http://www.rockytopinsider.com/2015/09/07/the-return-of-neyland/ The largest hostile crowd Oklahoma has played in front of is 88,119 against Ohio State in 1977. Bob Stoops has been here before, though, under Spurrier. My favorite quotes from an opposing team in regards to Neyland:
I remember watching a UT Auburn game (1988?) on TV that the crowd was so loud the TV cameras couldn't focus because Neyland was literally vibrating.
I would take a win exactly like that this Saturday with Hurd and Kamara doing their best Cobb Webb impersonation....
I expect Saturday to be like '06 Cal on steroids at the start of the game. Hopefully the play on the field gives the fans reason to keep it up all game.
I'd love to see a return on the late 90s Neyland, when you couldn't hear yourself think the entire game.
The loudest single moment I've ever heard it was Notre Dame 99. Longest for an entire game was Florida 98.
That's why I decided to make the trip. Cal '06 was amazing with regard to the buzz of the atmosphere and the noise of the crowd. I'm hoping to capture lightening in a bottle twice.
'99 Notre Dame is always one of the first games that I think about when I think of Neyland being loud, unfortunately I wasn't there in '98 for the UF game. Obviously the '06 Cal game was up there as being a great atmosphere. The '12 UF game was unreal at the start, but got quiet real quick. I still think the loudest single moment that I've heard is when Wilhoit hit the game winner against Florida. In half a second, it went from being able to hear a pin drop to deafening.
The Wilhout field goal is the only memory I have in Neyland that I think would qualify as one of its most raucous moments.
The thing that stands out to me about Notre Dame was it seemingly being non-stop from kickoff to the final whistle. I always hate talking about the Wilhoit winner because then I remember that is the last time that we beat Florida and I realize how long ago that has been. #buzzkill
the booing that followed a bogus ND touchdown, which was the first rushing TD allowed all year, had to have been the loudest recorded boo in human history
I remember thinking we had turned it around for good with Florida after Spurrier was gone and we had beaten them 3 of the last 4 times... WTF happened?
