WE ARE RATED #2!!! (So keep calm and carry on)

[JM4CY]

Ha, they should see us when we lose to UNI. Because that is happening. Guaranteed.

Everyone realizes a 99 means they're claiming we as a fanbase don't panic right?

Hmmm ... so you are saying the rankings indicate that Bama, Georgia and Oklahoma fans are not the happiest? Don't think your interpretation is correct.

I think everyone just realized that you don't understand the chart.

 

[Walden4Prez]

There is nothing in ISU's athletic history that would make any fan think something bad could ever happen.

 

[MK24Cy]

You're welcome to your interpretation, but the higher the FHI, the happier the fan base, so the higher you are in the 4 categories to the right, the happier you are as a fan base, meaning a high panic rating would benefit your happiness score.

This is the definition from ESPN's website:

"We noticed that some programs' fans turn negative really quickly during close games, in a way that is not in line with their team's chances to win the game."

The lower number means more fans turn despite the win probability still being high for their team. Which makes sense for SEC team fans having a poor rating. Those fans are nuts. Alabama fans could be blowing a team out by 40 but freak out if one thing goes wrong.

I'm open to being wrong (tho I'd really hate that ) but it seems by your interpretation you would have to have a coach who was really on the "hot seat" to be happy? Right?

I think he's just pointing out people's interpretation of the Panic Factor is incorrect. A higher number means people's panic is inline with the win % probability.

Surely this can't be correct? We have been conditioned to panic at the slightest thing...

I'm not saying we don't panic but the panic is in-line with the shift in win probability when something happens. It's justified panic.

So does this mean I now can't post this?

 

[CloneGuy8]

How off the rails do Va Tech fans have to be?

 

[everyyard]

Did the factor in the previous 40 years of collective experience that led up to the current panic tendencies? No? Well, ok then.

 

[madguy30]

Geez that was already 12 years ago?

I was wondering the same thing .... making a mental note to check out their game posts sometime!
