If I remember correctly, the assault on our sacred space began maybe 40-50 minutes before kickoff. The stadium was probably only 15-20% full and the student section was nicely filled-in. The general admission section maybe 75-80% full, and the fraternity/sorority section only 25-30%. ESPN GameDay was at the P-MAC so I'm sure lots of folks went in at least a few minutes later than usual.

The fragment I was given is in a memories-drawer at my Mom's in Baton Rouge, along with a few copies of the story they did about me in the Daily Reveille. Maybe I should snap a photo of the item next time I'm home and post it on here.

for reference, here's a couple screen-shots from the 1999 alabama at Florida game:
