The Austin Heat Myth - Be Glad We Were Playing on the Road
Posted on 9/9/19 at 9:44 pm
Posted on 9/9/19 at 9:44 pm
Comparing the weather in Austin on Saturday night w/ BTR:
7:51 PM in Austin: 93 degF, 57 degF DP, 92 degF heat index
7:53 PM in BTR: 87 degF, 73 degF DP, 94 degF heat index
Baton Rouge probably hasn't seen a dew point in the 50s since April.

Multiple people have used the heat in Austin to explain the poor defense in the 2nd half and cramps. BTR was hotter than Austin on Saturday.
The humidity was so low there, that it actually made it feel cooler then the air temp.
The heat wasn't something that should have surprised us.
Not a difficult concept.

Was no myth. It was hot.

Dude the fricking locker room wasn’t working! What don’t you understand about that? Don’t give me some bullshite 2 degree temp difference!

I was under the impression that teams must provide equal equipment. Side line fans, coolers, radios etc. Does this not apply to locker room AC?

heat index is BS. Means exactly zero. absolute temp is what counts.

Counts for what?
You obviously don't understand heating/cooling effects. The amount of moisture in the air has a significant effect. BTR is on another level humidity wise than Austin. And it matters.

Not denying is was hot. But had we played in TS, it would have been even hotter.
No doubt, if there was no AC in our locker room, that's an issue.

didn't they say the dry heat was part of the problem. The players didn't hydrate the way they would have in BR due to the lack of soaking sweat like you would get in a humid heat. IN dry heat the sweat evaporates and you don't notice it as much and thus don't hydrate the way you should.

LMAO! The fricking A/C was working. You really fell for that shite excuse for LSU's D players faking cramps 20 times in the game to try to stop Texas momentum on offense? Why wasn't their O players cramping up?
Posted on 9/9/19 at 10:14 pm to AlwysATgr
It’s called being on the field for over 20 minutes and playing 51 defensive snaps all in the second half....Texas D was on the field for 9 minutes....those baws got scored on so fast they had no time to cramp
Posted on 9/9/19 at 10:15 pm to AlwysATgr
Turf field is also 10x hotter than teal grass dipshit.

Jesus, do you know what causes muscle cramping? fricking dumbass....see my note above to help your simple minded brain
