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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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