#13 Oregon @ Texas Tech (Sept. 9, Sat 4 PM FOX)

Ca. You imagine the injuries a damaged, true a/c unit could potentially cause in an enclosed environment like a football helmet?
Talk about a maintenance nightmare!

I’m trying to figure out how they even put a tiny fan in it. My helmets always gave me a huge headache the first week of two a days, and I’d have a red indent on my forehead for a couple hours after practice everyday until about 2 weeks of wearing the thing.

Most of The Athletic writers and podcasters are picking this as Texas Tech upsetting Oregon. For whatever that’s worth.

With the talk about heat, I saw last week LSU wore helmets with AC built in. Do we have those also?

I have no idea if the Ducks use it or not, but this article explains the technology behind it and says a few other programs have inquired about using it. I think describing it as a very small fan inside the helmet, that circulates air, is more accurate than what most people would consider actual AC in the helmets.

How is this legal if they banned our vented vests for players 20 years ago? Is it just that the NCAA is so toothless they no longer care? Or does LSU provide their opponents with helmets now?

Bladeless flat fan, cr2032 lithium battery, air intake in the back, air channeled by the padding segments. Seems like it would be easy and cheap.

I have been wearing those neck collar fans this summer on the 90 degree days while building our new mega catio. They work pretty well.

They're an aftermarket product that attaches inside the helmet via velcro. Anyone can buy them. Those vests now are legal since the old school mentality of coaches and administrators isn't there any more.

I think it is time to expect our team to show up every game and go out and execute efficiently. It would be nice to not have that dreaded feeling in my gut before most every game. I think The Daninator has us on the verge of being that sort of team.

Gonna take a while to rid the taste of Mario not having the team ready for games on the road. I know he won Ohio State but I also remember road games like Washington State and Arizona in 2018, Oregon State in 2020, and Utah in 2021.

Temperature in the mid 90s at kickoff, 80s for the second half, and low humidity. Good football weather, probably what they have been practicing in all fall.

They've been saying that since before the season started. I wouldn't read into it too much.

We're much more talented and deeper than TT. If we can execute and make proper adjustments during the game, I think we'll be fine.

I do think that we have to keep constant pressure on Shough. Don't let him get too comfortable in the pocket.

[UofDuck]

Remember the deer in the headlights look Shough used to have when the game got too big for him? Need to get to him early and that look will resurface and then it’s lights out.

Lots of green and yellow BO signs in Tuscaloosa this morning.
