The stadium wasn't damn near empty. Yes, there were alot of empty seats but there is no need to embellish.

Ole Miss was just bad at that time. It was a day game and the fans did on that day much like the fans do today. Another thing to remember is the west upper deck had just opened in 1978 so alot of people who used to sit in the end zones moved to the upper deck.

In those days there were two, maybe three college games televised each week on ABC. Unless a big matchup identified at the beginning of the season (Tex/OU, OSU/Mich), who was going to be on was announced on like the Tuesday before.

This was a scheduled night game and, when moved suddenly to the afternoon for regional television, many folks couldn't make it. I had planned to go, but couldn't get out of a daytime commitment.
