Students leaving early is not unique to OU but it's just seems we have a larger percentage and its magnified because they dominate that entire side of the stadium. The tower side of the stadium stays full most of the game unless it's a blowout. I will admit I let in 4th quarter yesterday. I was watching the WVU game last night and notice the upper deck had cleared out by about 50% in 2nd half and that game went to OT. I was pleasantly surprised at how many students on the hill remained during 2nd half.
In a side note OUr last 2 home games have out drawn Marshall's last 2. They drew just over 18,000 vs Old Dominion and just over 22,000 vs Southern Miss.
I feel like next Saturday will be another nice crowd but then the weeknight games hit and the average will take a beating.
I know it's not a unique situation, it just feels like by percentage, we tend to have more of an exodus than other schools. With the tower side, I just wish they would consistently cheer more/louder. They do fine on big plays, but it's other situations that are lacking
At the same time, I really don't want to complain too much because our numbers are awesome, and we DESTROYED Fiami!!
That Marshall stat is awesome as well!!
