By laws were 75%, so yeah, that sounds right.

Heads up Madison! Hundreds of Winnebagos are about to descend on your town and save your economy!

Better have your RV dump tanks ready for a crowd, or Madison is going to get real messy.  Nebraska messy.

the local news stations are trying to one up each other by proclaiming the largest estimated figure of NU fans in attendance at the game.  the ABC affiliate was in the lead as of 5:45 this morning at 35k. 

Since they both wear the same colors, who can tell?

The Wisconsin folks are nice, and the Nebraska fans that travel are a bunch of science experiments gone horribly wrong.

Best time to check is between 3rd and 4th quarters; count the number of people jumping around vs the ones picking their butts.

The science behind this would definitely draw on statistical sampling skills.  Are there any other Nubb identifiers that could be used to simplify this task?

NU has called for a blackout for this very reason.  Was a big to-do for their fans as most did not like the idea of not wearing red on gameday.

Where did you get that, and where is that fan estimate from?

If someone says that POS NY Times blog article, I'm going to riot.

It's handy and all, but that NY Times article was absolute garbage.  So, thank you for posting, but I'm wary of anything that references that.

Fan estimate: This is a rather ingenious attempt to estimate the number of fans for each BCS program by Nate Silver of The New York times by using Google research data, TV markets, census numbers and revenue information from the schools. You can read the entire report with estimates for all BCS schools here, and I decided to go with this number as an attempt to assign a value of popularity that goes deeper than TV market.

That chart is stupid as hell

[steve dave]

I BET THAT STUPID ASS CHINGON MAKE THAT STUPID ASS CHART!

The most useful thing was his link to Academic R&D Spending.
K-State at 112th of all colleges and universities; 76th of all public institutions. Also, Baylor is apparently sandbagging in the R&D department.

179k TV households?  

There are 940k TV households in KC alone. Alone. So whoever came up with this table is suggesting that KSU TV households make up the equivalent of 19% of KC, and zero anywhere else, but the KU estimate is 5.5x as many households, or the equivalent of 103% of the KC market and nowhere else. Someone who knows more about how this is estimated pls explain. TIA
