    I think that's where playing Louisiana Tech in Ruston might help. That atmosphere was not exactly "lit". And we got down 9-0. But while Georgia will obviously be more hostile, it's at least something that our guys have a little bit of experience with.

    Athens is a little more golf clap and a little less rowdy IMO. I been to games there when GameDay was in town and it was still just meh... it'll be better than LaTech obviously, especially from a noise standpoint, but it's not like Starkville or Tiger Stadium where teams can feel the walls closing in on them.

    I'm glad someone else dosen't think Athens isn't all that from a gameday experience. I don't find anything about it intimidating. They are probably the quietest 90,000+ seat stadium in the SEC

    Alabama, except when they pipe in crowd noise over the upper deck loudspeakers. Anyone that has sat up there for a game, you know what I am talking about.

    Incorrect. Athens will be loud. It will not be golf clap.

    It'll be louder than most stadiums. It's just not the same as Davis Wade or Tiger Stadium.

    Just like Tennessee is loud, but it's not rowdy. There's a huge difference.

    Agree. Watched us play Georgia "Between the Hedges" in 2011 and the atmosphere was pretty tame despite Georgia dominating the game pretty much from beginning to end. Late arriving crowd, Granted it was a 12 eastern kickoff but still no excuse for the stadium being a little more than half full at kick and for the level of crowd noise more fitting for a tennis match rather than an SEC football game. They left early too and I know it was a blowout but with all the students streaming out at half, I thought I was in Oxford
