Quantifying The Penn State Whiteout

WHITEOUT STATS VIDEO


See Link. Interesting watch that puts the Whiteout under the magnifying glass and calculates the ways in which the Whiteout gives Penn State an advantage (penalties, opponent penalties, defensive performance) compared to other home games. Here's the full article that dives a little deeper into the analytics: https://fortheblogy.com/analytics-b...penn-state-football-quantifying-the-whiteout/

All it proves is the refs are more intimidated than the opponent.

Wearing all white doesn’t make a crowd louder.

Voodoo statistics to fit a predetermined result.

Gophers ought to warm up in white. Not sure what that would do. Maybe a few laughs.

Doing all white uniforms for that game is EXACTLY the type of stunt PJ would pull, and I love the idea. Now I hope we do it. #FullSnowmanForTheWhiteout2022

I'm not sure I follow. I saw a few people (Gopher fans) on Twitter saying they'd wear white as well. Yes the WO us cool but I'll be there in bright gold to stand out. Serious question, do other opposing team/fans do white for this game?

I think I saw Michigan do all white before at the white out.

I was saying Fleck would do it as a way to turn it on it's head. Try to get into the minds of the Penn State players. Kinda like wearing black uniforms last year against OSU since the last 2 times prior they played a B1G West team at night who wore black they lost.

I expect fans to where whatever they want. Just thought it would be fun if Fleck tried to embrace the whiteout and negate any advantage it supposedly gives,

Without trying, or even apparently noticing, the writer disproved his own argument. Dumb story.

Gold body paint and a Metallic banana hammock. Oh sorry that was Venice Beach 06'

True story. Prior to the 06' Cal game, we (wife and me) flew into LAX and drove up the coast. Prior to leaving we visited the Santa Monica Pier/ Venice Beach area. A guy on roller blades wore that same outfit. Gopher fan?
