I think the biggest difference in Texas weather compared to here is the humidity level. The humidity is much, much higher in Texas. The heat in Texas is sweltering whereas here the heat is dry. The heat here is certainly hot but it's more tolerable and less dangerous than the muggy heat in Texas. I grew up in the midwest and I know what that muggy weather feels like and I'll take being baked rather than being steamed anytime!

I grew up in New England and Virginia, and played sports all the time. The only thing I noticed
was needed more liquids and electrlytes. If you did this you never seem to have problems. Maybe, a few more breaks to hydrate, but I never wanted to leave a game to hydrate. I would do it during timeouts.
VA and TX are about the same.

They have a “feels like” feature of forecasts which factor in wind and humidity, last night in commerce it felt like the actual temperature.
Another difference in heat between Davis and Texas is that Davis cools down more at night, and its cooler in the morning. A football team in Davis can schedule around the heat. If they want to practice in the heat they can and if they don’t they can mitigate it.

Regardless of what the temp or humidity was in Texas yesterday, it was clear that the Aggies were the better conditioned team. Numerous Lions went down with cramps.

Yep, and the same thing happened when we played Tulsa.

No one else is encouraged by two sophomore transfers starting their first game at Davis? These guys really flew under the radar, and are playing in front of some veterans. I think that portends big things..

I spent 10 weeks in San Antonio. It got so humid there that rain clouds would form just above us in mid-afternoon and we'd get a hot shower.

I use to remember in VA that the temp use to be in the upper 90's a few storms would pass through and the steam from the street would rise up like a huge cloud.
I do miss the T-Storms thought. You know Gods 4th of July. I have seen ball lightning in VA too. Not often, but it occurs. A pretty awesome sight.

I've been watching the game replay and, a couple of minutes into the second quarter, another TAMC player is puking. So two times already they've had players getting sick. I assume it's due to overexertion in the heat. You'd think they would be more used to the Texas heat than the Aggies.

River, which transfers are you talking about? I couldn’t quite put my finger on the position(s) you’re referring to.

Eli Simonson and Lamont Shamburger.

Eli is a transfer from Nebraska, played left tackle.
Lamont is a transfer from Benedictine, a DB, probably a corner.
Both started and played most of the game.

Too many TOs.

We had some head scratching interceptions for sure.
The interception near the end of the first half was a good play on their part but dumb to even run a play with a route so conducive to a pick six when just seconds remain. Perez made a shoe string tackle or that would have been 6.

Sac is going to slaughter them in CA,
Question about TAMC: Are most of their players from TX/SE US? I'd understand a bit more if they had lots of Californians because it's one thing to practice and another to play in a game. But if they were local, you'd think they'd do ok. Didn't someone say the humidity at game time wasn't too high in the 30% range (which isnt out of the question in the west?

for much of the 1st half, Commerce had more barfing players on the field than points (2 v. 0)

Did anyone see the play where Gale lines up at RT and Parks moves over to outside of LT, then Gale goes out for pass? I have not seen that before. 2nd quarter

Too much heat over the last few weeks in Texas probably got in the way of their conditioning, by limiting exertion. Aside from the ability to sweat, their is not much a body can do to adapt to heat, and all athletes can sweat buckets,

Larison is a Swiss Army knife. His one pass for a completion was a bullet and accurate. I am pretty sure he has a stronger arm than any of the quarterbacks on the roster.

If Tompkins could throw like Larison he’d still be a QB. I thought Tompkins had a good game aside from the dropped pass. Interesting that after the interception in front of Tompkins near the end of the first half, that Perez caught up to the defensive back and saved the touchdown.

Did Chukwudobe break tackles and run over people again? Impressive YPC (11.3?), just like Cal Poly last year, but on limited carries (3).

He ran with determination. You have to watch in the fourth quarter when he was in, Showed enough speed to completely reverse the direction of a play and get around the opposite edge.

TAMC posted the official attendance at 4227 and and showed 91 degrees at kickoff.

After the game got less interesting, I noticed a sign for Tokyo Express just outside the stadium. Apparently 4.5 stars on Google with reviews saying it competes with any big city sushi joint. So the question, is a small town in BFE Texas hiding a cultural gem or is the average reviewer just happy to have something other than another bbq brisket joint?

Its like people in Seattle rating a mexican place.

Good interview with their coach.
He sounds like he knows they're going to get pasted next week too.
Tough OOC schedule to start with Sac and Old Dominion coming up on the road.

Bump:

Did Gale catch the pass? Ended up near the two yard line?

I lived in Seattle for 8 years. Lots of great restaurants up there and some very good sushi bars.

Yes
