Just read this article about how the crowd noise penalties almost lost the game!

Can't believe this was ever a rule in the first place.

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

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

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

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

MrClark

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

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

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

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

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

Nope...they require an offense

At some point they will be desperate enough to win

Definitely

Kavorka

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

That was amazing.

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

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

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

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

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?

9/14/21 6:18pm

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

HingleMcCringleberry

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

As a west sider: you’re welcome.

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

And then the Jernaro Gilford pick to seal it

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

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

TXJason

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

inutero

Tortilla throwing wasnt A game

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.

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

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

This is my vote.

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

BYUHawk

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

Most electric I’ve seen LES was against

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

Miami in 1990 was incredibly loud and tense.

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

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