Big Ten Network Poll: Who has the best home-field advantage?
If you're a member of Big Ten Network SuperFans, feel free to go over there and stuff the ballot box.
We all know who #1 is. :)
Do you really think we are that jaded sir?
because yes we are.
Anyone choosing Michigan may need to step back and re-evaluate. Our stadium was the quietest 110,000 for years, and when it finally gets to the point that it should be loud, we've been (to phrase this as lightly as possible) near the definition of suck.
Maybe in another year or two, it could be justified.
Just sayin'.
Noise should not be the only determining factor here.
When you walk into the Big House, you are in the largest football stadium in the world. You are surrounded in the stuff of sporting legend. You are about to play the winningest football program in history. You have 110,000 fans either glaring or screaming down at you, depending on whether you're near the student or alumni section. :P
Their Big House *is* more raucous than ours...
Yes you are, but look who has beat us in our own house the last three years: App St., Toledo, Northwestern, MSU, Illinois, Purdue and many other much better teams.
As of right now, we need a louder stadium and more intimidating atmosphere people!
Sad to say but its either Ohio State or Penn State.
Talk to the hand. 
Braybray you really seem to enjoy posting pictures in threads. Just an observation.
Why is this guy getting negged? Take off the goggles people.
and they make the world awesome.
They're old school 3-D glasses?
Desperately trying to win BTN bobblehead and superfan voting competitions? And this is only two years into our football hell. These are the scraps we used to leave for the Iowa and Illinois fans. Oh, the shame of it all.
OK, now please excuse me so I can go vote.
Well...there's really nothing else to do during the summer.
That first time they did the white out against OSU was just spooky. I was 400 miles away and still felt intimidated.
EDIT: Now if the poll was best stadium, have to go with Michigan Stadium. Maybe (hopefully) the new boxes will get them to the top of both lists.
Oh how our standards have lowered so much these past years. How many more days until Uconn?
It's Penn State. I could not imagine the students at this University camping outside of the stadium for hours in order to nab the best seats possible. I still distinctly remember the first half of the Utah game nearly two years ago, when every sorostitute and drunk moron decided that they'd had enough by the end of the first half and jetted.
Those who stayed....well, got to see a sweet second half.
And the AD thought so much of the students at PSU to move the student section to a different part of the stadium this year...
Sure you mean Utah? I was there till the end, and it really wasn't that sweet.
I think he might mean Wisconsin. THAT is the best game of football I have ever been at.
I never got to see the Wisconsin game, unfourtunately :(
all makes moar noize than us.
It's got to be PSU. Their whiteouts are intimidating on TV. I can't imagine what it'd be like playing there.
As of right now OSU. That horseshit is loud and crazy.
Seems like this would be easy enough to calculate. For each big ten school, calculate the difference between their home winning percentage versus their total winning percentage. Expressed as a ratio or a straight value, I don't know. Maybe do it only for conference games, to discard the data from the baby seals that come to the big ten stadiums, recieve their spanking, and collect their paycheck.
Where is the Mathlete? We must light the Mathsignal!
So, I've run Michigan's numbers.
Over the last ten years, conference games only:
Overall: 59-21 (73.75%)
At Home: 32-8 (80%)
Fun facts:
only once in the last 10 years, in 2005, did we do better in the conference on the road (3-1) than we did at home (2-2).
In half of the last ten years, our record in the conference was the same at home as on the road.
We have lost 8 big ten home games in the past 10 years. 6 of those losses occured in the last two years.
On November 4, 2000, when we lost to Northwestern 54-51, I punched the concrete wall in my Markley Hall so hard that the knuckles on my right hand were deformed for a year afterwards.
