I mean look at him, he looks depressed as shit.  He knows better days of being whipped playfully through the air are behind him. His future consists of being a communal cum rag for a frat house and will be thrown away as soon as brother frat-tastic finds out his personal assistant has been whored around for the last two semesters. Let’s remember the better times. [...] [...] I could really care less about Prince, but I do care about that poor son-a-bitch pictured above.

Furthermore, the fans positive helps in setting momentum and tempo. I don't expect you to understand because at KSU you are trying to force a big time college football atmosphere and have never experienced it first hand.

If the crowd makes such a difference VT would have won by 50 points. But they didn't. The "home field advantage" is ALL because of the team, not the fans, which gets back to the original point...it doesn't really matter if people think that a really drunk student section changes games because it doesn't. IMO it just shows a lack of support if you have to get piss ass drunk to watch a ball game. The game enough should be all the enjoyment in the world. If having a piss ass drunk student section equals a great student section then I am sure K-State had the best in the country before the 90s when they were the worst football program ever and a football game was more than just a reason to get drunk--but to forget about the actual game. They had nothing else to do back then for them except get destroyed at ball games. **Good points Mikey That is the point…The crowd has nothing to do with it when it comes down to wins and losses.

Alot of short passes underneath Auburn's coverage. They never really took it to Auburn and put them on the spot. I didnt see them take a big shot down field until the end when they had thrown that INT. I know that K St didnt rush the ball very often, but that had probably more to due with the fact they could not generate a solid rushing attack. Maybe you could cite the QB for not looking further down field, but its a coaches responsibility to tell him, "Hey, hit so and so when he passes the 30." Or to call different plays that force Auburn to commit a penalty down field to not give up a big catch. I will say this however, the 16 penalties for 141 yards and 3 turnovers dont help out a coach's gameplan. But those are the intangibles a coach has to be prepared for. It seemed, at least to me, that towards the end, they were just trying to hang on. I would have rather seen them pull out all the stops like Boise State did against Oklahoma. Thats what I meant when I said play not to lose. I was talking more about the 4th quarter. Alot of short passes underneath Auburn’s coverage.

That is the difference between elite home field and ordinary BCS conference home field. Also we did beat ECU right... Unless you are taking into account margin of victory into the formula?

However I am not sure the head coach played to not lose. KSU threw the ball over 55 times and ran it under 10 times, with nearly no carries in the second half. The only TD for KSU was a TD pass from a WR. cgb---The point of posting the records is to prove that there might not be as big of a home field advantage as people think. Case in point--If the crowd is such a big deal and the emotion coming from them is that great, why did VT only beat ECU by 10 points in a game with SO much meaning to it? The only way to really measure a "home field advantage" is to go off a win/loss record. And even then that can be a little skewed...unless Papa John's Stadium is really THAT tough to play at.
