Without a baseline, not to mention temps, you're not really refuting anything.
Obviously the talent and coaching matters more than ambient temperature. No one has claimed otherwise.

-My original post that you were replying to was cold weather games, not November games
-It still affected the other team in a negative way, which was the point of my original statement
-At least we are acclimated to it from practicing in it.
The southern teams coming north to play in cold weather is such an over stated topic. Its provides little to no advantage, especially when we have players on our team are from Florida, Texas and California.
And without any facts to back anything up there's no proof of a "when its cold in Ames Iowa State wins a higher percentage of its home games."
When we play teams who finish around us in the conference standings, we tend to compete.
When we play teams who finish above us in the conference standings, we tend to lose.
There are upsets sprinkled in there (most notably 2011 OSU), but there's nothing to suggest we're magically some better team just because the weather cools off.
The number of variables and the limited number of data points make it basically impossible for any correlation to be made.
Hell a couple people ahead of us managed to sneak in a giant bottle of fireball. Then made no attempts to hide it as multiple folks took hits off of it.

average big 12 home field advantage is 19.6%. KU has the greatest home field advantage (!)
Good news! It's nice to have a few fireball minis to stay warmHell a couple people ahead of us managed to sneak in a giant bottle of fireball. Then made no attempts to hide it as multiple folks took hits off of it.
Planning on going to game. Prices on the secondary market are a little higher than usual so checked Ticketmaster to see how many tickets were left. There are a ton of unsold tickets even in the lowers.I will be really surprised if the game sells out.
ISU volleyball is scheduled to play against Kansas at Hilton at 7:30pm.
Tailgate, football game, post-tailgate, volleyball. That is a nice day.

Win this weekend vs. Tech... that will help.
Good weather, could too.
But dang, there's probably about 10000 seats for sale right now. Whole sections in the upper deck are for sale. I don't see a sellout either barring a huge miracle.
Is it possible that a lot of tickets have been sold as part of mobile packs, but they don't make the seat assignments until game day, so they can keep listing available seats for sale now, even if a few thousand will eventually be assigned to purchasers of the mobile packs?
No, those seats are already allocated, just not assigned to individuals yet, so they don't show up as available on the seat maps. There are about 10000 unsold seats at this point.
You do understand we had ****** teams in most of those?
You think we practice outdoors with the $20mil indoor practice facility we have?
I'd be willing to bet the change in my pocket that's exactly opposite. The facility was made for when cold/bad weather comes around.
I would have passed it up if you asked!Hell a couple people ahead of us managed to sneak in a giant bottle of fireball. Then made no attempts to hide it as multiple folks took hits off of it.
