Home Game, Advantage or Distraction

[edge]

The team has played 5 straight road games and haven’t played at home in 2 months. Then half the team has been sick. Pretty sure they would much rather deal with distractions then to travel again.

Vegas usually gives about 3 point advantage to being at home vs a neutral field. Lots of people go broke thinking they are nuts.

This game may have equal attendance so not a true home game. That said we won 5 straight on the road. Gonna be real comfortable to get back home. Not sure if that is good or not.

We should put up banners welcoming Hoosier/Duck fans to the blue lot.

Indiana and I got us by more than two field goals. But yeah get the banners started.

Advantage

 

[U got This]

Hve to stay focus.

This is the best time to get caught up and get caught lackin. UM home and comfy......

This ain't Ole miss coaching situation or lacy injury situation.

We going against a fully loaded team whether its Oregon or Indiana thats going to be in our crib.... Stay the F**k focus !!!!! LOCK IN!!!!!

 

[Distructobot3000]

Huge advantage. Sleep in your own bed, practice at your own facility, travel time not cutting into/disrupting game prep or our guys rehabilitating from injuries. Our guys are already acclimated to any “distractions” the area itself presents. I can’t think of any disadvantages to be honest

This all started with banners over the CFP meetings. Never underestimate the power of a Miami banner.

We are the away team so will be wearing stromtroopers again most likely

 

[yeyo]

Not having to travel makes it a huge advantage. Though.. I wonder if we still get the per diem travel money.

One thing I'm watching is if Oregon/Indiana makes us wear our away uniforms on our home field. Since they're both higher seeds I'm pretty sure they get to make that call.

Stoomtroopers at the crib?

Sign me the **** up

 

[Tinman64]

Indiana gonna try and buy up everything

They will. Home team is determined by seeding. When JMU and Tulane lost, Miami was wearing white for the rest of the playoff.

According to the seating map for the game, Miami's sideline will be on the visitors side (north side). Osborne let the Canes keep the home sideline back in the day, but others did not.

Lol, seriously. Advantage!!

 

[AmherstCane]

Which is better, to be rich or poor?

 

[Yoyo423]

All I know is we better be willing to pay a premium for tickets if we don't want to be outnumbered by Indiana fans in our own stadium.

I'm trying to come from Maryland with 6 people.

 

[TerragonSix]

We need someone to chuck a beer bottle at the Hoosiers bus when they arrive

 

[kryptonite]

Miami plays in Miami. There are always distractions. It will be an advantage as I think the stadium will be at least 75% UM fans, and the other 25% will be too scared of catching a beating in the blue lot if they get out of line.

 

[Fart Keyhole]

We need @Cover 3 to fight all 50k IU fans that gobble up the tickets on Stubhub. We'll fill those empty seats by sneaking dudes through the AC vent.

 

[mosthated305]

Lets add that our guys who will have hear how great Indiana is for the next 10 days. Us against the world! Line that **** up!

Gotta welcome them the Miami way.

Man, I feel like we've already won, but I know we have a really serious game coming. I think Mario is gonna have to be really-extra-super diligent to keep the noise out now. What do you think? Is this an advantage or a disadvantage?

Advantage you get to be in a somewhat normal routine.
