it is supposed to be around 94 for the high on game day...with about 70% humidity...

Doesn't seem terrible to me

...they had better have one for practice...that cool crisp Smoky Mtn air won't cut it...

I don't think their summer time temps/humidity are all that much different than ours....spring and fall are cooler, but summer is sweltering.....

Let's see. The high tomorrow is 62 degrees and the lows are in the 50's in Boone. We are talking about a sudden 30 degree temperature change for them. It will have some effect.

OK, 72 then. It only be a 20 degree (plus humidity added in) difference. You know how drug out you feel when the first hot days of Spring/Summer get here? That's what it's going to feel like like. Trust me, I moved from Baton Rouge to Eastern Arkansas almost 14 years ago. We have heat and humidity here but going to Baton Rouge takes it to an entirely different level. I always say "damn, I forget how hot it is down here" . NO LIE.

Drink plenty of water as well. Unfortunately, BR-style food will not be on the menu. We just don't have the time.

Hope to have a great time!

The average high temp in Boone in August is 75 degrees while the average August high temp is 92 in Baton Rouge. That is a pretty big difference. Boone hasn't seen temps above 87 this month (one day at 87) and only 3 days at 85 or above. Baton Rouge has had only 8 days in August that weren't 90 or above. Baton Rouge weather is isn't that much different from Charlotte or Raleigh. But it is quite a bit different from Boone.

The Appalachians aren't high enough to make a difference. That said, I'm sure ASU's coaches condition the players properly for humidity/heat etc.

But a hot or humid day will mean that depth will matter more for both teams, and that is the big difference between single and double A.

I have mixed feelings about the heat. A hot day means uncomfortable tailgating, but also less clothing on the hotties walking around.

First off, for everyone whining about the temperature, don't go if you're going to bitch.

Secondly, for everyone else whose saying our players are gonna cramp up in the 2nd quarter and die of heat exhaustion by the 3rd, don't be ridiculous. One of those players grew up in the mountains.....most of the men on that team grew up on conditions much the same as yours. Armanti lived in South Carolina, where the average temperature ain't that much different and the humidity ain't either. Same goes for the rest of those guys. Just because they live on a mountain for 2 years doesn't mean they don't know about heat and humidity.

Will we tire faster in warmer more humid weather? Yeah, it's a no-brainer. But our guys know that weather just like your guys do.....

Bunch of crybabies about the weather down there....grow a pair.

What I think is that all these guys grew up in areas where the average temperature is 5 degrees below yours with a 40-50% humidity rating. They are used to it......
