re: The Louisiana heat will probably be different for App State

61%

Comes with an average elevation of 3500 ft.

they are having a heat wave in Boone now - high of 75

And? Your point?

....that you can't expect to have "jungle" conditions at that elevation. I just as easlily could laugh my arse off if yall were headed up to play in late Nov. Now that would be funny. Just saying.....

your running game will be good but the majority of the LSU fans are predicting an arse whipping. Not going to happen.If you guy have to run and we can pass,Which we will you won't make the 30 to 50 point spread you fans are predicting.End of 4th quarter LSU BY 10...espn happy...App State fans happy. LSU FANS SEARCHING FOR A QB.

---

1. It is going to be an arse whooping...i will be completely shocked if we dont win by 30. I dont buy into all this good game crap...VT was supposed to be a good game.

2. Florida cant beat us at home.

3. You wont run against us.

4. We have 3 QBs...we wont be searching for anything...edwards is the one who wont make it to halftime.

it is apples and oranges. I know it's very hard to recreate humidity, but I believe our guys have been cranking up the heat in the indoor facility(if they haven't then they are wasting a resource).

I mean...
they're from NC. They had one game in Ann Arbor, I really doubt they've grown accustomed to the heat levels in Michigan.

The high temperature at Ann Arbor on the day App State played Michigan was 79 F ( LINK ). It was very humid. But the heat index really isn't a problem at 79 regardless of how humid it is.

The average August daily HIGH temperature at Boone, NC, is 74 F ( LINK ).

I'm one who thinks hot, humid weather such as that which can occur during mid afternoon in August at Baton Rouge can be a factor for a team that's not accustomed to it. I also don't think the area ecompassing the Southern Conference is the same.

I lived on the coast of Georgia (Brunswick then St. Simons Island) for five years back in the 80s. It was, to me, different. Hot in the summer; yes. Somewhat humid at times; yes. But, to me, nothing like the summer heat/humidity combination of my hometown of Lake Charles, LA, Baton Rouge, or New Orleans.

If you check out the listing of the top 10 humid cities in the US at LINK you'll see that 7 of the 10 are along the Gulf coast. The other three are on the Pacific Northwest coast; but it's relatively cool up there so you're not going to get the same magnitude of "heat index."

I bet on this date in 2004 it was a helluva lot hotter and more humid in Baton Rouge than it was in Corvallis,OR.

---

Might have been warmer but don't know about more humid. That's a humid region (as indicated in my previous post).

Wasn't that game played at night? If so, to me, that's a lot different than starting a game at 3 CST.

LSU running = One dimensional, low scoring game
ASU running and throwing = balanced offense and opportunity to score, sometimes quickly.
Opportunity to score = Good chance to win.

---

you mention the running backs but you forget to mention our corps of receivers which is the best in the SEC if not the country.

and im still failing to understand how you can think that ASU will get more than a couple opportunities to score...if they get that many.

You do realize we have one of the best defenses in the country...and if you want to talk about last year, OSU had the "best" defense in the country and we torched them...so for you to call our offense one dimensional is almost as ridiculous as you all thinking you have a chance.

On that same note, since it is a home game I'd assume we're going to choose to play in our white jerseys (even though it is out of conference).

---

App. State has to give us permission to wear white and I doubt they do that, considering they would have to wear black.
