Capacity Crowd?
Looks like a lot of people skipped the game, especially in the student section. This should make the attendance figure interesting.

Scott,
I think they had reason.
> Campus Notification: Contagious Gastrointestinal Virus
>
> At least 30 USC students living in or near the University

> The sickness is suspected to be a highly contagious

I finally realized that Scott actually doesn't go to the games! It makes sense now, because the student section was full and rockin'.
Scott, if you're going to watch from home at least stop making things up like a tabloid writer.
