The Griz are 12-3 against "warm weather teams" at home in the playoffs (80%)
3 of the 7 all time home playoff losses have come to "warm weather teams"
Hmmm, doesn't quite fit the narrative, does it?
Is the narrative that it's impossible for warm weather teams to win here? Don't think I've ever seen anyone claim that here.
Did you read the idiotic article that is being referenced, titled “The Weather Factor”?
It assets that “warm weather teams” are at some major disadvantage here, and haven’t performed well, when in FACT they have the exact same record here as any other team in the playoffs. Many other posters have jumped to the same conclusion, and I’m simply pointing out that is factually incorrect.
Fair enough?
Do you think true warm weather teams are not at a disadvantage at UM in the cold/bad weather?
Do you think UM would have beaten App St in good weather in that 3d round playoff game? I don't.
Both Montana and Appalachian State were impacted in that game. However, ASU is located in the mountains and can receive weather much like what blew in that day. Just a fact, the Grizzlies were beating the Mountaineers that day regardless of the forecast. They had the talent and motivation to make it happen. :twocents:
