By the way, I'm gonna pull out a homer pick here and nominate Scott Stadium. Reason is, since I started at UVA we are 57-43 (.570) but 38-12 (.760) at home. Even with the usual home boost teams get, that's a lot. Admittedly some of those losses are real clunkers, but there aren't many of them, and a lot of those wins are upsets, blowouts, or both.

I was in C-Deck for The Game in '06 and I can distinctly remember my ears ringing during the moment of silence for Bo during the pregame, so that means that the stadium was rocking loud enough to make my ears ring prior to the game even starting (cheering for the band was especially loud). In my opinion, that is one of the things that separates Ohio State fans from the rest, we embrace all aspects of the University and all of the traditions that come with it.

I don't recall too many on this site who "embraced" Dr. Karen Holbrook's crackdown on booze and tailgating, but yeah, I think the school does a far better than average job of supporting and embellishing traditions. Here are some I'm sad to have seen gone: 1. The doughboy statue just inside the gate at 15th and High. 2. The playing of taps each Wednesday to honor OSU grads who died serving their country. 3. The May Day military review on the Oval. 4. Homecoming decorations on living quaters and not floats in a parade. 5. North and South 'bergs. 6. Charberts, Longs, Ptomaine Tommy's, The Venetian and all the other non-corporate stores on High Street.

Yup. During an otherwise ho-hum afternoon with OSU toying with YSU, Appalachian St got the biggest cheer, and the Big 10 Network scoreboard promo got the biggest boo.

When I read this line, I actually got freakin chills. I haven't been in years but I went when I was younger, and I can still feel the atmosphere.

edit: I watched all the videos from the post above mine, firstly I think its great that tOSU and PSU fans were reveling in Michigan's loss. But the last video is the best. The App. St. fans actually in the Big House, that little kid, "We just beat Michigan! We just beat Michigan!" while all the blue fans are walking out with their heads down, silent. Priceless.

Same thing happened to me in '95 during the ND game. I was in C-deck.

If I remember correctly our fans got us a penalty for being too loud during that game because little ol' Ron Powlus couldn't hear his cadences and call audibles.

As a side note, as well, I was there for the 2005 Texas game and I've never experienced anything quite as loud, just constant noise and eruption up until the very disappointing end.
