Something so blatantly obvious completely slipped my mind. That's a really good point.

If you want to put some science to it. There are studies showing that training in high heat and high humidity works muscles in similar way to training high altitude

ne of those conversations led me back to a topic that got some brief attention a few years ago: training in heat to produce big jumps in endurance performance. There was a University of Oregon study back in 2010 that had trained cyclists do 10 days of heat acclimation -- 100 minutes of exercise in the heat each day -- and saw a 5% jump in VO2max measured in cool conditions by the end of study. In other words, heat acclimation doesn't just make you better at dealing with heat; it makes you better, period. The researchers suggested that athletes could use this type of protocol just like they use altitude training camps, as a short-term intervention to improve performance. The study got quite a bit of attention, but I hadn't heard much about athletes and coaches actually adopting the idea.

turns out there has been more research on this, and elite athletes are definitely using it. A New Zealand study published in 2012 in the European Journal of Applied Physics used elite rowers, and put them through a shorter protocol: just five days, 90 minutes per day. The rowers were in a room at 40 C and 60% humidity, and they rowed at an intensity just sufficient to keep their core temperature at a "modest" overheating level of 38.5 C. The training itself wasn't particularly hard: the goal was to overheat the rowers, not overwork them, and the 5-day acclimation period started two weeks before a major championship competition. The result: a 1.5% increase in 2,000m rowing performance.

might help explain why everyone that comes from the everglades is fast af. Besides chasing rabbits of course.

By % it isnt even close as Louisiana is at 32% which is even higher than Maryland at 29%. And only Michigan (barely) and Illinois have a larger total number than Louisiana.

Actually Maryland and Illinois are the only ones with more than LA according to the 2010 census. Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania are sandwiched in between LA and South Carolina.

That's not racist, it's just true.

I suspect also that there's a rough correlation between how much money you have and how willing you are to let your child play football. There's less money in the River Parishes among black families, and so there's more willingness to let them play a violent sport, because they have less options.

And since Southern states are on average poorer, you would expect more children available to play football.

If you get banned discussing this topic then you're legitimately racist. I don't know why it is difficult to discuss without crossing some line.

No shite. This is a great site, but damn, half the posters in threads offer not one morsel of decent discussion. It's just fricking annoying. It's like a speed bump. Too many dipshits.

I am going to piggy back off my earlier post


So most are discussing the makeup of the squads on this topic.

Why are we not discussing the advantages of location and the advantages of television also? Now that teams are building better than NFL facilities and treating the players better than NFL treats its guys in places such as Oregon, Ohio, Michigan. Do you honestly believe that the pendulum will continue to stay in the South? I do not.

We look at the champions but lets also look at the "losers" of the NCCG?

Off hand there have been 3 from same region, last night, FSU Auburn, and LSU Alabama.

How much different is this conversation are we having if LSU is not playing OU, Ginn does not get hurt, LSU is not in a rematch, etc.

That is why I say this is a cycle that will reverse back, it has been an extraordinary long cycle.

As Margaret Sanger would say:
Eugenics.

I really don't want to get banned. Chris Rock did a stand up on the subject, regarding systemic breeding by the government. As terrible as it sounds, it is the truth. Pull it up and watch it.

What is ban worthy about discussing slavery and genetics? Some of you are ridiculous.

States like Maryland, New Jersey, Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio have a large African American population. In fact, in terms of sheer numbers, we have more just due to the fact that we have a much bigger population that Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina.

They're primarily in the cities, and not the rural areas. Total difference from the South.
