The game Saturday is going to be played under near record heat conditions. Record high for 10/29 is 86. Current NWS forecast is for a high of 87. I just looked at the latest runs of 4 models and they are all trending pretty close. Here are what a few models are showing the temp to be in Starkville at 1:00pm:

Nam4Km: 84
Nam: 85
GGEM: 86
GFS: 85

The one saving grace is humidity levels are forecast to be around 35% so it will not be a muggy day. Those same models had the humidity ranging from 32%-40% at 1:00pm.

But as much as it sucks to say this, if you're going to the game, wear sunscreen and stay hydrated. Going to feel more like a late September game than a late October game.

This will be my first game to get to attend this season so even with the way the season is going, still looking forward to being there. If tickets stay cheap on stubhub and similar, I think I may try to get my son to the Arkansas game. Maybe by then it will no longer feel like summer.
