No other team has one more than once and we've won 6 times? That's pretty serious domination. Well done Civil's*!

Looking at the list of past champions, does NDSU winning it have anything at all to do with the location? Look at where NDSU won it at (Purdue, Utah, etc), and look at when we didn't win where the location was at (Las Vegas, Florida, etc)

There are only like 20 examples. Probably not enough data to really judge location one way or another. Purude and utah are pretty far away. I don't see how it would make much difference, if its not in minneapolis or closer its an away game.

I don't know, I think it's obvious. When the location is in the middle of nowhere, our team has nothing to do but kick ass. When there's sun, sand, and/or hot babes around, our team has better things to do than some silly competition. (or they're too hungover to use their levels and calculators)


See, it makes perfect sense. :nod:

And how is the 1995 victory in Florida explained? :confused:
