And then ripped down Minnesota’s goal posts and carried them out of the metrodome.
FSU fans - what's the loudest you've ever heard Doak Campbell?

Was that the game when Kenny Shaw was concussed in the end zone in a Sooner sandwich?
Debunked what? Was there an actual penalty? I don’t recall. Did the refs stop play because we were too loud? Yes.
That was a different year I believe. I wasn't there for the goalpost fiasco but I was part of the noise. I was also there when Michael Burger dropped the ball right before the goal line and I forget who recovered in the end zone.
For the record, I was there. We got the penalty and I'm surprised Hayden didn't get another penalty. And then the Minnesota band started in to try to get yet another one for us.
This would be it for me too. My seats were lowish, in the end zone, so that made it considerably louder. When Frier's touchdown was straight toward us, and it was the cacophony of a stadium full of demons being exorcised.
The loudest stadium experience I ever had though was at UF in 93, ten seconds before Ward to Dunn. I was in literally the first row in the end zone on that (I can point myself out to my kids on extra points on the replay), and it was insanely loud on the field the couple plays before Ward and Dunn put it away. It was bizarre because the play went away from us, so being so low in the endzone, we couldn't see what was happening much beyond the completion. But you could see the entire crowd sitting down as Ward raced down the sideline, like a reverse wave, ending in a deafening silence.
93 was my last season there, and after that I've only made it to 1-2 games a year, and with kids, so we almost always picked low stakes games with a thinner crowd and hopefully a guaranteed win, so I really haven't experienced a bonkers crowd there since I graduated.
I believe the goalpost fiasco was under Ferentz, if I'm not mistaken. The delay of game was under Hayden.
I'm pretty sure the NCAA got rid of that stupid rule in the mid '00s. The refs should not have been enforcing it in 2011. I'm not saying it didn't happen, just that it was wrong and dumb. It cost Iowa a game against Michigan when Harbaugh was their Qb in the 80s.
Maybe recency bias, but I love how loud the Super Dome got after this…
That OU game was the first game that came to mind. Some others for me are the Choke at Doak ('94 tie vs UF) and the '96 UF Game. I think it was 2000 when Weinke threw that 98 or 99 yard TD pass against Clemson. That play was pretty loud. Some other loud plays are the one where our kicker (Scott Bentley) chased a clemson player down from behind after they had scooped up a block field goal attempt. Multiple Tamarick Vanover returns against UF where Spurrier refused to kick away from him and he averaged something like 70 yards a return.

Was that the Rooster game? Or the one where we basically killed Wuerffel? Both of those were deafening.
That's right...memory ain't what it once was. That was loud as hell too.
I was in the student section in that end zone a couple rows from the field. We all saw that Weinke still had the ball and started going apeshit before he even threw the pass. We had an around-the-world party with a bunch of houses before the game, so we were already rowdy as hell! Thanks for posting, I had forgotten about that memory over the years.
Wuerffel "hit till the echo of the whistle" was 96 and dubbed game of the century, 1 vs 2. Goalposts came down and made their way to Tenn St.
98 was the Rooster game (Weinke had a broken neck). The teams got into a fight before the game, they lost a starter and we lost 2 scrubs to ejection. Doug Johnson tried hitting Bobby with a football but missed. When a reporter asked Bobby what he'd do if it was his qb that tried to hit Spurrier he said, "He woulda hit him!".

Don’t forget Weinke was a back-up as well. Dan Kendra was going to be the starter until he blew his knee at the spring game. National Championship game against Tennessee with the third string QB and we were hanging tough, until Richt decides to call a deep out with a noodle arm QB
I stopped at a tailgate where I knew exactly one person. Ended up doing shots (honestly I’m a one drink person) and getting into it and the tailgate ended up being selected as the “Publix Tailgate of the Week”, flashed on the screen at Doak.
My grown children had partied at another tailgate. They see their Mother flashed up there at some rando fraternity Alumni party and the teasing did not stop for years.
As a non Florida guy, I almost forgot about Sexy Rexy.
Geez, was every Florida QB a douche? Must have been their type for a while.
Danny Weurfel wasn’t a douche. He’s one of the few good guys that made the mistake of going to Hogtown U.
Yea, I was more referring to the run of Sexy Rexy, Leak, Tebow, and I think Cam Newton was even there for a bit.
Tebow is pretentious and overrated, but isn’t a bad human. His Night to Shine event is pretty cool. The rest absolutely suck ass.
The ND game was pretty loud.I heard the Notre Dame game a few years ago was one of the loudest as well as that Clint Trickett OU game. It was pretty loud the night ofBobby BowdenRon Zook field when Chris Rix came off the bench. Man, I thought we were going to win that night.
😡🤬
I was at that ‘99 game in hogtown. In the EZ where FSU students were. It was defining, hate giving them credit though.
