Sizzling Saturday

[83Hawk]

Gotta keep the guys hydrated Saturday. Lots of ice water, have the trainers watching the players closely.

Gatorade, not ice water. And lots of it.

For those going to the game, take a kitchen towel and get it wet. Put it around your neck and tuck the ends in your shirt. You get a bit wet butit keeps you cooler. Or put it on your head.

I swear by smart water also. They'll let you bring in a large bottle. Keep hydrated. I'll sure miss not being there. Keep cool and Go Hawks!

Going to be gross in the stands. Seats are so tight you are going to be absorbing body sweat from neighbors.

north side has a little more width in the sports but I can’t imagine how awful it will be on the east and west side.

I bet you drive a vehicle and burn fossil fuels and thus have a carbon footprint like the rest of us. This is the world we've built.

So get over it you whiny b*tch.

You don't get along with facts very well, do you? That's okay. Facts are facts. They don't depend on your acceptance. "We" haven't built this world. Some of us believe in science. Experts have been warning of climate change and depletion of the water supply at least since the 1970s. And yet we still have MAGA nut jobs denying the reality that anyone can detect by simply stepping outside the A/C. But you are great at name-calling. Your beloved pedophile dictator would be so proud of you, a true American.

Absolutely, cuz nobody's ever played football in hot, humid weather before. Too bad they don't have 3 or 4 players for every position so they could keep guys fresh. That would probably be a good thing too. I don't know. I'm just spitballin'.

You beat me to this uiHawk82, was just about to post this! I agree!

My AI friend has this to say about white vs. black football jerseys on hot days:

"Other factors mitigate the difference on the field between white and dark jerseys:

• Pads and Gear: NFL and college players wear padding that retains body heat more significantly than the jersey color itself, meaning jersey temperature is a secondary factor in overall heat storage.
• Humidity: High humidity impairs sweat evaporation, which is the body's primary cooling mechanism; this often has a larger negative effect on performance than the jersey color.
• Mitigation: Teams use sideline fans, spritzers, and cool towels to manage heat, and modern moisture-wicking fabrics help dissipate heat more effectively than older materials.

"Thus, the actual competitive advantage of white vs. dark jerseys is debated due to the dominance of pads and humidity in heat management."

You stand corrected. But I hope you won't take it too hard.

BTW: Muslim women in the Middle East have been wearing all black clothing, head to toe, for centuries in the some of the sunniest and hottest climates in the world. I haven't heard of any of them dropping dead as a result. But maybe you've heard otherwise.

This i why I avoid going to September games. I'd be sitting next to this guy...

Well, that's good you have a friend, even if it's just a "figment"...

Good thing about sitting in the West stands at 3pm......no sun.

Good thing humans haven't been impacting the weather. I think the 92-degree forecast must be fake news, right? Just because half the world is on fire, the glaciers are melting, and droughts are popping up all over the place means nothing. It's just weather being weather. Right? Right? Damn, SO many people are SO freakin' stupid.

Take it to the off-topic board.

Hey Nutjob. What is the science that I am not believing in?

Have you somehow concluded I think climate change is fake news? Please explain.
