Those that attended 2004 UF v. UT and Yesterday's game

Yesterday Was different than 04 Florida because in 04 we were used to winning. Right now it's been a while so it was thrilling to get a win after losing so much. I think this win meant more in some ways because we've been down and I think it meant everything to those players! They deserved it

IMO, Travis Stephens' TD right before the hob nailed boot TD was the loudest I've ever witnessed at Neyland. I was there yesterday and '04 Florida. When Stephens scored, Neyland was literally (and yes I mean the actual definition of literally) moving and swaying.

1. Uga hobnailed boot game
2. '04 Florida
3. '98 Alabama
4. Yesterday

(Only game I missed in '98 was the UF game)

I thought the Georgia/Vols game a couple weeks ago was one of the loudest I've heard Neyland, and I've been at 04 and yesterday's game.. It blew my mind the way the volume went up three times, depending how frustrated Murray was getting.

What was unique about yesterday compared to all others I've been to is how consistently rowdy and noisy the crowd was. That's never been seen by myself. I've also never seen 70,000 stay for 15 minutes after the game to celebrate. That was magical. It was one of the best, if not the best atmospheres I've been too, but definitely not the loudest.

I agree, we yelled pretty much non stop.

I'm the exact opposite. I attended the 2004 UT/UF game, but did not attend yesterday's game.

When Wilhoit made that 50 yarder, it was the loudest I have ever heard Neyland Stadium. I've been to some exciting, loud games before, too (2006 Cal, 2006 UF).

I would imagine the ultimate Neyland experience would've been 1998 Florida, though. I wish I attended that game. It was magical.

1998 UF was the loudest I have ever heard it. It was amazing. Second loudest, 1996 against bammer.

And may wins over both of those in Neyland be repeated soon. :clapping:

Was @ 04 Fl, 06 Cal, & was there yesterday... I personally think Cal 1st Quarter was the loudest i have heard Neyland....

But yesterday was unique. early kick, old guys back, spurrier, & it got loud especially after kick. Just a feeling of damn.. I haved missed this. Great day! One i will remember.

I agree - and I was also at the hobnail boot game - that crescendo of sound two weeks ago - I didn't think it was possible to get any louder - then it did - twice. I just stood there in awe with tears (I know - I know but they were there) feeling total joy...so happy to be a part of that magic

Wish I could have been there yesterday - my friend called and held the phone up for me and I could feel it!

and Mark Richt pretty much said that was the loudest he'd been anywhere, but then realized what he was saying then amended with the LSU/GA game was really loud.

I was in the student section in that game, and we were far enough away that it was difficult to see if Wilhoit's kick was good or not. And then this wave of noise came rumbling our direction. It was incredible. Probably the coolest sports-related experience for me. Ever.

This. That was my first year at UT and I swear the stadium shook that night when the kick went through. I know I ended up like 3 rows down from where I started due to the celebration that ensued. Yesterday my reaction was very similar to that UF game because a weight had finally been lifted off of us but nothing can compare to the post kick atmosphere of 2004.
