REF DOESN'T ENDEAR HIMSELF TO Y. CROWD

THE ROWDIES were out in force again in Provo Saturday. No doubt you've already heard. It got so loud at one stage that Dee Dowis, a quarterback from the Air Force Academy, said he couldn't hear himself yell out signals, and you know how the Academy is particular about only admitting cadets with...

It was friggin loud. I don't think I've ever been in such an electric atmosphere

delux_247

Gonzaga, Marriott Ctr, 2019...apples to oranges but that was electric

Parker Schnabel

Jimmer vs Kawhi (more apples) nm

9/14/21 11:16pm

Gotta replicate it for ASU

TempeCoug

9/14/21 6:17pm

That's not very realistic. Maybe replicating 80% of it would be a good goal

ryebrye

9/14/21 6:20pm

Yeah, I still don't have my voice. So worth it.

MrClark

9/14/21 8:41pm

Ditto. I’m glad it helped but I’m still hoarse.

Blue chunks

9/14/21 11:05pm

I don't think that my voice could handle doing that again.

Ya'll need to learn to tell the right way.

Like this guy?

ballen

9/14/21 11:29pm

If he hadn’t betrayed BYU he would have heard it plenty of times

9/14/21 6:17pm

Maybe Whitt is going to take the USC job . . . or retire before we play Utah again.

2FarGone

9/14/21 6:17pm

He should take the usc job so we can beat him again this year

zephyr

9/14/21 6:29pm

he should take it because it's a solid move for him. 4-5 years of success at USC would put him on track for an NFL job

ChinaFan

9/14/21 7:13pm

He’s getting too old, isnt he like 61?

pegushin

9/14/21 7:24pm

ahem, some of us don't think 61 is a bad number

ChinaFan

9/14/21 7:28pm

He looked old and tired this weekend

it wasn't that he looked old. It was the 80's throwback mullet coupled with....

USC will not offer Whitt

9/14/21 8:36pm

Nope...they require an offense

At some point they will be desperate enough to win

recency bias?

TheRowdy

Must be. They did take a year off of crowds, unfortunately

Jericho

9/14/21 6:18pm

Definitely

Kavorka

9/14/21 6:18pm

Could be. Loudest I ever heard was BYU/Utah 2001

shimmy

9/14/21 6:19pm

That was amazing.

Kyle doesn’t agree, evidently, because he was there and I am sure he remembers

He doesn't remember who is rival is lol... sure he can't remember 20 years ago

Couldn’t even hear myself screaming. It was deafening.

It was loud but the Miami game was louder, I was young but my ears rang for

I would add though I do think the Student section is better now

TempeCoug

The ROC really rocks. FB and BB. It's actually quite impressive.

The current ROC is light years better now than ever before. I’ve never heard the

BYU vs AFA 1989, Dee Dowis cried to the refs it hurt his ears so much

g$

9/14/21 6:25pm

Yep. That game was NUTS

inutero

9/14/21 6:43pm

He complained and under the old rules BYU was penalized for the crowd noise

WallaX2

9/14/21 7:04pm

Which only made the crowd louder

Carnac

9/14/21 7:54pm

Dowis throwing his hands up to the ref giving the "I can't hear" signal is the

and the crowd then flapping their arms in the "quiet down" movement, making the

gotdownsatonabench

9/14/21 7:55pm

I think Mangum to Jeurgens followed by the Nacua pick 6 against BSU was louder.

Duke Silver

9/14/21 7:12pm

I was thinking the same thing. That Boise State game was way loud.

MrTootles

9/14/21 8:09pm

YES! hard to top that BSU game with those huge, game-winning back to back plays.

cougfrvr

9/14/21 8:41pm

That's the loudest I've ever experienced. It was incredible.

9/14/21 9:09pm

I’d never heard anything like that in my life or since

Joysey

9/14/21 9:25pm

I’m glad the younger Nacua boys are getting to experience it like big bro did

Big Daddy D

9/14/21 10:16pm

He's right. It was the best I've ever seen either. Student section was amazing

Blueto

9/14/21 6:18pm

The stadium south of them where they played the in-state game?

cheezedawg

9/14/21 6:18pm

There was a lady near me that was screaming nonstop. I loved it. WEST SIDE GANG!

HingleMcCringleberry

9/14/21 6:19pm

Probably the loudest I have ever heard the west side. West is getting better.

ParentingNotForSissy

9/14/21 6:46pm

As a west sider: you’re welcome.

TheoHux

9/14/21 6:47pm

Sit down, fold your arms and be quiet.

9/14/21 7:07pm

West Side for Life!!!

9/14/21 8:06pm

You think you're mad, too unstable, kicking down chairs and knocking down tables

EtTuKalante

9/14/21 8:12pm

Call the police there is a mad man around...

TheHop

9/14/21 9:50pm

The last time I saw our stadium was that amped up was 2011 and Bronco happened..

IDK when Luke stomped down sideline in 2001 I thought it’d come crashing down

cougarblue

9/14/21 6:22pm

That's the loudest I've ever heard it.

Coug

9/14/21 6:23pm

Same

TADOW

9/14/21 6:26pm

That’s the one that comes to mind for me. Wasn’t at the Miami game though.

Bald Eagle

9/14/21 6:23pm

And then the Jernaro Gilford pick to seal it

BYU Fan

9/14/21 10:47pm

Yeah that flyover was REALLY loud haha

9/14/21 6:24pm

Byu - Air Force 1989. It was so loud the ref called a penalty on the crowd at

Incentivize

9/14/21 6:26pm

Was that the game where people were throwing tortillas on the field?

TXJason

9/14/21 6:27pm

No, the crowd was waving anything yellow and then started flapping their arms saying "shhhh". It was awesome

TXJason

9/14/21 6:32pm

People often threw touchdown tortillas on the field in that era.

inutero

9/14/21 6:47pm

Tortilla throwing wasnt A game

CasualFan

9/14/21 9:04pm

That’s the one I think of. And Miami. But I liked how it got louder the harder

It was the loudest Les stadium ever.

idacoug

9/14/21 10:33pm

Recently, I would almost have to go with BYU-BSU 2015 or even BYU-USC 2019 as louder, but it certainly was rocking on

specsauce

9/14/21 6:40pm

And BYU-A&M in 1996, despite a not quite sold out Stadium because not all students were back, might have been louder as

specsauce

9/14/21 6:42pm

This is my vote.

DiamondMo

9/14/21 6:48pm

USC was so hot. I can’t imagine we all had the energy to be as loud as Saturday.

BYUHawk

9/14/21 6:53pm

I don’t think that game was even top 10 loudest.

inutero

9/14/21 6:42pm

Most electric I’ve seen LES was against

truecougster

9/14/21 6:49pm

That one is top 5 for sure.

a priori

9/14/21 7:00pm

That was the loudest I've heard it.

Bert609

9/14/21 8:07pm

That's the loudest game I've ever been to as well. That crowd was electric

Ungoy

9/14/21 8:30pm

That was an amazing one. Top 5 for sure

CasualFan

9/14/21 9:00pm

Yup that place rocking! TD after TD after TD!

LES was electric from start to finish. Deafening on every UCLA third down and if

Miami in 1990 was incredibly loud and tense.

Hinta

9/14/21 6:51pm

Jaren Hall’s called-back TD run was the loudest I’ve heard it in a long time.

9/14/21 6:51pm

Nice to hear him acknowledge that. His team won't experience that again in any other PAC-12 venues the rest of the year

CLCougar

9/14/21 6:57pm

Or the next two years!

BYU/UCLA 2008 was louder than this game. Great energy but not the loudest.

Meh, after it was like 21-0 there was no crowd in that.

If Rice Eccles ever got that loud, his players wouldn't have been "astonished"

Weird acoustics. Wasn’t *that* loud in level 3. Must have projected down

Utah will have their chances this year to have that kind of atmosphere. UCLA, Oregon, ASU all in SLC.
