[Festus]

The few, the loud, the Bulldogs

In its 54 home games against FBS opponents since 2005, Louisiana Tech has performed 3.6 points per game better than expected -- making the Bulldogs the biggest overachievers at home in the nation.

And it's interesting to see which team (and which conference) is dead last in home-field advantage!

[LATECH87]

1. Louisiana Tech
72. LSU
120. ULL ( dead last lol )

Funny that they didn't include the University of Louisiana on this list. I see ULL squeaked in at 120 though. Good for them.

Interesting....but it only focuses more light on the home WTF games during that time period.


Actually, since this is a function of performance vs. expectation, it follows that the Dawgs do not get enough respect from the odds' makers. Tech is made a 6 pt favorite for some home game, but wins by 14. Oh wow! that's a +8 on the PAE scale.

The more important stat is 35-19. We have suffered 19 losses at home, out of 54 games!? That ain't very good.

Sorry to be a Negative Nancy and rain on the parade....

For several years I have supplemented by entertainment fund because of the oddsmakers' point spread; I guess that may be changing soon.

We are the #26 outperformer here: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features...nd-vice-versa/

[Dogsince65]

lets focus on conference USA--- S Miss has significant advantage w/loss Marshall 3-3 and Old Dominion 0-1 ( I was at the game) everyone else we have significant won/loss record. So we tend to win at home and win on road last few years --That Great. Like most BBB I want to not just win division but win the Championship . I give credit to coaching staff and players for being self motivated -- so often I am disappointed with our turnout and frustrated when so many bail at halftime ... I gotta believe the new attitude around Tech Football -Upgraded facilities will move home field advantage up --

Sorry folks. I'm too tired

Well, they have to attract the Walmart fans somehow; I take it as a positive because without that pic, they wouldn't care to find out that Tech is #1
