Assuming you didn't hear the announcement on TV that a car accident on North Ave hit a transformer?

So you want to change the focus of this conversation to a single outage? Probably not a lot of takers. I'll bow out.

Pretty embarrassing for an engineering school. I was at both games where it happened.

TV Broadcast tried to blame it on a car crash that hit a transformer on north ave.

That is what the broadcast sideline announcer was trying to say.

Knocked out the lights in the residence halls also. According to TV.

Did they talk about backup generators kicking in? I’m just curious how that could be an excuse for a stadium. Maybe it took a second for them to kick in?

No, in fact as the sideline reporter was talking about why the lights were off (accident/transformer), the lights came back on. The TV crew never revisited the topic meaningfully after that.
I'm starting to wonder if the problem has something to do with the new flashing light system. Do we really need something like that? Georgia Southern even has flashing stadium lights. I guess the flashing lights are there to impress recruits. Money Down.

In before the “This wouldn’t have happened with Paul Johnson” comments start. Lol

CPJ would have chopped blocked that car into oblivion before it hit the transformer. Unfortunately, CGC's pro based spread offense doesn't know how to block runaway cars.

Sort of related, anyone know how to get a different stadium announcer? It sounds like the same guy that does the basketball games, and he always sounds like a cheesey WWE announcer or something. Hearing him say "iiiiiiiiiiiittt'ssss Moooooonnnneeeyyyyy Doooowwwwnn" (which is already not great) the exact same way every time is really annoying. I have no training whatsoever, but I would gladly volunteer to announce in the stadium for free haha

Frankly, the so-called light shows they have had leave a lot to be desired, regardless of the lights going out for whatever reason.
