I second this. I asked Biddle about this and he said it himself. Biddle and the coaching staff treated it like they were going south for a bowl game. The reality of Colgate Football is that the players like to play on the road. If you ever get a chance to speak with any of them, they will tell you that. Other than being accustomed to the weather, I don't think the players see the Kerr Dome as a big advantage.
