103 degrees now long range forecast for Sept. 2nd...

[Brog]

that long range forecast doesn't predict the 11 am temperature on the 2nd, but if it's like today, it will be 100 by noon. Sure hope Deion and his players are glad to get out of the Colorado cold. And what about the rest of us? Both sides of the field will have full sun the whole game, beginning to end.

It’s 3:00 am and still 90 degrees in Dallas.

This is not fun.

 

[HToady]

Classes start Monday 110 degrees. It’s got to be an anomaly. It’s never been hot in Texas in August.

 

[Wexahu]

It’s gonna be brutal. Can’t imagine if it ends up being one of these 105-108 days.

Somebody is going to have to die before the suits come to their senses. In the good old days the season didn’t start until .September 15- 20. These games are definitely the candidates for Friday nights in the new contract.

 

[fanatical frog]

It was 102 at 8:18 last night in the mid cities. Scheduling 11 am games in Fort Worth in early September has always been like telling the fans to go eat cake.....and maybe worse than that this year.

Yeah, summers are always hot in TX, but I don’t ever remember it being this hot this early (usually June is kinda/sorta/pretty hot, but this June was unbearable) and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it this dry. I’m in Houston and haven’t seen a drop of rain at my house in months I don’t think.

Just an absolutely brutal summer.

In the lower bowl, we can lay down in the aisle and catch some shade.

 

[JugbandFrog]

Excellent. This is an advantage we will need, and hopefully be able to utilize. If we are soft, we will find out in the 4th quarter of this game.

I already purchased my spf 50 long sleeve shirt, got a new white polo, and purple sun hat. If all else fails, I get a free ride to my car on a gurney

 

[Ron Swanson]

I’ll be honest, I only get so many hall passes from the wife for making TCU games each year. I wanted to come to this game, and I would’ve come if it was a night game, but the 11 AM game in 100+ degree heat isn’t worth it. I’ll save my passes for later on this season.

 

[TopFrog]

We should wear all white and force the Buffs into their black and gold.

Growing up in Houston it rarely ever got above 100. 96 to 97 was a really hot summer day. I kept pretty close tabs on the temps in the early 70s because my summer jobs were outside. I commuted from the Memorial area to the Shell Deer Park refinery. It was miserable enough at 93-95 daily. I can’t imagine 20 -30 straight days of triple digits.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the game is moved to night if the heat dome doesn’t shift.
(by the way, it was 76/56 with no humidity here in Mississippi of the Midwestyesterday)

This level of heat is anomalous. The temps are sky high and it’s not cooling at night. This is a nightmare summer.

I"m sure ESPNFOXCBS will eagerly reschedule the game to 9 p.m. because of the weather....And for the younger viewers, this summer is fast becoming a carbon copy of 1980 with a record high of 113 in Fort Worth....The difference in game conditions then and now is that in 1980 there were no locally/regionally/nationally TV broadcasts so the schools and conferences could schedule to accommodate themselves and there were only 10 regular season games so the season could open mid-September and many schools did not have a bye week and there were no conference championship playoff games, so the season could be concluded in just 10 weeks ,allowing a later opening date....

IF it is a scorcher, Sonny needs to substitute early and often. They have been bragging about depth, well, he is the perfect place to use it. Substitute all those WRs, a new set each possession and play fast, with no substitutions...until Colorado players start getting "hurt". Substitute on defense, too.

2000 was hot until the Hawaii game in early October (the 7th I believe). Cold and rainy the rest of the season.

I was not in DFW in 1980. How were October and November in 1980?

 

[TopFrog]

I saw a record the other day beat one set in 1909. Was there global warming back then?

84 at 8:55 a.m. in Houston, but already “feels like“ 95 with the humidity, according to The Weather Channel. There is no debate—this is clearly on another level from any of my years in Texas. I fortunately have had good time by the lakes of Wisconsin and Minnesota this summer—though often humid too with breezes from the south, it is cool enough to be comfortable; and when the wind switches to the W and NW, it is great.

1980 still holds all the records. 67 days 100 or more, record high 113, Fort Worth prohibited any lawn watering, TCU and all area lawns brown as can be, hot! Wonder if weathermen were talking about climate change then? And for that matter, 2011 still has hotter records than this year.
