I keep hearing about the heat at A&M games and I know its hot, but I guess I always assumed it was just as hot in SEC. But usually I went to night games or games later in the season.

Is the heat at A&M worse?

Not than any other school in the SEC IMO.

It's definitely a more serious issue than the HUNH offense.

The Bama defense is going to be hyperventilating on the sideline after chasing JFF around in that hot Texas sun.

In aug/sept its probably hotter than most but I don't think it will be that big of a difference maker.

It's going to be hotter in CS this year than anywhere. Most of the south has had a pretty average to mild summer. Houston and the surrounding areas have been insanely hot all summer.

Lebron James might give your linebacker some problems if he lines up at tight end.

Most of the SEC venues are all about the same with heat and humidity outside of maybe 2 or 3

Yes. Factor that in with the up tempo offense. No fake cramping will be needed.

I was in Dallas TX the last week of June and it was hotter than a motherfricker. Sure, the humidity was a little lower than what I'm used to in Georgia, but it was still hot as a motherfricker. Just because your sweat evaporates faster in the drier air and cools your body more effectively, doesn't mean it isn't hot as frick, and that you can't go down with cramps within 15 minutes.

As long as we can limit Lebron, no.

The heat in San Antonio is bad in August and September. Worse than Mississippi which is as bad as I have seen it anywhere except for a few days in Memphis

I could see where it MIGHT be a SLIGHT factor for the more northern teams (Mizzou, TN), but, for teams like LSU, BAMA, FLA, etc, I'm pretty sure it's a wash.

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be difficult for one of you fricking nerds to compare historical shite.

I still remember the LSU-Appalachian State game that started at 10 Am. on a hot August day(moved up because of Hurricane Gustav)


I think some people had to be escorted out for heat related issues, and everyone got free water..Must have been 96 with 80% humidity and not a cloud in the sky

I don't think it affects SEC players much, but it is clearly the reason the Big Ten has not won a national title since 2002. You know...the scorching heat from 7-11 PM in places like Pasadena and an indoor dome in New Orleans.

might have been an issue if they joined the big 10. I doubt many SEC teams will be impressed though.

I must be getting older because the heat has been killing me lately.

I start sweating just taking the damn trash out.
