Are you from the south?

[salsadancer7]

Yep. I know. It's doable. Try jogging in Miami in July when it's +100°F. Not doable.

Absolutely, and Miami rarely EVER gets 100 degrees....another myth. I run in the mornings when I have time or the evenings after work. I still play baseball and most of my games were at 12 noon. You adapt. Like you adapt to...say....winter perhaps? LOL!

Ask any Football player and they will tell you they prefer to play a game in the cold and not in the heat. You will never hear a player say he likes the heat. Fans would say the same.

Really? Do you think they rather play the bowl games in Miami or Tempe or Pasadena than Provo, Wisconsin or Ann Abor? I would say that would be a 50-50 split. Do you think the NFL players would rather play in the same areas where it is warm as mentioned above or play in Green Bay or New England or Chicago... I would guess that TOO would be a 50-50 split.

No football player wants to play in Florida weather with 100 percent humidity. As a football player it's better to play in the cold for many reasons. But when you're hot it's not easy to cool down during a game.

It seems all the good ones do, hence the superiority of southern football teams compared to the slap fight variety up north.

Seconded!

I will take humidity 10 times over "wind chill factor" any day of the week! ;-)

Oh I agree 100% but if I had a choice I would take the SW

Southern teams have NO ISSUES playing in heat AND when the season is close to ending, whether it is NFL or college... I am sure they would much rather play in Tallahassee in late November/early December than Blacksberg, VA. or play in San Diego than Chicago.

Generally the argument among the northern posters here is we win so much because of the nicer weather during football season.

That's not really valid though, since all games are played pretty much before Nov 1st

There's also a question of density altitude as it relates to wind resistance. I know you're discussing football, but that humid Southern air is thick stuff! In baseball, balls go farther at Coors Field than at Pac Bell Park, without even considering wind direction.

BTW I noticed today that John Elway now seems to have a car dealership here in Socal. An old slow white Bronco selling old slow white Broncos.

...."because of the nicer weather during football season"....don't know about you but that sounds the players might prefer the "nicer weather" to me? ;-)

As we pointed out when Ohio St. people used the excuse to explaing Florida/LSU beating them.

I recall someone saying that their team actually didnt play as well in the nice weather. lol

 

[mccoyrj]

Aren't you from Louisiana? 6 million people, 10 last names?

Or was that West Virginia?

Family tree goes in a straight line.

LOL! I just read these.

Cause up north College is amateur and only hold the interest of those that went to college, unlike every swinging Richard who costarred in Deliverance being a Dawgs fan or those that are from TX and poison a tree

No! Let's see...I have all my teeth; I was not born with six toes; I do not chew tobacco nor do I own a spitoon collection; I find NASCAR to be pointless nonsense; my idea of an elegant breakfast is not taking the wife/cousin Nadine and kids Jeb and Maybelline to the Waffle House; my idea of fine-dining is not a late-night chemically imbibed trip to the IHOP; I do not wear cowboy boots or possess a belt buckle stamped with the word "Bodacioius"; I do not understand why anyone would boil a perfectly good peanut; I do not feel that "Hey" is an appropriate greeting at formal southern family get togethers such as weddings, funerals, indictments, arraignments and executions; I do not drive an 18-wheeler for a livin'; and I have attained an education level higher than a GED (Note: GED is similar to an SEC degree but it includes 6th grade reading, writing and passing an exam - this certification is required to teach public school in many southern states).

I have a million more observations as to why I am not from the South!

P.S. Just kidding...I do like boiled peanuts.

What, never had SNOW before Nov 1st ?

 

[cybok0]

We had snow in October.
