September 5, 20231 yr Moderator So game time temperature on the field, maybe 107 with a sellout crowd of 60,454. All that body temperature will compound on-field temperature. This is at 7pm start time temperature. The only saving grace is a low humidity index level. Today's humidity level is 24%. Let's hope it stays low. One bright spot for this game, TT just put down a brand new turf just in time for this game. They also added a new LED lighting system. TT haven't had a lot time, practicing on this new field. It will be sort of new to the team. Maybe with the new field it will not be a disadvantage for the Ducks.

September 5, 20231 yr I expect the game will be hot for the first hour or so and then as the sun sets will cool off. If this were an afternoon game I would expect the heat to play a bigger factor but with a night game I doubt it will be a big deal. FYI TO ANYONE ATTENDING THE GAME, we are doing some major stadium renovations and it will cause delays getting into the stadium, especially since it's the first game and the staff will need to work out the kinks. I suggest showing up at least 15 minutes prior to when you think you need to be there.

I want to win but I also want Oregon fans to come here and have a good time and nothing is more frustrating than missing kickoff because you're waiting in line to get in the stadium. If anyone is traveling to Lubbock feel free to post any questions you may have and I'll do my best to help y'all have a good trip.

All towards a great game time experience. I had to move around a lot. One of the cities I lived in was Waco, TX.
September 5, 20231 yr Dear fellow Ducks fans: How often do you hear anything negative about Tex Tech fans? Now, compare that to what you hear about Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas St, ... The Ducks are playing a class program, a very prideful program who have very loyal fans. If you can attend, your interactions will be respectful. And, despite what happened in Laramie, a very tough opponent in Lubbock.

September 5, 20231 yr Administrator I know a couple of Red Raider fans, and they taught me to, 'Get your Guns Up." Passionate fans, and good people....just like the community here on the OBD forum. Mr. FishDuck

As if 97° on the field isn't enough, the Ducks will have to deal with the distraction of hooters. I understand they really like that stuff in Texas, though.
September 5, 20231 yr Does Oregon use the Coolmitt for its players? It would seem Oregon Football program would have all the tricks. If I was having to do something in that extreme heat I would be doing the Coolmitt and more!

September 6, 20231 yr Moderator No problem with weather, they just turn up heat and humidity in the Moshofsky for practice.
September 6, 20231 yr Our locker rooms will be temp trailers?! Anybody want to start a betting pool on the odds the AC "breaks" in one or more of them?
September 7, 20231 yr I am kind of surprised that more of you haven't engaged Red Raider with questions about Lubbock, the Raider team, places to eat etc. Maybe because not many Duck fans are traveling?? Over the past several years for OOC games of some consequence, a fan of the opposing team will get on the Dawg forum, ask questions, respond to Dawg fans' questions, and these end up as fun discussions. Some of these inter-fan exchanges have gone on all week, They are really kind of cool and always seem to quite civil. Most of the fans brave enough to hop on the opposing team's forums are typically quite knowledgeable about their team and can be valuable sources of information. Try it sometime, You might just like the discussions that ensue.

We'd love to visit Lubbock sometime. Just not this year. We've heard a lot about what a nice city it is. And Buddy Holly's museum! Good luck Saturday. Game on -
September 7, 20231 yr Fortunately, it won't be terribly hot on Saturday, and the humidity oddly won't be that bad -- around 35%. Plus, given that game time is at 6 CST, and sunset is at about 7, they should be playing in very little direct sunlight... which is great because direct sunlight increases the temp by about +12°. All in all, I just don't want to hear any excuses related to the weather.
September 7, 20231 yr I think the endzones are north and south. Should be some shade on the west sideline being that late in the day. Not sure what side the visitor sideline is though.

Not sure what side the visitor sideline is though. This is true. Most of the west side will be in shade for the whole game but the east side will still be very hot for the first hour or so. Visiting team's sideline will be in the sun but after the first hour it will be fine. I don't expect weather to play a big factor in this game. I've never said this before but I kind of wish it were an afternoon game and Tech could really take advantage of the 100 degree weather.

I would fully expect any home team to take advantage of whatever they can. Good gamesmanship I 🫡. Welcome to OBDF. Many ooc opposing teams fans have come. Some have stayed. Hope you find this forum welcoming, intelligent and insightful. Hope you become a fan of Oregon after your experience this week. Win or lose. They are a great team to follow. Enjoy the game.
