Random question. What is the loudest you've heard Bobby Dodd Stadium or The Thrillerdome in person? I'll start.

[TooTall]

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.

Don "Ole Stick 'um" Toner made that int, my ex-uncle in law. He's receiving the game ball from Dodd in the famous post game lockerroom photograph. Haven't seen him at games the couple of years but know he had season tix in section 101 or 102 for years.

1999, Manget kick to beat Dwags in OT after Jasper Thanks fumble.

That’s my pick as well.

A lot of good football players in that photo! I especially liked Rufus Guthrie (63 above).

That was a collective “Oh $#!+” from everyone who thought they were about to hit the building behind the stadium.

The pilots lost their wings for that one.

people forget that we lost the week prior to pitt on a walk off 56 yard FG. It felt at the time that history was repeating itself.

Iirc, the kickers name was blew it. But he Nailed it.

We owe them.

Their QBs name was Pickett, but we bever seemed to do that either....

I call it the Pitt Name Curse.

The guy who scored the TD right before that photo was taken, CJ Williams, is a teacher at my school!

CJ also was on the basketball team and scored a late basket against NCSU off a long in-bound pass in Raleigh. Great two sport athlete.

2015 FSU loudest Ive heard BDS. The Thrillerdome was either Scott Petway's jumper to beat wake in '83 or Dennis steal and three to beat UNC in the first time they played UNC on campus since joining the ACC.

Dennis Scott was in the tunnel as that 3 went thru the net…he knew he made it when he shot it. That was my first tech bball game as a student. Crazy!

Basketball Feb 1988 we beat #5 Duke. I could not even talk (Scream) to my friend sitting next to me.

Either one of the ND games or one of the upsets of UGA for football

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.

09 vs VT.

It was homecoming vs top 5 ranked VT. One of the best live sports game I've ever seen in person.

 

[Ramble1885]

I’ve seen that play by Scott. That’s amazing. I don’t know about Petway, that must’ve been our first big ACC win considering it was in ‘83 before we really got going.

ALL THE WAY TURNT UP!

 

[GTBandman]

i was also at the GT UNC game where Scott stole it and fired in the three. Absolutely went nuts with everyone else. I don't think I could talk for 2 days - no voice left.

 

[wreck1]

That was scary!!

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).

When Dez White scored against Vagina, to take the lead, in 1998.
