/C has turned us into pussies that cant handle the heat anymore and it is sad.
I missed Saturday's game because we were cutting the last of our corn and getting out of the fields on Saturday.
I got so dehydrated that I've been passing stones since Saturday. Sometimes the temps are just more than the human body is built to take. People who live in these climates don't work during the hottest parts of the day, that's how they survive.

Thing is...for years this wasn't really a situation in early September before the ALL GAMES MUST BE TELEVISED era.
So for 30 something years, the SEC had an 11:30 TV (JP) game and a 2:30 TV (CBS) game. If any other games were going to be on TV (ESPN) it was usually going to be at night. In Auburn, if it wasn't on TV and it was September, it was going to be a 6PM kickoff. I think it was that way everywhere in the southeast. They have now moved 60% of these games to the middle of the day in 100 degree weather. Once a player dies from heatstroke or a few lawsuits creep in they will probably start to rethink things. By the way, I was in Auburn Saturday night, and even at night it was no walk in the park, but I could not imagine having sat for 4 hours in that heat Saturday afternoon.
