re: How will the hot temps. affect Appy. Stinks?

From what your educated weather persons are predicting I'd say that the heat may not be as bad as you are claiming.

Aug 30 Weather

I'd say that the Mountaineers will have plenty of time to get a feel for what they will be playing in that day. Since it is a 4 o'clock start time then the heat will be decreasing toward the 80's before the first quarter ends.

As far as humidity, the elevation difference should help them. High humidity decreases oxygen levels and they play and train more than 3,000 feet above sea level. And don't give me bullshite that that won't matter. I know it does! I trained here in Boone before I went to boot camp in Orlando and it helped a lot.
