Home field advantage?

Have you ever heard of the term homefield advantage? Being the die hard kentucky fan that i am, i know what it is like to have a winning atmosphere; especially at rupp arena. But where did it originate? Some might think it might be lambeau field where the green bay packers won super bowl 1 and 2. Or would it be at UCLA where John Wooden won his plethera of national championships?
 Actually home field advantage was created because of professional and collegiate sports betting. Back when sports gambling first planted its roots, analysts theorized that teams playing at home would have a better chance of winning a game because they would be more comfortable and therefore could score and defend slightly better than at either a nuetral or away site. The term 'home field advantage' later came to be coined because of baseball teams winning alot more at home during the playoffs.

UEAS. I'm Going To Disney World!

Have you ever wondered where the phrase "im going to disney world!" came from? Everyone knows after a big sporting event like the Super Bowl, the FBS title game, or the NCAA basketball championship, that the winner always says "I'm going to disney world!" It's expected from them. well the person who coined that phrase is.....
It's Not michael Jordan...
not Magic johnson...
but Phil Simms? whose that?
Phil simms was the Quarterback of the New York Giants during the late 1980's. He said this after his breakout performance during super bowl XXI. Little might you know this but Simms went to Morehead St in Kentucky! Also, he was from Lebanon Kentucky! (which is sorta close to Louisville) Chalk this up as another great contribution Kentucky has made.

Ueas: Super Bowl edition

last night was awesome wasn't it? two heavyweight teams duking it out in the final game of the national football league season. Although the Steelers lost to the packers 25-31, they had done something no other super bowl team has done before. The Steelers were down by 18 points and eventually came back to be down by 4 points. no other superbowl team had been down by that much and came back. Also, no team had ever comitted that many turnovers and lost by that little amount of points. Although i expected more from both teams, i still enjoyed the last game. I do hope that next years super bowl will involve a last minute game winning drive on the final seconds of the game. Now that would be awesome.
