In Baton Rouge, in August it'll be just as hot at 7 P.M. LSU fans will be complining about this time. xlolx

Thats what I've been saying. It's the humidity that we have to worry about the temp will be the same from about 12:30-1:00 until about 10:00 PM.

We will have to play alot deeper rotation than we did at Michigan!

[KiddBrewer]

so if its 4pm in BR, that would make it 5pm in Boone, right?

hope so, a little more time to drink it up............

the sun might not effect the actual temp so much but it will sure make a difference on what it "feels" like

Coming from someone who lived in Baton Rouge for 25 years, sun or no sun it will feel the same, if not muggier at night. The best conditioned team will win this game. I remember when Oregon State came to Baton Rouge, they wore those black unis they were spent by half time. The worse thing that could happen is if it rains, the humidity will really build up.

always cooler in the shade. science.

That's one of the biggest things I worry about (withholding the obvious). There were some rumors of having special jerseys made for this game a few months ago, but haven't heard anything else about it.

Hopefully our conditioning staff will turn the heat on full blast in our practice facility and have our guys run gassers.

[I-AA Fan]

Gee, are we going to have new thread for each day of summer camp as well? God forbid you put this in the thread that already exists, since the vast majority of us do not care.

[Saint3333]

While I like ASU being on national TV, the time change will be awful for ASU. I don't think ASU will win, but I was hoping for a competitive game (at least 3 quarters). FBS teams are much deeper than FCS teams as seen with ASU only playing 29 players against Michigan. That will not be an option with the heat in the bayou.

ASU's only hope is that LSU slacks off in preparation like Wake Forest did in 1999 (I think) when all their players were crapping up. I doubt that will happen as they will be used to the heat and humidity.

And I'll be sweating my #$$ off.

[AppAlum2003]

Seriously??? An FCS team lands a regular-season game nationally televised on ESPN and you're going to bitch and moan? Seriously? I know there is already a thread dedicated to this game, but your typical AGSer is not going to read that thread. Posting a new thread gets the word out to everyone.

Hey move the discussion over to the App v LSU board we need to hit 2000!!

[Retro]

No, don't move it.. We need to close those threads that exceed 200+ replies as it's too lengthy to read through them when the whole context of the thread has changed throughout..

i like to think this game brings exposure to the fcs and our style of play as a whole and not just appstate. AND, since your name is "I-AA Fan" i would hope you were interested.

telling me you aint gonna watch?

[GtFllsGriz]

I for one will be watching it! The Griz don't play that weekend and I am already in need of some football. I don't expect APP to win but I sure hope they show the world that FCS has some pretty darn good football, again! I will be cheering for APP all the way in that one!!!!

Our black home unis scare me. I hope LSU decides to bust out their purples or something. Also, I wanted to see a night game at Tiger Stadium. xbawlingx

This quote from Tiger Droppings worries me a bit as well:


Note to appy fans:

this will be horrible for your team and your fans

sun will be setting behind the LSU bench all Tiger players in the shade and your entire team and fans baking in the August heat

Nope, LSU will be wearing white in that heat. I hope we can come up with yeller jerseys or something. Anything would be better than wearing black.

As far as somebody saying it will be cooler in the shade. Relatively speaking that is true but it is still going to be hot and humid in the shade. :)

I know. They sometimes wear purple though randomly (and seems like it's usually against teams they think they will blow out). I figure they won't for an August game, but who knows.

I was going to say the same thing. LSU wore purple three times and two of those were on the road. And it's hot even in the shade. xlolx

They wear them ususally if the other team doesn't want to wear dark unis. But white is their main choice.

[AppStFan76]

Wasnt there some talk earlier in the year about the posibility of yellow jerseys for the opening game? I assumed that was the home oppener, and I thought that was a bad idea, but might not be a bad idea for the LSU game.

[Skjellyfetti]

They wore purple at home from 1983-1994.

I know it was a night game and what not, but the last time we played LSU, they wore purple and we wore white. Let's hope that's the case again. Although, I was at the Michigan game and it was hot as crap. I used to live in Michigan and it had never been that hot, I was burned to a crisp.

Honestly that would look pretty ugly on tv if they go with a yellow jersey... Im just thinking abt Chatty's unis last year and also W Vir when they played in the yellow...

I don't see the Tigers doing us any favors this year. xlolx Not in August at 4 in the afternoon.

I wouldn't. xsmiley_wix

Actually, App State can wear white if they choose to!

Per NCAA Rules, the visiting team wears white, however the home team may wear white if both teams agree before the season..

How pissed would LSU be if we wouldnt agree to let them wear white? Their fans are already pissed that the time got moved up.

Yah. The fans and the team would be pretty livid. Not sure on this, but I bet LSU is undefeated or close to it when teams make them wear purple.

[ericsaid]

I'm pretty sure that this game will be incredible to watch.

[aust42]

Prime time ESPN on the opening Sat of college football. That's great exposure for Ap State and 1AA football. 2007 1A Champ vs the 2007 1AA Champ. My Bluehens open the same day at MD at 3:45pm and will be televised on ESPNU. Nice to see some national tv coverage for 1AA on opening day. Hopefully we can both make the headlines on Sportscenter that night.

[Lionsrking]

LSU just hired their new AD and already want to fire him. They don't take kindly to moving games to daytime, especially if it's not a BCS conference opponent.

[McNeese72]

I know that (Baton Rouge native 25 years) They changed to white when Gerry DiNardo became coach.

They traditional wore white at home before the period where the NCAA had the stupid rule that the home teams had to wear their colored jerseys and the visiting team wore white. They hated the rule and the rule was eventually changed to where if both teams agree they can wear white at home and they have gone back to wearing predominately white at home.

I remember them wearing white in the old days of Charley Mac.

[T-Dog]

I have a bad feeling about our ability to keep our 12-0 record on the ESPN family of networks.

does that mean LSU has gotten visitors to always wear colored uniforms since they (LSU) usually play in white at home? is that like one of their bargaining chips when they give a visiting team a game?

[appsfan]

I am glad the national TV exposure got worked out. While we don't have much of a chance, well, you know, on any given Saturday ...

On another note, the football gods must be looking out for me. My old 32" Sony died today. I hate that ;) , not. So at least now I will have a new HD LCD TV to watch the game.xthumbsupx

No, I believe Vandy refused, leading LSU to wear a yellow jersey. Most teams don't make a big fuss out of it, at least not publicly.

We better wear white. No way we should go all black in that head. LSU shouldn't pitch a fit about going in purple tops and yellow pants, that's not that bad. Plus they did it last time we played that (it was a night game and early November 05, but oh well)


And if we have our regular uni's, should we go black pants or white pants with our white tops? I'd prefer black pants as it looks better, but we went to the white pants on the road when it heated up.

Hate to post twice in a row (well, not really hate, but whose keeping score :p ) but we do have a player on our team who has experience on both sides in Tim Washington, LSU transfer who will be a senior this year IIRC. He's stated that App's summer practices are tougher physically that LSU's so if he's telling the truth on that, I think our chances went up quite good about the start time as LSU will have some big hosses out there who will be hurting in that second half. As someone mentioned on our boards, we got that new indoor training facility, so they should turn up the heat in there and let the guys sweat it out in there when it's cool outside (not too much, don't want to push them too hard, but we do have an offense based on speed, so it's important that we are in shape and fast).

Tim isn't on the team anymore for personal reasons.

[MountainMan]

With the size of their D-Line & LB's and the inexperience of their all new secondary I swear I would go "Jet" for the first 4 or 5 posessions. It would be hard on our O-line, but if we run short pass plays and run mainly up the middle it won't be as tough on them. We can rotate WR's and RB's to keep the fresh, and I think Armanti is in good enough shape to handle that.

To me the key is keeping it close early. We have got to make them play the starters as much as possible and keep the depth factor to a minimum.

Can the stuff at http://www.weatherreports.com/United.../averages.html be right? The average high temperature in August in Boone is only 74 degrees F?

The reason I looked it up is that I wanted to see if LSU might have an advantage for having practiced in daytime in Baton Rouge in August for weeks prior to the game. I thought the main difference might be humidity. But I had no idea Boone is that cool in the summertime.

Correct.

Then I think your boys are in trouble. Bigger, stronger, faster, deeper, been practicing in the heat and humidity when your guys haven't been. Doesn't look good.

I have said that since they scheduled LSU in August in Baton Rouge. It is difficult enough to breath in that heat and humidity. It is not going to be much fun.
