We've had some loud conference games. USM from a few years ago comes to mind. They couldn't hear at all and had false starts all afternoon. The crowd really got inside their heads. We've also had some loud games against Marshall and UCF recently.

I was mainly talking about last year. I remember the USM game when we blocked to xtra point and ran it back. That was really loud. And when we intercepted Houston at the end of the championship game. By the way I did not vote for ECU because we are not supposed to vote for our school. I voted UCF, but mainly from what I have seen on TV because of the camera shaking. UCF fans, quit jumping around so much, it makes me queasy.

I love that we do that

IIRC, there was a study where they put a decibel monitor on the Nip and the decibel monitor broke because it was so loud. It was only one of two schools have that happen. The other was LSU's stadium.

The loudest i've ever heard BHNS was the last play against Houston, 2013 on the 4th and goal stand.

Playing against USCe got really loud in the beginning too. UCF gets loud for our D, that much is true.

I voted Nip just because of the structure of the stadium. It's like the Seahawks or Autzen Stadium (speaking of, those Pacific Northwesterners know how to make noise)

This video is shot from the sidelines, raw video footage that really captures the sound and energy of Dowdy Ficklen.

And you 're surprised by this...WHY?

Only six? I'm shocked. It's the rum. It's always the rum.

Why isnt Tulsa a choice?

Now that was a beautiful day to be a Pirate!

I voted Cincy. UCF a distant third and everyone else WAY back.

has any school in the conference had a bigger win than this?

beat your in state 6th ranked SEC rival with a legend like peyton manning at qb



we are the rumplestiltskin of sleeping giants.

Not ranked that high, but ECU vs WVU in 2008 was close.

I think the games where UC beat Pitt and Lesean McCoy to get to the Orange Bowl, and the other game when UC came back from a big halftime deficit to beat Pitt at Heinz Field to get to the Sugar Bowl were pretty damn big games.

But it is loud. RG III said Rentschler Field in East Hartford was the loudest college stadium he played in, and (of course) he played in the Big 12 for four years.

Maybe a mod could erase my vote.

So SMU in you voted for UConn? I agree the Rent can get loud...but only for special event games...I think ECU or maybe UCF are the consistently loudest.

Yes, I guess with two schools I have the option at all times to claim either one as "my" school, freeing me up to vote for the other.

The Rent is loud, when UConn isn't 2-10.

No other video posted on here has come close to this one. UCF's last home game vs Houston. It was even louder in person. Since I can't vote for my own school, ECU has been my loudest road trip. Can't wait to visit Cincy and see/hear for myself.

Not instate, but 1999. Opened the year beat WVU in Charlotte at BofA stadium. Then beat Duke, next we won @South Carolina. Here where things go crazy. NC had been hit by Hurricane Dennis (twice), then the week of the USCe game Hurricane Floyd rolled through. The team was forced to in SC because of flooding here. We were supposed to #9 Miami at home the next week. The game had to be moved to NC State's stadium. We fell behind 20-3 at the half, roared back to win.





Fans not only cheered the win, we stormed the field at State and took their goal posts, but it was also a win that made people cry. Many of us had nothing left, ECU football was all we had. It was my freshman year at ECU.

I voted twice between Cincy / UCF. I'd say the Bearcats have the edge...........but it's close.

Oh, Dowdy-Ficklen held 43,000. But, even with the flooding and the game being moved to NC State's field, we put over 45,000 in the stands for that night game.





At the end of the year we hosted. NC State and beat them, giving ECU a 5-0 record against BCS schools that year.

Will never forget it, nor the entire season. That was my freshmen year and after a week working with my home town VFD pulling people out and taking supplies by boat to cut off towns, I went to my Aunt's house in Raleigh. We went to the game, I don't think I slept that night. The following Monday it was back on a boat taking supply to towns that had become islands.
