LSU vs. Auburn 1988 - The Earthquake Game 

omg

Yes indeed!💜💛🐅

Morgan Harris That’s exactly what it was.

Sound didn't play as big a role, but it was part of it. The crowd noise was LITERALLY deafening. Amongst family friends with their own stories at the game, my mom was in the student section (worst/best place for this experience). She said her ears were still ringing hours later at the afterparty. She didn't regain her hearing until the next morning. It wasn't just an instant crowd noise: the screaming lasted for almost a minute (you can tell by the length of this video that the fans never really quit screaming after the PAT).

I've been on large stadium's all my life for huge SEC games ..all over the conference...and I can tell you, never in my life have I been a part of a game atmosphere like that, all night, anywhere...we had it all night until that drive ..and the 4 down completion for the win, you cannot imagine, ..unless you were there....the ground shook, loudest craziest ever. Hats off to LSU, beat our ass ..we could have won a national championship that year...we never fully recovered.

I was there! Great night!

@@autkincorrect. Arrowhead stadium loudest

seeing it in the home screen o got intrigued🤣🤣

i***

the crowd cheered loud enough it was registered as an earthquake

The earthquake in question was a tremor caused by the sudden eruption of the crowd. It measured, I believe, a 2.1 on the Richter scale, according to the LSU on-campus geological seismograph. Thus, LSU and sports analysts have dubbed that game "The Earthquake Game".

LHS graduate myself - I was at the game and also watched Eddie play against DeRidder.

@@BigZhukovi remember when my hometown team Tioga, took on Deridder, good game

There wasn't an actual earthquake, but the crowd's reaction to this play triggered a seismograph in a nearby building. That's how this game became known as the earthquake game.

Really dude? You can't take a lost??? Make more excuses!

Boo-frickedy-hoo!!! That was 27 years ago!!! Let me guess, you blame LSU for Auburn losing the national title against Florida State? You're such a stereotypical Auburn fan: you crybaby about any and everything, attributing all your failures to everyone else except your own shitty team who lost the game themselves. Try this: live in the now so you can watch Auburn get their asses whipped in Death Valley again this year!

Pat dye would have played for a tie in the bowl game anyways.
