UNC-USC Super Regional Game Times Announced

- Start date
Better than 11am or noon. Short week with lot of travel for USC.
Temperatures are going up as the weekend nears. Could be some hot days out in the field.
This statement is true. Given who is hosting and our time zone location a night game would be harder to justify, but would’ve been cool.
So we did actually get the "#2 tv spot" Friday. It's just that 3pm on ESPN2 is higher priority than 5pm on ESPNU, even though the 5pm spot is later.
I can't imagine that USC would go back to LA. Stay @ A&M for the night and maybe on Tuesday or Wednesday fly to NC. I am sure that they can figure out a practice plan here. Thursday would have to be a practice day here it would seem.
It’s gonna be a million degrees both days. Expecting an evening slot was too helpful.
SoCal pretty boys ain't used to the humidity. Let's roll.
Friday real feel 98 degrees... let's melt some Trojans!!
Bring your sunscreen. Gonna be dang sunny and HOT.
98 isn't going bother them coming from LA . They are also used to making long distance trips from playing in the BIG. It would make sense for the NCAA to just keep them in Texas until they travel to Chapel Hill but again it's the NCAA so they are probably on their way to LA lol.
Parking is going to be interesting since lots don’t go “non permit” until 5pm on Friday.
Exactly what I was thinking. I have been in the LA, Anaheim, and now Coronado, San Diego area since last Wednesday and it is basically 60's and low 70's. A hot day may be tougher on them.
Im not sure about the 98 part. I'm here now and it's 60s and 70s.
I spent the first 22 years in Chapel Hill and the last 31 years in SoCal. It takes me at least 3-4 days to adjust back to the humidity when I visit in the summer. The weather will have a real impact on USC.
For my own sake, I hope he's right.
But, "low humidity" in North Carolina in June is not the same as SoCal dry heat.
Agreed, but they were also just in College Station which would be at least as humid as Chapel Hill.
Yes but it was a little cooler in Aggieland last week and three of their games were at night. Playing in 92 degree heat in the middle of the day in Chapel Hill is another thing entirely.
Parking tickets are cheaper than paid parking…
Trojans can degrade with heat. At least that's what they said about keeping them in your wallet
Joey, are you exaggerating? 
The way the weather changes this time of the year, I would prefer to wait until Thursday to see what Friday, Saturday and Sunday might look like.. It has gotten a lot warmer no doubt. I do agree about the humidity factor, but they may have experienced that in CollegeStation in the regional they just won.

Bout to say that. Especially SoCal boys that play in the Big10! Prolly not one series with a drop of humidity.
I attempted to park in Ehaus and just roll the dice on getting a ticket, but there was a person waiting at the top saying that only people with special permits could park there all weekend. I just parked at Hinton James, which I’m planning on doing again this weekend. Getting stuck in Ramshead isn’t fun at all.
It would be nice for UNC to open the School of Government deck early on Friday, instead of waiting until 5 pm, since it is mostly deserted on Friday afternoon this time of year anyway. Partially opening Ridge Road at least down to the Law School lot would also help.
I would rather roll the dice on getting a parking ticket than park in Ramshead. Parking decks with 1 exit = insanity.
Remember though that Arizona came from playing in a very dry heat last year. I thought that the humidity would get to them, but unfortunately it did not.
One weird thing is hot humid air makes balls fly farther, so it may artificially juice their offense
Pretty sure the NCAA doesn’t have anything to do with individual team travel plans / logistics. They can get where they want, when they want - so long as they meet any mandatory press conferences, open practices, etc.
SoCal and Tucson are very different. I went to school at UofA for a couple years... It gets HOT! LA doesn't get nearly as warm. LA hasn't had a day in the 80's yet this year, and most days have been under 75. It is rare to have a 90 degree day in LA during the whole school year, even September. Tucson has had a handful of days over 100 already. For example... today was 75 in LA and 100 in Tucson. They are two completely different climates. Not saying USC is going to play like crap, but those AZ kids were well accustomed to heat in general.
Throw in the fact that USC stands for University of Spoiled Children... so they are already starting starting out with a "soft" label anyways!
