Everyone can tell you where it isn't.
Nobody can tell you where it is.

Odd really.

Camp Randall is a pretty tough place to play
Wouldn't know from experience, LSU and Wisconsin had to play at 'neutral sites' and screw season ticket holders.

Home win%'s are skewed because all the cupcakes get played there while the tougher games are often times played 50% away or neutral/bowl sites.
I forgot, Bama doesn't play home & away OOC series.

Wouldn't the cost of the season tickets just go up?

Well, Alabama came to Norman in one of the best games I can remember.
So, I can't really rag on them about it.

What Bama does now is just smart football sense.
They are past having to prove anything to anybody.

I've only had one major meltdown, thank you very much.
You kind of had a meltdown after the dropped punt talking about how it should have been offsides because the guy was 4 inches too close and how they hit the center and should have been a penalty even though he was blocked into the center. Then there was the Ohio State game last year.

The MSU thing was just me pissed off, that happens after every loss. OSU last year was my drunken meltdown.

Since WWII
Oklahoma in Norman
84% Winning Percentage at Home
Winning Percentage 1946-2016

That's nothing to sneeze at.
Has to be the toughest place for an opponent.

When ND beat them in Norman in 2012 they had flashed a stat that it was only the 4th home loss in over a decade. I was impressed.

Same shit at Notre Dame
I look at old youtube clips from the Hoktz years, and ND stadium was so loud they drew penalties.

I remember Bo crying to the refs during a Michigan visit. They kept taking timeouts and they eventually flagged us for being too loud. It only made the crowd cheer that much harder.

I don't know if those days will ever return.

Yeah, Bob has more BigXII Titles than he has home field loses.
