It is suppose to be 95 degrees at game time on Saturday

Both teams have to play in the same weather, but I hate games where it is so crazy hot, especially on Field Turf.

This stadium is unique because it is laid out east/west instead of the normal north/south. If you are looking back west for the ball, it may be hard to see in a late afternoon game.

We had guys cramping at USU. This week is going to be harder.

Get out the pickle juice and mustard. I’d never heard of mustard but a couple weeks ago at my grandson Ute conference game a couple of the boys were cramping and one of the moms had mustard packets. Just when you think you’ve heard it all.

Pickle juice works.

[Utesbyfive]

The secret ingredient in both is vinegar. Mustard is Vinegar, water, mustard seed, turmeric, and salt. Pickle juice – lots of vinegar and salt.

I don’t think the East/West orientation should throw off Utah too much, as they’ve played USC at the Coliseum and will know how to handle it.

[Jim Vanderhoof]

The humidity can be a bigger factor. I’ve never been to Stillwater. Is the humidity there high? The Baylor game was similar heat minus the humidity. Depth will play a big role.

[UtesRock]

And the humidity. Some clouds may help.

Where are you seeing 95? The National Weather Service says high “near 90”. There is also a decent chance of a thunderstorm coming south from Kansas overnight which might keep things cloudy/cool through the morning, at least; NWS translates that to a 40% chance of rain during the day. There is a weak cold/stationary front in the area, so if that slips south it might also keep temperatures more moderate.

@Plains: I’m seeing “near 94” from your NWS link.

went to another weather site and its forecast calls from a Saturday high of 97:

Going to be hot in any case.

Silver lining – As we’ve seen here, day games with notable heat will take some energy out of the crowd.
