I was at the Alcorn game and sat upper deck east side. Made the whole game easily. Today was different. Not sure how. I know there was zero breeze. Think it was more humid too. The second half was much much better with the cloud cover.

I wouldn't say t if I didn't experience it. I sit about row 15 on the east side. Right there in it the whole time. Alcorn last year was so much worse. Just kept a water in hand and was fine. 2nd half was actually nice because it cleared out and was cloudy.Quote:

The cloud cover made a world of difference. At half time I had to go dunk my head in a sink in the bathroom and chill out in the breezeway. The second half was much easier on my body...and mind.Quote:

Today's high during game…. 95.4 degrees.
Alcorn was sunny the ENTIRE time though.
High heat index for Memphis on September 2, 2000 was…… 103.0. Did not drop below 100 all game long. That grew hair on your balls, today was nothing.

Don't get your line of thought. Okay, today wasn't the hottest ever. It was still hot. Same as this: mississippi state has played worse than today. We played like shit today
What's with the pissing contest of being at the hottest game?? It was hot, relative to an average day in life.
Nope absolutely wrong. Just saying that it wasn't hot at all to me sitting there compared to what I deal with everyday at work. I know I am aclimated to a different kind of hot than most people, but damn some of y'all need to grow a set. I can agree with everyone on the elderly and the young, but grown ass men shouldn't be complaining about how hot it was sitting in a seat and basically doing nothing.Quote:

Look, I'm not making excuses for the students, that's for damn sure. You're absolutely right about last year.Quote:

Blazing Saddles reference = +1
I was at that game. I think one big difference in today and alcorn last year was tv. People had to stay in the heat longer today due to the game being on tv.Quote:

The 2nd half of the game was MUCH better, and it was fine watching the game with the consistent cloud cover. The first half was absolutely miserable, and the sun was just beating down on you. Most of the people around us (East Side) ended up leaving before or at halftime.
And maybe because it was so hot, it felt like that first half took FOREVER.
The first half of that game was as hot as I have ever been at a sporting event .
No shit, lol.Quote:
