NU-Fresno St. Game Thread

I drove up 101 from Paso Robles to San Jose today and will vouch it was no kidding hot. Surprised at the degree of the drought.
Dry Heat
It's a dry heat. No humidity. It won't be a factor. At kickoff the sun will be almost down and a very cool night. Perfect for football.

Heat or no heat. The guys will be ready. They can turn up the heat in the indoor practice facility if they want to simulate the heat in Fresno on Saturday. Besides the 2 previous season openers at Nebraska the heat was stifling at Memorial stadium. Many fans were treated for dehydration heat exhaustion, and Heat stroke.
I can't believe some people don't think the heat will be factor. Even though when the sun sets, temps will drop quickly, but still remain quite hot.
Heat is heat, you guys.
Heat is heat, you guys.

You are correct but stay hydrated as they usually do and you'll be fine. Nebraska has played in very hot games in the previous years at NU. The players were fine. Hydration is the key. Also the misting fans help immensely as well.

The glove is how you control the heat between series. It's lasting the long drives. Bo's teams need to learn another technique called depth and utilize rotations to keep players fresh.
In all reality you don't need this expensive device. Take a bucket of ice and stick both arms into it. Your core body temp drops fast. The device does one hand, but the two hand no high tech method works fine IMHO. Much easier to bring in an insulated pod on the sideline and feed ice to buckets than to engineer all the electrical connections.

Where are you from? A perfect night for football is high 40's, or low 50's... there needs to be a chill in the air and an extra sting when the pads connect.
*Yes I see fresno listed as your location, just can't believe anybody would ever think "football weather" is above 60 degrees

That's a bold statement. I could surmise that since this is a home game for FS, they will deal better with the heat and NU will lose? I would dare to say there are many more factors than heat that will determine who wins this game. QB play, special teams, depth and just plain overall talent will have more of a bearing on the outcome than heat IMHO.
SCV thought we were discussing the tailgate chili cook off before the game.doho8711;30072 said:
Live in Fresno
I live in Fresno now. Grew up in the Midwest and played in the humidity. There's no comparison. Playing on a hot day in Nebraska is far more difficult and taxing. By game time it won't be a factor at all. Like any game if a player if properly hydrated they'll be fine, if not they'll cramp up.
