BP'ers get all nerdy about weather (split from Poll thread)

i know it’s not a lot, but we’ve made 3 late november trips to Notre Dame
early 70s, mid 80s, late 90s

Yeah, that kind of complaint would be saved for UF who goes multiple generations without scheduling games far from home.

p.s. You managed 15 pts in 3 games and didn't crack double digits once. Eesh.

I was actually at the game in Suth Bend on Nov. 21, 1970, watching #4 ND down #6 LSU and Tommy Casanova 3-0. That's why the last letter was used in the town's name, they had a 'D' that year. Don't remember how cold it was.

if it makes you feel better, we only scored 6 at home against them in 97.

No, lil BKB stayed home.

It is a major disadvantage for a person who's body is acclimated for the north to try to have to all of a sudden play at a high level in the heat and humidity that your opponent is used to.

That is so obvious and easily understood that I know you are willfully trying to obfuscate the entire argument.

As you said, it has been concisely stated; why should southern schools enjoy a permanent home field advantage?

Other than being a fan of a southern school, and by extension then a fan of all southern schools, I think you don't really have a good reason.

I'm going more for the angle of how you build a team. You aren't going to build a 90s Fun and Gun team in the B1G. You'll win a bunch of games early and then put up a stinker when you have to play in the rain on halloween at night at Penn St. So now you've built your team to be able to win in the B1G......and you have to face a team from the south in the south for a title.
