Last 2 minutes of the Ole Miss @ South Carolina game on 9/24/09. This is when Sandstorm became the anthem of the Gamecocks.

[@mcribs1280]

videolover1489 what cycle involves never winning the sec title

[@nerfcommander4449]

So we all know. Sandstorm was first played at Williams Brice against LSU 2008 in a lost. The Next Time is was played was this evening (by the way that 3rd and 4th down may have been the loudest continual moments at WB, after Ace punt return against Georgia was the loudest single moment). The moment that made sandstorm a tradition was later that year against Vandy. Carolina was playing awful, down 10-7 in the 4th. A timeout was called and student section started a “We want sandstorm” chant, which they finally played. The next play was a 80 yard touchdown to Alshon. Tradition born!

[@JoeMilllionaire]

I'll second that...after that Georgia game,esp when Ace took it to the house....and Alabama in 2010..these are the loudest I've experienced. My father,however,who attended Carolina in the 80s told me there were some Georgia games then,where the stadium was swaying....it was so loud

[@McNuggetBrosWeather]

Wasint the loudest CFB moment when LSU caused an earthquake after a touchdown on 4th down with like 1 minute left

Yes that Georgia game when they were #5 and we were #6 was hands down the loudest I have heard Willy B in my 35 years. The jumbo screen actually went out for a while. But wait till this Saturday.....🐊⚰️

@@JoeMilllionaire 2011 and 2013 Clemson home games the stadium was swaying so he’s not bullshitting. One of the wildest things I’ve ever experienced, louder than nascar races at darlington and other short tracks (if you’ve been to any of those)

[@brianmcguffee7394]

I was at that game. My sophomore year at USC. That game was insane! One of the best games I have ever attended. Williams Brice was absolutely rocking!! There is not another stadium in the country that can duplicate what Williams Brice can when the Gamecocks are winning. There is not a more passionate fan base! South Carolinians love their state's University! Go Gamecocks!

[@bassandbucks4282]

Not trying to hate or be an asshole but look at university of Wisconsin jump around or penn state white out its insane me personally though im a west virginia fan and virginia tech fan (and yes I know theyre rivals) and I'd say these two teams have some of the rowdiest fans in the country (after big wins Morgantown can be scary tbh police in riot gear tear gas and bonfires in the street not to mention students throwing rocks and snowballs at the police and firetrucks it looks like the purge🤣🤣🤣) like I said though not trying to diss but USC isn't that nuts compared to some other schools which isn't necessarily a bad thing its good for a school to have devoted fans that aren't nuts

[@StubbsMillingCo.]

@@bassandbucks4282 🤷🏼‍♂️ it may shake. But it doesn’t SWAY! Like being at the top of a pine tree as the wind blows, you better hang on. Willy B is the most energetic stadium in the country. Anyone whos ever been under the light, specifically, knows what I’m talking about. I’m not talking half an inch. I’m talking FEET of movement. 3-4 feet movement, concrete 4 stories high moving 3-4 feet up and down. It’s wild.

[@bassandbucks4282]

Lane stadium is ranked as the 7th loudest and wildest stadium where as Williams brice is 10 at tech we have a fucking cannon we shoot off that combined with 66,000 crazed fans jumping and screaming to enter sandman creates an extremely intimidating atmosphere

I think it must have been in 2010. I was at Williams Bryce for the Gamecock win over #1 Alabama in 2010. With 6 min to go, the security officers started lining up around the perimeter of the field. They had no intention of letting the fans rush the field, even though it was the biggest win(at the time) in the history of the program.
