2009 va tech vs GT all the way turnt up was the jam they broke out and the house went wild
Bill Lewis.Hoops: Dennis "Great" Scott's three to beat unc! I thought the Thrillerdome would cave in! Football: '92 vs F$U. Loudest sustained crowd noise I have ever heard at BDS. Place was rockin' for three and a half quarters. That game still gets to me thirty years later! Damn!
googled this and yes they did lose their wings.Just to add for the younger, and I am looking for any correction for myself, but didn’t the pilots lose their wings for being too low? Tech men unless I am wrong (again).

They are probably Delta pilots now.Mostly true. They kept their wings, they just were never allowed to fly planes for the Navy again.
That was gonna be my pick too. I remember I made my mom stay and watch with me as I watched the students all collectively jumping on the FG post. She was ready to go and said she was leaving me, and as she turned around they finally collapsed the FG.09 vs VT.
It was homecoming vs top 5 ranked VT. One of the best live sports game I've ever seen in person.
I missed that game. But heard that play by the library as I was walking on campus. Could only imagine being inside at the time.Sitting in student seat A-1-1 that night (Duke game). Not sure if it was that or the UNC game where Scott stole the inbounds and hit the 3.
Could not have said it better. The FSU game started with Deion showing up and the Chop occurring getting ready for the Braves playoff game that night. Bobby Dodd was RockinHoops: Dennis "Great" Scott's three to beat unc! I thought the Thrillerdome would cave in! Football: '92 vs F$U. Loudest sustained crowd noise I have ever heard at BDS.

I was a kid, but was there with my Dad. We sat in the south end zone, only a few rows up, so when Bama scored at the north end of the field and then went for two to win, we couldn’t tell if they made it or not. When we saw the Rats jump up and go crazy, we knew Tech had stopped them. That was the loudest I’ve heard it at BDS, before or since.1962 versus Bama. Tech wins 7 - 6.
That game was almost off the scale of human rage. This was a year after the infamous "Chick Graning Incident" and the entire stadium was filled to the brink with Tech fans looking for revenge. (Those not familiar with the background here can see: https://vault.si.com/vault/1962/11/26/a-rough-day-for-the-bear.) The whole joint was on its feet for the entire contest and yelling its heads off.
Admission: I didn't go to the game; I just heard it on radio. My best friend did, however, and he gave the report above. And when Tech won by intercepting Joe Namath, he said the noise was simply beyond belief.
And now you know why I hate Bama to this day and wish for now more chance to beat them again.
