Long time Alum & booster told me never had seen so few fans in 4 Q ending. Think this was a powerful message that fans had given up to Bohn.
Never had Coli looked so empty & dead Saturday nite
- Thread starter Troy70
- Start date
Conversely, I hope we somehow sell out and pack the coliseum against Oregon St in two weeks to show our approval to Bohn's correct (if not late) move, and to show the players our abandonment was not on them.
I thought it was because they turned the lights off and everyone just got up and left. 
Ha, think she was referring to mass exits in3-4 Q. Recall in Pete era many alums stayed after game to cheer along with TMB & Song Girls ,lasted another 20minutes
i have not missed a home game since 1968. Been going since 1955. I have never left a game early, win or lose. 51-0, you name it. This time was a first. The team quit after the pick 6. i could no longer bear to watch it.
Those who left early missed an excellent example of our players and coaches demonstrate a never say die spirit to score 2 quick touchdowns when all seemed lost to close within 14 points. Hopefully, under new leadership our players maintain that same fortitude.
I have been to Trojan games for 70 years. I remember when there was close to 100K people in the coliseum. At the end of the 3rd quarter the coliseum emptied like it was on fire. Even before it emptied I would bet there was only around 50K fans if that.....at a Stanford game???
And came to the games early for Trojan Walk and watching warmups. Special times. . .
It started with so much energy in the building, the dark out was a great touch but that energy quickly fizzled. From the opening kickoff where our kicker gets ejected for targeting, everything from there just seemed off and you got the feeling that it was going to be a bad night for the Trojans as it turned out to be.
The play of the team literally sucked the life right out of the Coli. I was sitting in the player's family section and watched the look on the faces of Bohn and the rest of the administration as they walked passed in the fourth quarter, it was like they already knew what was going to be done.

No. I was referring to the "lights out" entrance before the game started. Gimmicky. Didn't exactly do anything to boost performance on the field.
