We are talking about an average of one or two degrees difference. I'd say that a team practicing with a heat index of 110 but with a QB that isn't hungover is probably more prepared than a hungover QB that's been able to get used to a heat index of 115.

I agree JFF playing shape could be questioned by some and I have no knowledge of his playing shape. My guess is he will be in shape.

Yeh, that's my point. It's hot everywhere down here. It's a legitimate OP question, but a bigger one is if JFF is going to stroke out.

Im not drunk. I post at night alot. Yall think Im drunk because my posts are so brilliant and you are so high you can't tell the difference in a football discussion and a thread on JFFs brand underwear.

So what score do yall see and how do you see game unfold?

Nick Saban absolutely destroys the football team during 2-a-days in the fall camp. They'll be fine..

If it's the JFF we saw at the end of 2012 it'll be a great game. Both teams in mid 20's score maybe. But seeing the JFF of last half of 2012 just seems iffy right now.

I think a lot of us are simply sick of thinking and talking about it at this point. The offseason has been all JFF/TAMU all the time and the overexposure is wearing on a lot of us.

By "us," I mean those of us who don't compulsively start JFF threads, of course. Yeah, a lot of people have been doing it, but AM fans don't have to bite every hook they see.

At this point, I'm just looking forward to the game being over.

well sorry bro. This thread is about the football game and I think there havn't been many threads on this. Maybe some attempts but they end up ike 90% of the others. shite talk fest.

I like to talk about the game.

We will learn a lot about both offensive lines.

Not worried about A&M's O line, tbh.

Bama's got some question marks, though. And the Aggie D line is suspect until proven otherwise.

The point is that all the other bullshite has ruined the (leadup to the) game for many of us. Sure, we'll get pumped when gameday arrives, but until then, it's like the overhyped fricking 'Bama/LSU games. By the time a week before the game rolls around, you just want it to be fricking over.

Thought A&M lost as much as Bama did on that front? The left side of Bama's line should be fine, it's that right side and interior that is the question mark.

Not worried because JFF's playing style could make even an average oline look like all-americans. I think the pieces A&M is bringing in are more than up to the task, though.

I just don't think it'll be as big an issue as some believe.

A&M lost our LT but our RT stayed and moved to LT. He will be a top 5 pick likely. Our Right tackle may be a first rounder as well. Guards are sold. The new guy is the center but is the #1 Center in Nation and another in long line of Matthews family of NFL lineman.

What about Bamas OL - right side has new guys?

I see the concern but I think Johnny will be fine. If he isn't he will ride pine. We have options. We have great OL senior rb Malena 2 5 star behind him. receivers everywhere. Our O suffers without JFF but isnt stuck in mud.

Johhny will be fine.

Been saying all along that JFF won't put up nearly the numbers he did last year but the Aggie O will be even more lethal overall. Manziel gets the headlines, but we are hardly a one man show, unfortunately for the rest of the conference.

They did a study of temps for BDS, and they found the shade factor didn't really help much. Apparently, for stadiums with the east- west configuration, the shady side is a little hotter because of the sun shining on the east for longer and radiating off of the concrete. It balances out, and then becomes cooler, but it's not really a big advantage. Especially with the dark uniforms.

It'll be interesting for sure. Glad Alabama is playing a good team and will get a week off to tweak.
