Practice

[SMU89]

Will we be able to practice in this heat? It seems somewhat dangerous to do so. Any chance they move up practice time to avoid the more intense heat?

I checked temp last night around 10:30 - 98 degrees.

I definitely plan on going to check out 1 or 2 practices next week. Anything to get through August faster. Just got my tickets to the ATM game today!

It's not like its CAPITALIZED-------- THAT PRACTICES ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC! But will they let us PF's in to watch and then to publicly scrutinize everything that they do out there?

I know at 11 something this morning, the weather channel was reporting 99 degrees in Dallas. I was thinking they might need to start around 5:00 a.m. or so.

practice is usually about 2 hours right?
8:30-10:30?

They should practice at HP

No clue.

At least put up some big shade tents - didn't see that last year. I hope there isn't any heat exhaustion problems, this summer is going to be brutal for all HS and Colleges.

I know it is hot but you know when else it will be hot? when we are down in College station, or hosting teams here in September, Kids have to practice in it to lear how to handle it/ acclimate. An IPF is for bad weather days (Lightning Storms) so you can still practice.

It also allows you to keep practicing when the heat would normally require you to head inside. An IPF is a mandatory tool to be on an even playing field.

Are you going to argue against weight rooms because you dint push against iron during games?

[Pony_Law]

NO i'm siply saying that I think its good to practice in the heat because you play in it, and you shouldn't move indoors just because it is hot.

[ponyscott]

We all understand you need to practice in the heat to acclimate, but this is cruel and inhuman punishment at 110 degrees. They should be able to practice outdoors for the bulk of the practice, and then be able to move indoors to supplement the practices for additional wind sprints etc. You can only do so much in this heat.
TAMU/TCU will be practicing indoors getting ready to play us and they will be in better shape because of it.

I'm pretty sure TCU's IPF is not air-conditioned. I'm not sure that would be any better, really.

Some heat is good, but when it is as hot as it is now, you are needlessly risking the lives of the players.
