...after they invent an air-conditioned bubble suit for me to wear, kidding. I've always wanted to experience Mardi Gras,.. who knows, one of these days I might just show up at "Cafe Gentilly".
The article is only missing one more tidbit. The fact that some of the most beautiful brunettes in the country reside in Louisiana, and love LSU football.
I'll put in a word with the AD to schedule the ducks in Baton Rouge in the next few seasons for ya'. Maybe late in the season so it isn't as hot.
Not necessary, non conference game, ESPN would pick it up and show it in prime-time. CBS only selects and moves conference games.
I was having a twitter war with a fla fan. he said it was hotter in gainesville. i checked and the temp in BR was 86..Gainesville was 82. So, he says it's more humid in fla. After i got off the floor from laughing, i checked that stat. 41% humid in fla, 56% in BR. i never heard from him again.
I will tell you that graduating from LSU and attending UF for one semester, both are very hot. I think day games in Gainesville feel hotter because the area and the stadium are in a bowl and there is almost never wind to cool you down. Hot and humid is still hot and humid. I think UF doesn't have as many night games due to a smaller number of hotels and less local attendees. The folks from Jacksonville, Orlando and Tampa don't want to drive home that late.
From going to Orlando for a week to ten days three out of the last four years, I will say that the central Florida heat and humidity is, actually, different from Louisiana heat and humidity. It feels hotter during the day, but it cools down better at night. It's interesting the way that humidity varies so much from one place to another. In Dallas, 50% humidity is considered high--which is laughable anywhere near the Gulf Coast. In Boston last summer, we enjoyed the heck out of a cool, 72-degree July Saturday, only to turn around to an 82-degree day with high, high humidity the next day, which felt as hot as Orlando at 92 degrees the month before.
