Was Saturday the loudest LES has ever been? My take:

We need a decibel meter at LES

My dream is a 5 story tall column of lights visible in LES that rises with the noise level in real time (like the

Make the light quality strictly dependent on decibel levels.

Yes please. Somebody do this

Measure it in real time and it improves instantly!

AFA 1989.

What's funny is that it wasn't really very loud until Dowis complained.

Jeffacka

9/15/21 7:12am

I don’t know the backstory here. What happened?

Jazzyturtle

9/15/21 7:21am

It was pretty silly.

Jeffacka

9/15/21 7:25am

Yes BYU was penalized for crowd noise. Also, Dowis died while driving drunk about 5 years ago. He had a BAC of 0.233.

Conan

9/15/21 7:38am

Why do we mention that or bring that up? Seriously, what's the point?

krindorr

9/15/21 7:49am

I didn't take that as an intended insult. More of a where-are-they-now (in a sad way) thing.

kccougar

9/15/21 8:07am

That was the intent of my post. I assumed many werent aware of the circumstances surrounding his tragic, senseless death

Conan

9/15/21 8:39am

You should never mention tragic news.

Jeffacka

9/15/21 9:00am

Thisnis TIC right?

theozfam

9/15/21 9:31am

Yes.

Jeffacka

9/15/21 9:38am

and there is nothing humorous about it.

Belboz

9/15/21 11:27am

He was the QB involved in the crowd noise incident.

Jeffacka

9/15/21 8:12am

I get that, but still... Imagine the shoe on the other foot

krindorr

9/15/21 8:26am

Yeah, but that's a hypothetical that didn't happen in this case.

Jeffacka

9/15/21 8:29am

Clearly it didn't happen; would it be OK with us if it did?

krindorr

9/15/21 8:35am

No rip ever happened.

Jeffacka

9/15/21 8:36am

So the argument you're going with is that nobody on CB ever spoke negatively of Todd Noall?

krindorr

9/15/21 8:40am

What does Todd Noall have to do with Dee Dowis? I never mentioned Todd Noall.

Jeffacka

9/15/21 8:59am

I said if we rip on Noall for things, we shouldn't do similar. You then said that there was no ripping

krindorr

9/15/21 9:51am

I don't see that it was a "rip" on Dowis.

Belboz

9/15/21 10:36am

The only person I mentioned being ripped on is Noall

krindorr

9/15/21 11:09am

Well, it's entirely different. One guy is dead.

Belboz

9/15/21 11:24am

Valid points; I may just be sensitive to it in the moment

krindorr

9/15/21 11:38am

wow...that's so sad. I didn't know that

icecougar

9/15/21 2:18pm

I remember at one point the crowd took out their keys and rattled them instead

franklyvulgar

9/15/21 7:55am

That was common back then.

Jeffacka

9/15/21 8:12am

As I recall the stadium just got louder and louder until the ref waved Dowis

StalwartBraveTrue

9/15/21 8:01am

I was only 14, but I remember it well. It wasn't terribly loud.

Jeffacka

9/15/21 8:13am

Wait, do you and Belboz have the same profile pic?

Mr. Rumsfield

9/15/21 9:48am

No, we both had old ladies from different sides of the family.

Jeffacka

9/15/21 9:56am

Crowd was penalized multiple times, but the half-the-distance penalties were

Stacey Corley returned two KOs for TDs in that game.

Jeffacka

9/15/21 12:57pm

Any videos of this exist? quick search didn't turn one up for me.

MormonThug

9/15/21 11:18am

I thought it was loud but not that loud

kccougar

9/15/21 6:54am

I was in the nosebleeds (xx). It surprised me how little I could hear up there.

Jazzyturtle

9/15/21 6:58am

I wasn't there on Saturday but others for consideration...

gmj81

9/15/21 7:00am

I can't imagine it topping the Miami game.

Jeffacka

9/15/21 7:13am

THIS, I was exhausted by halftime from yelling non stop

airwolf

9/15/21 12:48pm

How can you guys remember the Miami game? I was there too... but man, that's a

Boomcannon

9/15/21 4:57pm

I'll never forget that night.

Jeffacka

9/18/21 12:22pm

The impression on TV was very good. Loud from beginning to end

deljdc

9/15/21 7:38am

I agree. Loudest sustained volume, start to finish

palangi

9/15/21 7:45am

With music etc playing over loudspeakers, there was definitely more consistent noise than in past games. Hard to say if

Rhino84

9/15/21 7:48am

I honestly was screaming at the top of my lungs and couldn’t hear myself at all.

StalwartBraveTrue

9/15/21 7:52am

3 of the loudest I can remember

zerome4sooners

9/15/21 8:03am

All legit. Hard to beat Miami in ‘90. Everyone stood and yelled the entire game

Horacio Caine

9/15/21 8:25am

Yeah, wasn't able to be at that one. I imagine that was loud as well

zerome4sooners

9/15/21 9:25am

I don't remember the Miami game being that loud.

greentruth

9/15/21 10:13am

umm no. That crowd was hyped from the opening kickoff to the last play.

SoValleyCOUG

9/15/21 2:01pm

Yep...Miami game was intense! Crowd on edge of seat every play.

SoValleyCOUG

9/15/21 12:25pm

Great insights. Exactly what I was thinking.

greentruth

9/15/21 10:09am

This is the loudest moment I remember at a BYU game.

Jeffacka

9/15/21 8:27am

That may be the most animated I've seen Lavell Edwards.

WhyaskY?

9/15/21 8:50am

I definitely had to turn down the volume on my phone in the shower for that

Ten_Hour_Drives

9/15/21 10:00am

It had a lot to do with the team’s performance on the field.

I remember 2004 ND game being pretty darn loud

karatekid

9/15/21 10:06am

Wasn’t at the game Sat, but wanted to nominate 1992 SDSU as loudest. That game

The Chelsea Dagger

9/15/21 10:17am

W 3k more souls, tough to beat 1990 Miami because that was noticeably louder

CorndogStickshift

9/15/21 10:26am

AFA 1985, Miami 1990, Utah 2001, Utah 2007, Utah 2009, BSU 2016, Utah 2021.

Turnpike Lane

9/15/21 10:29am

Whittingham said it was the loudest in all the times he's been there.

jwalk

9/15/21 11:22am

No. Miami 1990

coolblue

9/15/21 11:34am

I have to agree. That was the best crowd overall that I’ve seen at LES.

MVPlayer

9/15/21 11:38am

ND game when Brady Quinn was QB was louder.

Dynomite

9/15/21 12:10pm

It def was that’s the loudest I have heard that stadium.

karatekid

9/15/21 2:19pm

I can’t be sure what was louder

bubbastats

9/15/21 12:36pm

Miami, without a doubt!
