Message to Montana fans coming to the game...

Our bodies cool themselves (when we sweat) through evaporative cooling. Evaporation actually drops the temperature of the small layer of air next to the outer layer of your skin. When the air is very humid the moisture doesn't evaporate as quickly thus making us feel hotter. If you stand in front of a fan or the wind is blowing for example the air is not at all cooler, it is simply accelerating the evaporation proccess. The opposite is true in winter. Winter winds blow the thin layer of warmer air away from your skin thus making you feel colder.

I have been to Louisianna in summer and that sucks.
I have been to Florida in summer and that sucks.
I live in Tennessee and in the summer it sucks.
I have been to nearly every southern state in the summer and they all get slammed with humidity and high dew points. One that thermometer climbs it can make life miserable for sure! Western heat is nothing compared to southern heat.

Direct and to the point

I've been to Montana (Bozeman, specifically) in August and it's hot. It's nowhere near as bad as the South though. Not even close. The humidity really is the huge difference (comparing 29 Palms to Pensacola where Pcola is 10* cooler but far worse in overall impact... at least in my opinion).

advice to Montana fans...IMO I hate buying drinks from the vendors walking around. Those drinks seem more watered down then the ones that you have to go get...though those are watered down a bit from the melting ice as well.

If you guys want to see hot look up Jacobabad, Pakistan and Qatar. Those are two of the hottest places I have ever been in. Good luck grizzlies.

It's the southeast. It gets hot. Once the humidity hits, I can't tell a difference between 98 and 105...it's all hot. Honestly, a humid 85 is hot.

Yeah, Charleston's hot. And I guess the poo smell doesn't help. We'll be down there visiting family next weekend. Looking forward to some Gilligan's shrimp.

i was in yellowstone national park last year at the end of july into august. in the morning it was 45 degrees and it got to 89/93 during the day. there is NO comparison, the southern heat is ridiculous. the wife and i spent 9 days out there and melted when we entered the southern atmosphere. don't get it twisted the Montana players will suffer and be over whelmed by the heat.

I would agree with everything said here. I remember flying from 95 degrees in Missoula to 87 degrees in Atlanta. Getting off the plane I felt like someone threw a bunch of damp blankets on me. I spent a total of one hour outside and it drained all the energy out of me. It was really unbearable. The weather will no doubt play a factor for our Montana boys. If you aren't used to that type of humidity, it can completely affect your performance and even your thought process.

Montana fans are welcome to visit my apartment conveniently located on Lake Avenue next to the Strip if they provide me with some Big Sky Brewing Company beer.

People make a big deal about the heat, but if memory serves there's about a 50% chance the game will be "hot" (85+) and a 50% chance it will just be warm.

If the game is close enough that "heat" turns out to be a decisive factor against Montana, we've got big problems.

Accuweather says partly cloudy with a high of 89 for gameday. Sunset isn't until 8, so it's going to be a hot one. Of course, the forecast will change somewhat until the 3rd rolls around, but at least we're probably not looking at rain. *knocks on wood*

Just an FYI, it was a RECORD 100 degrees here yesterday! You guys are going to fry like a sausage on a Sunday morning! :). At least it's an evening game so MAYBE it will only be 94 at kickoff.

Humid 100? Man Memphis heat is the worst. We had something like a 115 in July, not including heat index and humidity. Humidity sucks cause we are RIGHT ON the big Mississippi River. I don't think anyone in the metro area went outside all day.

And I laugh a little when people in Georgia talk about heat. I'm from central Florida not jax. And then I laugh when anyone up north complains about hurricanes.

Hard to hold it against anyone in the path of a hurricane for complaining a little. :)

North/Central Florida and everything south of the Fall line in Georgia might as well be the same state.

The OP's message was to the fans of Montana. They will be out and about on the campus hours before kickoff during the hottest period of the day and probably drinking alcohol.

It's a valid warning to people not used to the South's unique brand of heat.

I've been to Glacier at the end of June/early July.

There was ~16 feet of snow on the top of one of the passes. Highs in the 60s the whole time I was there.

I used to live in Charleston. My office was on King St. Downtown Charleston is one hot city in the summertime. That, and it's below sea level, so it floods like crazy any time it rains.

It was more of a harmless "jab" at the Griz fans but in all seriousness you're right.

Message to Griz fans, stay hydrated, stay in the shade as much as possible leading up to kick off, and bring sun block. Oh and say a prayer for your boys. Contending with both the Vols AND the Southern heat will be a lot on them! :)
