You know, this is actually one of my pet peeves. People take the time to go to Sagarin and get numbers, and then they totally ignore the 25 places where it gives the home field advantage number. It's not 3. It's almost never 3. It changes from week to week. This year, it's been steadily dropping. Right now, it's 2.37. Next year, it might rise and be 3.67 or something. Please, if you're going to use Sagarin, just grab the current home advantage. It's no more than six lines from any team's rating.

This is not directed solely at westnodak. I've seen this from at least a dozen posters. BTW, I do the calculation in every one of my updates. Find the team, then look at the second column of numbers. It's always there and it includes the current home field advantage. The current PREDICTOR prediction is Bison by 16.29(this is the one I use). The current RATING prediction is Bison by 14.61. The current ELO_CHESS prediction(worthless) is Bison by 12.93.

Yo, Hammer. Last time I checked a team can't score 2.69 points, or what ever. What? U learned nothing from the afternoon I forced u to spend with me at Gastro?!

Good God Man!!!!??? My time is valuable and in tight demand!!

No.


Okay, yes it is. But you've always got to reply to that type of question with a no. It sounds cooler.

It's like Hammer completely ignored your post. Hmmm, prolly what he tried to do at teh Gastro as well. You must have had him cornered there.

I, for one, would love to hear stories about your afternoon at teh Gastro. Could you start at about 3:30 p.m., with USD up 37-17?

WTF is a BIIIAAAAAATH? Is someone holding your tongue as you're trying to talk? Wait. Don't anssssstthhwer that one... perhaps the six year old spelling smackdown had already occurred by then.
