i'm currently depolyed with the TN Guard to Afghanistan, and was lucky enough to have ESPN play the game on AFNEurope: Sports (and I should get to see more since TN is playing high ranked teams) and several of these active duty guys I watched the game with were very impressed with the crowd at Neyland. Thanks guys for giving me a piece of home!!

I was so proud of our fans. Plenty of noise, especially on 3rd downs. Loudest game I've been to in a while. Just like some of you others, my throat is still raw & my ears are still popping. I had a really great time. Sorry if we didn't live up to some people's standards of the Super Bowl freaking champions, but I for one screamed my guts out.

The commentators kept mentioning the noise level of the crowd, and I'd just like to thank all those reading this post that attended the game and a hooted and a hollered for all of us who were unable to attend. I am going to watch the game again tonight and will continue to marvel at the level of support y'all demonstrated for the team.

Great friggin' job CROWD!!

I got kicked out of the game for standing on my seat. In the student section. Bullcrap. Most of those ushers are great but this one guy was a huge doucher

I agree on some of the older fans, but they have the right to enjoy the game however they choose too. I sat in section U last night, which is made up of a lot of wealthy older folks. I believe this is the high dollar donor section, and some were even reading books and browsing on their phones or tablets. Very disappointing! I appreciate the money those folks contribute to our program, but it's a freaking football game, not a high dollar social club! The view from my seats were outstanding, but not the atmosphere there. I don't expect people to stand the whole game (but I'd gladly welcome it), but on big 3rd or 4th downs I wish EVERYBODY that's physically able to would get up and make some noise for the VOLS. That said, does anyone have any recommendations of sections to sit in that are rowdy and passionate about the game going on? Love to sit in a section (not the student section) that's very engaged in the game.

There was a book club in Section R too. Bless their heart they pay good money for those tickets but I hope they let their grand kids have the seats for Alabama and Florida...

In regards to whoever mentioned what Huard said, it was right before kickoff. He said that regardless of who your favorite team was, Neyland Stadium should be a bucket list experience for any football fan.

The only thing I was disappointed with (from what I could see on TV) was the large number of people leaving the game at the beginning of the 4th quarter. I've always felt that if you are going to buy a ticket and occupy a seat, you should stay till the end regardless of the score.

I was disappointed with this as well. With about 5 minutes left I looked around and half the stadium was empty.

My gf and I sat on the first row of section EE. We absolutely loved the view from our seats. After the second play of the game we were still standing and yelling until an older man behind us rudely asked my gf if we were going to stand up the whole game. She didn't say anything but turned to me to fill me in on what he said. Before I turned around he nudged me in my ribs. Big Orange can do better than that.

One of the announcers said that "Neyland stadium was one of the great cathedrals of college football and everyone should come here".

I sat in y7 right above the players family and there were quite a few people around us who would do nothingÂ…Â…ever. They looked in pain being there! Stand up and freaking yell!!! The other side of the stadium is much louder to me. We sat in K for Georgia and scar last year and it got really loud over there.

My throat is still raging sore and can barely talk. Love it! Place was loud, especially on 3rd down. I think I saw the decimal reader max at 101 in the first quarter.

Not bad, but honestly not that great. With that many fans we should be able to go beyond 101.

People get the experience they want for the price of the ticket. It doesn't matter if some leave and some stay when a game is decided that early. The home crowd did it's job.

I was in LL and you could tell a big difference from your area in sound. I am used to it tho. Almost every bowl game I have been to we sounded pathetic compared to the other team. I wonder why we don't yell our school colors before games like most do?

We were pretty roudy in our section and stayed pumped up the whole game, but we also done a lot of tailgaiting to get ready LOL.. And yep hated to see it empty out so quick in the 4th quarter, I thought those of us who stayed till the end gave the team and Butch a great ovation!!! GBO

I sit in J which is about 2 sections away from the students and it stays pretty lively. The big draw back to this is that the Jumbo Tron is at your back and from my seats up you can't see it at all. But its still a good time, as long as your not in the overhang, they stay involved and its always loud as well.

If we could get all 102,000 UT Fans believing in this, we will win more games than ESPN says we are allowed to win! The FANS have to give 100% for 60 minutes, it's a responsibility to the players and coaches.

It was a GREAT job by our LOUD crowd!!!

We need to keep this up all season because a LOUD crowd does make a big difference in the game.
