Half the "fans" left at halftime, over 2/3 after the third quarter.

Clearly you weren't paying attention.It was not that quick. We were going nuts after that fumble return TD and the potential 3 and out for Miss State was the loudest I've heard Tiger Stadium (my first game this year). The big TD kind of let the air out of our sails, but we had them at 3rd down again, and again another huge TD puts them up 21. Some people started to get up at this point, but there was so much time left It was easily more than 90% of the fans still there when we pinned them at the 1 yard line. It was only until AFTER that and a few first downs later did people begin to flood out. Most were still holding out hope a stop or safety there would turn things around. It wasn't a nice site on television I'm sure, but let's not pretend the fans didn't wait until every last REALISTIC chance seemed long gone. The fact that it was "close" at the end is purely a fluke, a case of the Moo State Curse almost rearing its ugly head for the 15ht year in a row.
