Yeah that guy is an idiot. I live in Indy, it’s cooled off the last week but it’s been hot and humid all summer. Let’s not act like northern Indiana is Alaska lol

And humid air isn’t even close to Denver, where you can be depleted of oxygen. Ryan Clark almost died when he tried playing in Denver because of his sickle cell disease

Better hope that forecast holds up because in Austin today it'll still be over 100 at 7PM. If it gets hot that weekend it'll still be miserable at kickoff

Wasn't it hot at FSU in 2021? Not that that was our best game either. So maybe that's not super reassuring.

Living in Austin right now, but grew up in Midwest and went to ND. It's more humid here in Central Texas than I remember the Midwest ever being growing up. Not saying it's Houston or New Orleans, but it's pretty thick when you combine it with the heat.

And as for the heat, don't expect it to dropdown to even 70F at night . The hottest point of the day is 1-4PM, and if the projected high is 98F, it will feel like 110F around 4PM. It will probably still feel 95F at the minimum by 6:30PM.

I'm not saying our guys can't handle it. I don't think it will be a big issue. But I entirely disagree when y'all say it's been comparable in South Bend or "won't be too bad" in College Station

Texas A&M football 2024 game-by-game predictions: A&M surprises in Elko’s first year

Let's break down every matchup for Texas A&M football and see how they will shape up by year's end in Mike Elko's first season.
gigemgazette.com gigemgazette.com

In my earlier preview of this game, I had the Aggies winning 34-21. Since then, I've begun to think that we won't see quite as much offense in this one. Though it's exciting that Terry Bussey is reportedly making the switch over to the offensive side of the ball, and I expect him to make some big plays in this one, I'm becoming a bit leery of the Ags' ability to blow the doors off on offense in game one under a new regime.


Similarly, I think that the Irish won't be all that when they try to move the ball. The more I learn about this ND team, and Riley Leonard in particular, the more I think that this is a bad matchup for the Golden Domers.

This one won't be comfortable for the Ags until halfway through the fourth quarter, but I think the game control metrics will look good for the Maroon and White at the end of things. I've got A&M winning, 30-17, to start off the year 1-0.

Ahhh - preseason kool-aid. This guy has his beloved Aggies finished 10-2 and a blowout win against Texas to end the season.

Been saying this for a while now. Perhaps College Station isn’t as bad of a heat island as Austin but the hot temperatures linger until early in the morning and Kyle Field ain’t gonna be cooler.

I think people from the outside looking in are severely underrating our skill talent and assume we'll struggle bc of that + a young OL. Its easy to see that we lost Estime and struggled at WR last year and write them off.

Yep. It's hot in Texas, nothing new. But your body definitely adjusts and handles it differently. I went golfing this past weekend and it was 105. I'm used to it and was hot, but no real problem getting through it. I was with a friend from Chicago and he wanted to quit at the turn because he was so hot. Anecdotal for sure, but it's definitely an issue.
