For those of you that were there for these games. Which atmosphere was best, which one would we like to see most duplicated this weekend.

I have friends that said walking into the stadium against LSU in 2017 just felt different.

I watched all of them on TV and I could feel it through the screen. Just wondering.

auburn in 14 is the answer as far as the entire game and the atmosphere and just how it felt. however, the absolute loudest single moment i've ever experienced was early in that a&m game when we stopped them on 4th and short in our territory. that single burst was even more than the johnson or banks pick 6s in those respective games even tho those 2 instances were a much more sustained insanity.

14 Auburn followed by 17 Bama. 17 LSU was hype but it wasn't near those two. A&M 14 is probably 3rd.

The 14 AU game was electric everywhere, from the tailgate to the drive home it was great.

The Johnson pick six made the East side of Scott Field shake. And yes it was the loudest. Everyone in the stadium knew as soon as the QB let go of the ball it was a pick six.

The year we lost a last minute game to Arkansas right after the death of Nick Bell. That was a wild atmosphere.
Jonathon Banks vs Tebow. Anthony Johnson pick 6 against Saban.

I was just thinking about that one, My BIL and a couple of friends and I were standing outside the west side of the stadium pre game, it was a mad house. We looked at each other that night and said "I didn't think I would ever see this here."

When Nick Bell's mother broke the moment of silence with the cowbell.........still gives me chills. That place was loud that night. I left that night thinking that we were probably one of the best 10 teams in the country. By the end of the year, our offense was humming and our D was downright terrifying.

Auburn for sure. But the loudest moment I ever experienced was 2009 against Florida when Banks picked Tebow and ran it back 90 yards for 6 going into halftime. I don?t think it will ever get that loud again

2014 Auburn is the pinnacle.

But, 1992 Florida is still right up there. Being on Thursday Night with 2 Top 25 teams was unique then. Campus was electric all week. It was so big classes were cancelled.
And then we destroyed that prick Shane Matthews. DWS was LOUD (with hardly any cowbells). We partied through the weekend on that one.

That was quite a moment. You could hear a pin drop until she rang that bell. Then the place erupted.

Yeah that was great.

1999 Egg Bowl was also about as electric as Scott Field has ever been as well. It was pandemonium when we scored to tie and whatever is the next step past that after the pick

I was 6 when that happened. I remember being there and my dad still says to this day, had someone smelled me that night CPS would've been called. There was more liquor and beer being thrown when we tied it and when we kicked the GW than had been thrown before or has been thrown since.

Thank y'all for the stories. Auburn it is, don't know if we will touch it this week but if we win the next two. That Thanksgiving game is going to be absolutely bonkers.

I was too young to remember which game it was, I think it was against arky, we stormed the field, my brother got his hat signed by JJ Johnson. Great memories.

Edit: just remembered my Dad got a speeding ticket headed up there. We were living in Meridian at the time. I remember thinking "this cop isn't going to give us a ticket. He just asked if we were headed to the game and my Dad said yeah." He gave my Dad a ticket, I remember thinking he was probably an Pissville fan.

I still remember being in training in Jackson for my first job out of college and we had a basketball game at 6 in Starkville and we got out of training at 4:45. I think I went 75 on 16 and was 90 all the way on 25 from Carthage to Starkville. I pulled into Starkville on 2 wheels basically at about 5:55

The greatest atmosphere....and the greatest unis......The FIRST night game at Davis Wade.......Cold as H***......beautiful cloudless sky after morning rains.....northwest winds......back when you could park and party under the oak trees on university drive and the old rr track, KNOCKING OFF LSU after they beat Bama at bama..........it just did NOT GET ANY BETTER...

I was actually there for all 3. I was 16 in 2014. What a time. I would say 2014 Auburn -Game day was a blast. I will NEVER forget that stadium chant during 2014 AM though

Yep, I was there for that one also. We watched them put up the portable light systems from the front porch of the fraternity house.

For me, Jackie had some pretty memorable great atmosphere games. 1999 was the pinnacle of that IMO for his era. That's still MSU's best Egg Bowl win of all time. 1996 vs. Alabama was insane. I could feel the stadium shake when Alabama turned the ball over on downs at the end. 1992 Florida is top three as well and Florida 2000 was a pretty good atmosphere.

With Croom, 2007 Alabama and the 2007 Egg Bowl that year were both pretty good.

For Dan, I would say Florida 2009 was a really good atmosphere even though we lost. I'd have to say Auburn 2014 was the best atmosphere during Dan's tenure though. Probably won't get much argument there if I had to guess. LSU 2017? Definitely a really fun game if you are a MSU fan. Texas A&M 2014 was a good atmosphere as well.

I received the news that we were #1 on my ride back home that Sunday. That was the best drive home ever.

If we somehow win the next two. I could the egg this year being more intense. Night game, egg bowl, three game win streak probably top 25 ranking, pulling ourselves out of the gutter, COTY talk. Man just so much would be riding in that game.

I hate to burst your bubble, but the egg is an 11AM kick.

2014 Auburn. The only thing missing was a night game. However, the year Dak came off the sidelines from the nerve injury to beat Ole Miss was just as good. My man Nikoe with the strip fumble caused a dynamite explosion.

I preferred it on Thanksgiving. If you had to, you could have lunch with your family and be in Starkville by 4. We just always ended up having Thanksgiving at the condo, which my mother secretly preferred because it meant less cleanup.

Every other year we had our Thanksgiving meal at our tailgate. I thought it was awesome.

I’m with you Coach, people that weren’t involved with the Dogs or the Ditch would watch with interest.......Why would they change......
