<----- I am

I left the game at halftime today. I've never been to a game so hot. I started feeling dizzy and had to get out of there. Thank God it's on FSN

[CoolaidWade]

:mad:


:rep-:

[hmiles619]

yeah, i know. I'm definitely the type to stay at every game. In fact, this is the first one I've ever left early. Just couldn't do it or I might be passed out right now

[CoolaidWade]

Should I turn on my AC? I have my heater on right now. It's 119 degrees in my living room. I'm bleeding along with the players and 12th man. :mad:

[hmiles619]

:(

[AustinAggie]

That is all they have been commenting on the TV.

[hmiles619]

what'd they say?

[GuatemalanAg]

too bad you had to leave early hm...cool down and get hydrated...then down a couple of brewskies :cheers:

[CoolaidWade]

They just don't make 'em how they use too. When I was going to school it was 140 degrees for every game. Plus they didn't have any water fountains and the snack bars didn't sell any drinks of any kind. There was usually one canteen per section and we'd pass it back and forth and take a sip. I usually would pass on my sip and give it to my neighbor like a good Aggie.

[GregH]

we had to leave as well. The kids were so hot, it was horrible. People were actually passing out in the 500 section(s).

[dresbf]

First half was brutal. Two people in the row right behind me collapsed. It got much better in the second half though. Really glad I stayed, it turned out to be one of the most exciting games I've been too. I can barely talk, almost passed out from yelling and the heat. Loved that the entire student section moved from side to side as the overtimes changed end zones to get closer and yell. Felt really good finally winning it. I thought nothing was going to get me down till I made the mistake of reading these stupid message boards. Anyway headed to Northgate now to celebrate, so all the armchair quarterbacks on the other threads and boards can continue overanalyzing and bitching about every little thing. Have fun. :gig:

[jagowar]

it actually got nice... clouds finally rolled in after halftime.

[PinetarAg]

I had to leave too because of the wife....she was miserable

[Stobie]

Loved that the entire student section moved from side to side as the overtimes changed end zones to get closer and yell.

I was sad to see so many leave the game but understanding the situation, and the opponent, I dont think too bad about it. But truley after seeing so many gone (not that this is true) but it seemed like our team was gone... No passion in the game until later 4th Q, it seemed like.

It was damn hawt I agree, we stood in the ramp watching on the 12th man tv for about 10 min but then got back out there.... Im burnt pretty bad but a hella game.

I am sorry for all those that left, I hope all feels well. Be hard, but not a retard. Take your health into consideration first!

[Slotback]

Me and the g/f had to leave early. We didn't want to drop dead from heat exhaustion.

From now on, no more Sept. day games. Night games only....memo to self, email Byrne about that Monday.

[karl_burns]

I made every game, and we always played at 1:00pm when I was in school (94-98). I saw plenty of kids passing out. I'm surprised it never happened to me!

[The Massacre]

it took some getting use to the heat, but after about half way through the 1st qtr, i didn't really notice the heat too much. definitely not unbearable with a bottle of water. the clouds and breeze in the 2nd half made the game pretty nice.

where were you sitting?

I went through 3 bottles of water in the first quarter alone

[The Massacre]

section 512 in The Zone. full force sun. i finished one of those liter bottles of water that they sell at the game right as halftime started and got a 2nd one for the 2nd half.

[The Massacre]

btw, i'm not saying anything bad about you leaving. just saying that i didn't find the heat to be unbearable or too bad really after about 10-15 mins of getting use to it.

[hmiles619]

but you got to sit, standing in a heard of people with no air to breath will affect you a little differently

[hmiles619]

oh, i know, nothing personal. Just saying that it was different in the student section.

[The Massacre]

maybe, but i did put in my share of games in the student section when i was in school.

[TwelfthAG]

You miss a hell of a game!

[hmiles619]

maybe, but i did put in my share of games in the student section when i was in school.

so have i, and I've never experienced anything as bad as that. I'm not the kind to leave any game early, but I couldn't stay any longer this time...check out the thread about this on texags...lots and lots of people with similar stories.

I counted 6 people that I saw pass out during the first two quarters

[hmiles619]

You miss a hell of a game!

Naw, I was at home watching it on tv and re-hydrating by the 3rd quarter

like i said, i'm not saying anything bad about you leaving early. do what u have to do. i'm just saying i didn't think it was unbearable. different seats, yes.

[TwelfthAG]

Not the same as experiencing it.

[hmiles619]

Not the same as experiencing it.

not arguing about that, I just couldn't physically do it. I'd be dumb if I'd stayed

It's too bad that you didn't have 5 miles of 2 foot deep snow to walk through on your way to school.;)

There will be by the time he tells that story to his kids. :D

(sorry, couldn't resist!)

[Loftin]

I enjoy the heat, personally.

Today wasn't any hotter than that SMU game in 2005. I think I'm still sunburned from that game.

[Mezentius]

1995 LSU was the hottest gme I've been to...this one was just a bit cooler than that one.

[CoolaidWade]

I forgot what year it was but it rained every single home game. Seriously, every game had rain.

That wasn't too bad.

[The Massacre]

I forgot what year it was but it rained every single home game. Seriously, every game had rain.

That wasn't too bad.

pretty sure that was 1998 or 1999. dam those rain games sucked. they were a lot worse than this "hot" one.

[BAGGIO]

i gave myself an iv before the game. it was hot but i wasnt gonna die. The heat also made the rain that much better...

[CoolaidWade]

pretty sure that was 1998 or 1999. dam those rain games sucked. they were a lot worse than this "hot" one.

Actually it was 1999. Because we played Nebraska at home in 98 (I know because I missed my cousin's wedding because of it) and it didn't rain. One of the best games I have ever seen live by the way.

[Mezentius]

I have no issues with folks leaving today. It's like being seasick as a sailor. You can be fine 200 times in the same conditions in a row and then just suffer like nobody's business the 201st time.

I hydrated like a mad man the night before and on the drive over. So did my wife. I'm out of shape she is not. She had to leave the stands for about 30 minutes to get out of the sun...the heat was nuts.

[CoolaidWade]

The best cure: Go run or ride your bike every afternoon. Or when you work outside in the middle of the summer wear 65 pounds of overcoats. That would all probably help me in the stands.

But then again I wasn't there.

[GregH]

the kiddos were dying up there. We had no choice but to bail to Freebirds

[90AG]

I had to leave too because of the wife....she was miserable

Dude...get some scene control...unless she is pregnant..you gotta lay down the law! mine offered to change seats with me so she would be directly in the sun for a while and i would be shaded behind her(not much shade there)....my shoes were so hot that i thought about taking the off at one point...in 20 years...i've never been so hot in Kyle...

[Pflugerville Ag]

Me and the g/f had to leave early. We didn't want to drop dead from heat exhaustion.

TV opportunities take precedence over game times.

[12th man fan]

My deepest respects to anyone who even attempted to go to that game and endure the weather. No one should feel ashamed if they had to leave.

[Curly06]

Thank God it cooled down after the 1st half... or i just got used to it:undecided:

[whitelightnin_23]

Thank God it cooled down after the 1st half... or i just got used to it:undecided:
