Humidity and Altitude in Fayetteville ??

[bdan2002]

Interesting reading the Hogs board - they are talking about how the humidity (I thought Texas invented humidity) and altitude (didn't know that the town was built on Mount Fuji) were advantages for the team.

Please....

We have higher humidity/dew points.

they are about 800 feet higher than us.  We might feel it, but let’s not worry like they are Colorado Springs or something.

Too bad all that training in altitude didn't help them much when they went to COSt.

We have trained specifically for this type of game situation! After all we don’t have an IPF! (Yet) GMG

Mike Leach's view on altitude and a little bonus on Jackalopes

The only problem with altitude is going to be with all you out of shape UNT fans climbing the hill for a celebratory beer on Dickson Street.

Hasn't been that humid this week. Has been in the high 70's in the evening so it might be pretty nice.

The campus is pretty hilly but not sure the altitude is high enough to make any difference at all.

Fayetteville is 1401 feet. Denton is 642 feet. As someone from Texas, a pliot, lived in the Rockies before, played football at NT, also played in actual mountains, I am going to say that elevation post is completely hilarious in my opinion. If we were playing at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City then I'd hand it to the poster.

Also, does the geographical wizard who came up with the humidity idea think Denton, Texas is near El Paso or Big Bend? Or did they just get the idea that everywhere in Texas is desert as portrayed by Hollywood? 

My word people need to get out if their own zip code sometimes!!!

Go easy on them. It's not like they venture outside the state often. They have no reason to have basic map reading skills.

It is a joke. They are referring to playing in Colorado and some people blamed altitude for their loss. None of it is serious.

They are serious. This too is serious.

800 feet is about the same as a 80 story building if each floor is 10 feet on average.   So the altitude thing is nonsense.  Our guys work out in the summer and can take the heat and humidity.  Heck if it is 45% humidity and in the 80's or guys might think it is winter. just hope it is a sunny day, and our guys have got over the drops from last game. We cant afford to drop any passes against the hogs.

Midland is 2800 feet

We play El Paso and their airport is at nearly 4000 feet

NMSU Las Cruces 4500 feet
