Nope. I stayed to the end. But you weren't alone. It was a ghost town in the upper rows of section 128 after the half.

Least you showed up for half the game.
I decided after UTEP I'd watch every game to the end regardless of result. Team didn't quit; we may lose games to better teams (next week could be brutal given Penn State looks like a national championship contender) but this team definitely has fight in it.

I’m there with you. I left early in the third. My son had enough but we made it home in 5 minutes and got to watch both the OSU ending and our entire finish.
Man, i was close to leaving a few times, but somehow the Cats kept me in it! So glad I stayed for the W!
I was interested in the background of the idiom “eating crow” and found this:
When I go for walks at Torrey Pines Reserve I feel like the blackbirds (ravens & crows) watching in the trees are looking down at me as a potential meal. I have to stop watching old Hitchcock movies!

Happy for all of you that stuck through that for that incredible ending. Best home win for the fans in a while as Cappy pointed out.
Even the ones that didn't, you showed up for part of the game and that counts too.
Team needs all the support it can get; just happy to see that these guys never quit.

NU won, ND lost, Iowa lost, Phillies won, mebbe I’ll go to church today…Bonus point: ND had 10 men on the field when OSU scored…

Lesson to everyone not to give up on this team (because they haven't quit).
I don't blame anyone for leaving early; we had a thread created here at 8pm proclaiming this the beginning of the 2nd Dark Age of NU football.
Other than Braun and the players, hard to believe anyone thought that 4th quarter magic would happen given where the program is/was at that point.
After grilled Walleye (in Minnesota) at half time, I turned on the TV again for the second half, thinking maybe, just maybe. Dismal through much of the third quarter, but something happened after they scored. Going into the fourth, a win or at least a close game seemed a possibility. Very exciting finish! Reminded me of a night game against Michigan State 6 years ago or so that went into overtime(s). Difference then was the stadium was packed.
Cheered the team until the end, but in third quarter started watching other games on other people's phones.
I unfortunately did not go. Had HS reunion and did not know until it was over. Got a text from Therese's Iowa nephew saying Cardiac Cats back
Had tried to make sure my tickets (and parking ) were used but could not find takers
It was about the 3rd home game I have missed since beginning of 1995 (I missed Miami that year, another time for a wedding and this time for HS reunion) But when there I never leave
Hey I tried to give him to that Iowa nephew but he watched the IA game instead. Boy was he sorry
