That makes two of us. How effective is that ban btw?

What makes BYU's schedule challenging next year isn't just the opponents, but

We're not playing @LSU. And playing @E Carolina isn't scary. The Mississippi State game is our only

LSU in Houston is "neutral?" LOL.

chilango

While I don't think Houston is neutral, it's definitely better than Death Valley

Slightly, but I'm not sure you'll be able to tell much difference on game day.

chilango

3/26/17 9:57pm

I think more than slightly. There is something pyschologically unnerving about

RebelScum

3/26/17 9:59pm

Yep. It's completely different than playing at Reliant Stadium. Completely different.

The Dude Abides

Yes, they can actually sell alcohol at NRG. And the dome magnifies crowd noise.

chilango

3/26/17 10:12pm

Is it in Baton Rouge? No. So its a neutral site? Will they have the advantage with

The Dude Abides

Instead we'll play it in front of 65K LSU fans who can buy alcohol in NRG,

I said no need to sweat it? At Reliant, I think we lose by 20. At LSU, by 40.

The Dude Abides

3/26/17 10:13pm

And if we played at a true neutral site? Say, LA or Denver?

chilango

3/26/17 10:26pm

We could play it in Provo and I think we lose by two touchdowns at least. You're making way

The Dude Abides

3/26/17 10:32pm

I think you're discounting the number of BYU fans going to the game

Harrison0Yfan

Sure, it'll be bigger, but our 5-10k (max) will be drowned out by 60-65k rabid

chilango

3/26/17 10:23pm

Of course it's a road game, just not the same as playing in LSU's stadium

Harrison0Yfan

3/26/17 10:28pm

This subthread started because the Dude Abides says it's not a road game. I'm

chilango

3/26/17 10:30pm

It's not a true road game. That's all I'm saying. A true road game is played at the opponents stadium. This isn't.

The Dude Abides

3/26/17 10:39pm

I think a lot of this argument is about semantics

Harrison0Yfan

3/26/17 11:00pm

Exactly. And for purposes of SOS measurement, this should be considered a road

chilango

3/26/17 11:01pm

We had 12-15k at the Houston game a few years ago. Guarantee we'll be 15k+

I hope you're right. My comparison is Phoenix, where we had about 20K last year.

Have you ever been to an SEC game? Do you have any idea just how lit those

I have a degree from an SEC school so Yes, I know quite a bit about SEC fans and

Diablo and Doc

3/27/17 10:03am

Much more effective than not having a ban, as anyone who has attended an SEC

chilango

Will the LSU players and coaches be sleeping in their own beds?

Diablo and Doc

3/27/17 9:35am

LOL. The strongest component of home field advantage is the refs, and crowd

chilango

Nope, a home game would be in Baton Rouge at Tiger Stadium. If making excuses

Regarding ECU, they've won 2 of the last 3 vs Virginia Tech, the last 2 vs North

You do realize that LSU wins the Houston TV market?

LSU by itself doesn't, but the SEC has since TAMU left the Big XII
