a football during warm ups. Got it from their kickers. He was standing on the 20 or 30 yard line. It was an awesome throw. Tebow was pissed. Yelled at us and started humming balls at the fence in front of the student section.
Yep. Its this and I am not sure there is anything close. My
I know this is a football thread but I don't think many of our younger fans and certainly not our students, really understand what the Hump use to be like in the middle and late 90's and that's very sad. Every men's game was rocking back in those years and it seemed like the entire coliseum hung on every shot. Of course 96 was completely bunkers. I truly miss those days as the atmosphere today is only a shadow of what it once was.
Once again, sorry for straying off topic but the loudest and worst game threads sent me down a rabbit hole.

I would have to put these up as well but it has been a long time since I was there. If we move to East Texas and I'm through with the hospital stays I hope to break that streak next year.
I agree. I was at most of these and nothing matches that pick 6. It was crazy. Everyone was screaming as loud as the possibly could and then some how screamed even louder. I still get chills thinking about that game.
Don't know how many decibels were recorded as far as loudness, but I've never been as excited at a game since then.
This all day. When Johnson caught it, you knew he was gone. Banks’ INT wasn’t an obvious pick 6 at the time of catch, so it was like a crescendo building up. Auburn was loud all game but no single moment like Johnson’s INT vs Bama.
I'm glad you posted this because I can remember a rocking Hump several times;
1992-3 when we upset #1 Arkansas, 1995 when we beat Ole Miss by 40+, and 2004 against Kentucky. Damn, that place rocked harder than a live Deep Purple concert
Anthony Johnson pick six vs Bama. The end zone film shot was burry, if I remember right.
2014 Auburn is the easy answer but i was at all the others mentioned. I had forgotten how awesome some of those were. Lots of fuzzy memories on this thread.
2004 Kentucky was WILD! If I remember correctly that was the one where we came back from down huge at halftime.
2007 interception return against Bama is Number 1. Nothing has touched it before or since in my experience.
1999 Egg Bowl is number 2.
The Banks return was loud but the crowd had no illusions of us winning that game - so it felt tempered. As have most games since in my view (but I may just be going deaf).
but the 07 interception on Bama and the the 99 Egg Bowl just ROCKED DWS.
I also remember Dana Moore kicking a game winning field goal in a really tight game against LSU. 82, I believe, and that was damn loud too.

I was in the endzone bleachers right behind him when he caught that. It just seemed like he shrank so fast has he ran away from me.
I was there. Still have a foot and a half of the left upright of that south endzone goalpost too.
