May 14, 20241 yr So between the players from Fort Collins and the olds in the NEZ, we should lose...what, 20-30 people? For $3700 from ABC? Sounds good. Â
May 14, 20241 yr What in the fucking shit? I recall a several years ago that our home openers were more regularly an evening game. Seems like for quite a while, though, they've been the 11am or 2:30pm slot. That's some bullshit.

But yes it seems LHN has 100% been the saving grace of night games for the 1st game of the season outside of ND matchup.
May 14, 20241 yr I’ll probably just give those tickets away. I think Arizona passed a state law requiring colleges football games in September to be at night for safety reasons. I wish we’d do the same in this state.

Keep me on the list, my parents are overly hardcore about attendance and will use them. It will keep me from having to scramble my LHF seats to accommodate. They decided last minute on Rice and KU last year just for shits, regardless of melting temps. I tip my cap to them.Â

May 15, 20241 yr My 2 tickets are under the overhang and in the shade right at 11am. I’ll be good, but still probably not going any of the early-season games.Â

Then the coveted seats became the ones underneath the overhang, and our seats moved to what used to be the "Options" seatback seats in Section 104.
May 15, 20241 yr We must be getting closer to football season. Â Â The same surly bitches are bitching about the bitch time we play a game. Â Â

The late August through late September games in the South should be played at night IMO.Â

May 15, 20241 yr for last years opener I packed a ziploc full of liquid IV and made sure everyone with me hammered them throughout. This was after prehydrating with several nalgenes worth of H2O. It is a must if you are going to be out in that for extended periods (unshaded) and especially if you plan on drinking at all. Personally I eschew booze for weed things to get my rocks off on the whole, but especially for these circumstances. Â also a cool towel wrapped around your neck and refreshed frequently is a lifesaver. Â
May 15, 20241 yr I chug beer until I start sweating then I know I'm hydrated so long as the sweat isn't beading. Buncha pussies with your liquid IV's and shade. Hydration should be taken care of staring 2-3 days prior. Edited May 15, 20241 yr by BurntOrange&White
May 15, 20241 yr Just look on a few website that give historic weather. Last year it was 102F with a 3.7 mph wind. Could find the index but on the field it would be what, 120? 125?

May 15, 20241 yr The Kansas game on September 30th was hot as a MFer as well. From 2P to kickoff I found shade and lots of water. During the game, it was partly cloudy so there was a break every now and again.Â

May 16, 20241 yr This is the 4th fucking year in a row our opening game is at either 2, 2:30 or 3. What the actual fuck first Fox now ESPN… Do they not realize how hot and humid it gets on Labor Day weekend in Austin especially at that time of day?
