The problem with using the tailgate tent's list to determine HFA, like some on twitter think you should do, is that for the most part, using point spread doesn't favor the best teams very well. K-State is on that list because we are chronically underrated by Vegas, but schools like Georgia, Alabama, LSU, Ohio State, and USC are always heavy favorites at home, and frankly they play a lot of schools that are significantly worse. It's tough to have a better result for +/- spread when K-State is always a single digit favorite, no matter who when we play, when those other teams are frequently a four touchdown favorite.

The list factors in performance vs spread at home vs away, though. It's not looking at how much we are beating the spread so much as how our performance vs the spread in home games compares to road games. So that would account for at most of that. I think it's possible that some coaches aren't good at preparing teams for road games and that probably affects the list to some degree.

Sure but outperforming the spread home vs away shows which teams Vegas misevaluates, not necessarily home-field advantage.  The most obvious home-field advantages, Vegas is going to account for more accurately.  It is relevant information, to be sure, but still incomplete information.

I mostly think the goal is to sell video games, not necessarily accuracy. They're going to give a lot of the bigger fanbases better advantages because it's good for business.

Well, I don't think that Vegas is overvaluing Texas A&M so much that they should be no. 1 despite barely finishing above .500 at home in conference play most years.

I'm sure from the field you can see the fake army section and yell leaders grabbing their balls

This was one of Mike Leach's best disses. (RIP, Coach)

Yeah, shut the eff up MakeItRain.

I just know that I'll be pissed off if we ever schedule a road game at Western Kentucky.

I know they're putting a lot of money in that corridor but I don't know what business the hotel expects to attract.  6 football sell out weekends and a bump in occupancy on weekend basketball games isn't enough to carry a hotel.  The Foundation and K-State could put people there but they'd be further from most of the campus and restaurants.

NBAF right there too

True. I have no idea what kind of business travels in for that

holy crap. 

but i tend to agree with people who are saying that a) being on the cw, which is a nationwide network without paywall, shouldn’t be viewed as a bad thing, and b) if anyone wanted to watch tcu, they’d be on a different outlet

Tweeting this just to get absolutely skull mumped on the CW is something.

Simulating use of a weapon is a specific unsportsmanlike penalty and point of emphasis. LSU being in that video so many times is crazy, they might have a culture issue. Jayce Brown did it in the pop tarts bowl, and that's the only time I've seen a K-State player do it, it wasn't a point of emphasis last year.

[WildcatNkilt]

A coach doing it is odd.

are texas tech and oSu players exempt from this rule?

I saw the preview on Tapatalk and thought it was maybe a new way of describing the penis slam home run celebration

A pistol pete/raider red/Yosemite Sam celebration would be funny as hell

Someone should bring back the Chi Chi Rodriguez
