Recruiting Football Talk VIII

The answer to the black clothes in the sun "myth" is that it depends.

The study referenced from the 80s was looking at specific clothing worn by Bedouins in the desert, who indeed wore/wear black clothes in intense heat. They physics of it was that they wear VERY loose fitting robes, made of very thick black materials. (Note the study affirmed that black material gets hotter, faster--so what was going on?)

The very thick material meant that the heat buildup on the material reached the skin/body slower. The very loose robes, combined with the heat buildup on the black robe, creates an upward daft that cools the body.

So, if you want to wear thick, heavy robes on the baseball field, it may work. But if you want to wear pants, belts and jerseys, you'll do better with lighter clothes, since dark material actually does absorb more heat, the thin material will translate it to your skin faster, and the tight fit will disallow the cooling effects.

Solution: have them wear fishing shirts

Only prob with that is I'm from Maryville, just live in Ala now. So your theory is taking a shot at someone born and raised in TN!

If you chose to leave the beauty of Blount County/East Tennessee for anywhere in alabama, there is no amount of sense I can talk into you. All those years you wore black uniforms in direct sunlight have caused brain damage. You have my sympathy.

GO VOLS

And I don't argue that. My point is there's really not much difference if any. If it was truly an issue we would be wearing our Orange uniforms and not the blacks. As would numerous other teams. I honestly could never tell the difference and neither can the HS Baseball players here.. From someone that's severely not natured, I'll burn up in black, white or any other color.

Did you know that Karl Marx's sister, Onya, was an Olympic sprinter?

She was so great, that every race starts with her name!

LMAO..Not that I have to explain myself to you, but a dying relative brought me to Alabama. He needed to be watched and taken care of. Then I was fortunate enough to find a job that payed me way more than I could make in East TN, atleast without having to start over. Hell, the $hit I have to deal with from Ala fans is ridiculous. But, I'm not uprooting my son either, no matter how much I miss E.TN.

Not sure if he would give up Announcing, but Charles Davis wouldn't be a bad option. He was once mentioned as an AD candidate years ago. Not sure if that was just talk or what

Isn't he going to replace Danielson as the lead commentator for CBS after this season?

Edit: Yes he is according to a release from Paramount, former Vols football player Charles Davis will replace Danielson as the lead analyst for CBS Sports college football broadcasts beginning in 2026.

While I appreciate your help with that, I'm not really gonna put much credit into someone that takes everything he reads on VN as the Gospel. So, bless you!

Everyone knows VN is canon. Google is apocryphal

See @jasonvol18 ..... VN is right again. Lighter colored uniforms are better for this time of year during daytime games.



OC's post should totally explain why the score is currently 8-2 LSU

I actually hadn't heard that. So much for that.

You REALLY don't want to know the story with his little brother "Skid".

 

[Jackcrevol]

He is out....

 

[KB5252]

Not trending our way today is it? Really need to shut them down and get something going.

So I'm learning. The next time I need to know something for certain, I know where I'm coming! If someone with the name Possum in his name buys into it, then dammit I can too! Definitely can't argue with that logic!

 

[Volnut]

Yep, that's too posh of a gig. Plus it's a slam dunk that he's a major upgrade over Danielson.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Bunts everywhere! Is @Jackcrevol calling the plays?

 

[crawdaddyjc]

And that’ll do it.
not the game we wanted.

8-2
bot 5

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Really wish we hadn’t blown it on Friday. Oh well.

Wish they had done that when we were on CBS. It was a tough decision to pick between Danielson or Kesling
