I'd be willing to bet LSU's homefield advantage is worth more then anyone's. You would be wrong

Of course! Miles' 46-3 record on Saturday nights has nothing to do with the stadium crowd noise.


The point being made is, what does the data actually show? Some of us really don't care about 46-3, which includes a bunch of weak OOC games . We care about the record as it affects us. You can talk about crowd noise...which is very subjective...but when you have an all-time home winning percentage of only 27% against one of your biggest rivals, exactly how has that alleged home field advantage been manifest? Where has this so-called advantage actually helped you win games?

Careful with that one. It wasn't very long ago when we had a winning percentage of 0% against Auburn in Bryant-Denny. Of course the counter is, that since Saban arrived and we're now 2-1( ) in BDS.

home-field advantage has little to do with wins and losses. if lsu loses to a team by 3 that is a good 3 touchdowns better than them thats a huge home field advantage. yet we still lost.

Awful argument you just made.
