The goal Saturday is to meet or exceed the gold standard:

I was fortunate to be at that game. So many memories. The loudest Kyle Field has ever been and you could still hear the band. Amazing.

My senior yr. Was in the 2nd deck, about the 5th row, 40 yd line. It was epic.

That video never gets old

2010 Nebraska is the Gold Standard IMO

This. This is the most raucous Kyle field has ever been.
9-6 instant classic

I was there. Sophomore year. Couldn't talk for a week. Lord, I miss those days. lol

I was there.
Class of 1986.

Not taking away from that game (I wasn't there so have to go on other eyewitnesses). But I wonder if that was also a time where refs actually cared how loud the crowd was being. That is, it just seems like it was the loudest since the refs were pausing the game? Now a days, refs wouldn't bother.

FWIW - I recall some KSU game in Kyle maybe right around 1999 / 2000 after we won the Big 12 that was really loud and they were measuring it on the sidelines with a decibel meter. Thinking also the OU 2000 game was really loud, and yea, recall that Nebraska game in 2010 was loud. Seem to recall Clemson (2018?) being ear-splitting -- a Clemson fan sitting next to me gave me a Clemson $2 bill at the end and commented how crazy the atmosphere was and the sound.

For fan to noise ratio nothing beats 1998 Nebraska.

Yeah, I was there. That sequence was amazing.

The noise never really let up, and it was deafening. It was a roar the whole time the sip QB stood there, and then got louder when he got under center, and then escalated even louder when the Crew sacked his ass.

The night it rained cotton - who can forget. Best night in Kyle bar none. 19 years of pent up frustration was finally released as we were going to the Cotton Bowl for the first time since '67.

And to think we did it it without that silly, stupid, inane, life sucking DJ. How was it at all possible. Oh - I know - the 12th Man was allowed to be the 12th Man without constant interruption.

Snowing cotton was 85. This game was 87. There had a been a rule change that season that allowed the QB to wait if signals couldn't be heard. Dumb rule that didn't last.

This was most definitely Kyle Field '85 - Jackie's BD 42-10. It took us to the Cotton Bowl on January 1, 1986 for the first time in 19 year.

My senior year. What an unbelievable turnaround we experienced beginning midway through our junior year.

Never say never. Never quit.

I don't recall what the rules were at the time regarding "crowd noise" but how typical that the refs would hold play for tu until they could hear better.

Man all these years later and I still have so much hate for the sips.

Back in the day before anyone - the announcers, the refs - even tried to hide their pathetic bias for tu

I remember it well. University Drive was closed on Northgate because of the partying! Man, what a night!

Saw both. Nebraska game wasn't in the same league as 85 (or 87 for that matter).

It also helped you had to jump around and get loud as hell to try and stay warm.

Wrong. Stadium capacity was much larger in 2010. You couldn't hear as well as you did 25 years earlier

2010 Nebraska - people were handing out throat lozenges before the game

Such BS. And they were going to flag us for the crowd noise too! And y'all wanted to get back in bed with these toxic they/thems.

There's simply no logistical way that was the loudest kyle field has ever been. It doesn't work that way.

crowd noise AND 7-8 in the box…. good times

You probably just couldn't hear as well in 2010 . JK, just giving you a hard time. Where you sit can also matter.

I have heard from many that Nebraska was louder. In fact, that quite a few have been louder since. To each their own. Unless you have a decibel count back at that game, it's your word versus there's. But logically speaking, it doesn't make sense. Closed in end zone. 30K more people.

Yes, we have more fans in the stadium now. But too many arrive late, leave early, and don't yell loudly when they are there.

Thank the DJ and the piped in music for that. 2010 Nebraska was the best I've ever seen Kyle Field in person. It reminded me of the 4th quarter/OT comeback against Okie Lite in '97 except it was like that the entire game. He's too little to remember it, but that was MiniSlicer's first game to attend.

Here. I mean, was there. Drove in from Austin. Upper deck. Awesome game. Just totally destroyed tu.

The Gold Standard is yell loud. And be louder than the jumbotron. Be louder than the DJ. And keep yelling. I have been to many loud games and others have been to many more. The argument will always be in old army we were louder. It doesn't matter that you weren't alive yet the standard is set and can't be matched today. The Gold Standard is relative to your game experience and youtube won't do it justice. So remember that game and try to recreate it for the next generation.

I've been to pretty much every epic game since 1975. I still think Nebraska 2010 was the best. Just incredible.

They wouldn't bother today because the rules are different. Back then the play clock didn't start until the QB got under center, and the rules allowed the refs to throw a flag on the crowd for being too loud.

it could have used a really loud obnoxious DJ playing da hip hop beats though...

We do our part. This coaching staff needs to meet a gold standard game plan.

The crowd needs to keep it going IMMEDIATELY after each play. Don't let up!
