Travel fatigue, hostile environment, home team advantage.

Intimidation of the refs
Very real in football. Especially at auburn. They replay plays over and over on their big screen to try and shame the refs. Plus the refs get caught up in the cult emotions of game.

Memorial Gym has a warehouse vibe to it, like when it’s not being used for hoops, I could see Amazon using it.

It's acoustics; small, packed in gyms are LOUD. At my alma mater high school for a triple OT game was one of the loudest and roudiest experiences I've had at any sporting event.

because the refs are not good enough to be not effected by the crowd. That simple

or is it affected?

I've only seen the striped lemmings be affected by the crowd at the Shorthorns game when trash was thrown on the field. Other than that, it seems the more the crown voices their displeasure, the worse the striped lemmings get with their calls (or no-calls).

It's 5:26 and sports officials are still stupid.

Auburn is the only progrum in the country that cant even get calls at home and when they do its probably only because the officials are too incompetent to understand what they saw.

Broome, once again, must have felt like he was Shaq last night. Dude was getting hacked like crazy and shot two whole free throws.

It's gotten beyond ridiculous the way he is officiated.

Home field advantage (fans, lack of tiredness from travel, you know the field/court & their good/rough spots, etc.).

How many athletes prefer road games over home?
As we’ve all seen the breakdown in team fan #’s at events.

Affect - What you do to others.

Effect - How other’s impact is on you.
