Longhorn News/Discussion (Non-Recruiting)

Nothing to do with this but can anyone walk me through blocking someone on here? It’s best, or I’ll get kicked off for my cursing. And I kinda like it around here

you should be okay as long as you're not dropping F bombs. lol

Have to admit, I just gained some respect for Patterson.

If anyone would be in the know about AC, Patterson would be.

 

[BWilk55]

Case close thankfully. I posted elsewhere about this.

And to be fair Coach O never stated the AC wasn't working. He was asked in his Monday conference about the heat and rumors that AC wasn't working. He replied with 'we were warned about it by La Tech, brought our own units, etc...' His response didn't dispel the rumors but also didn't confirm. Seems like he was told that the locker room would get a little warm (much like my house being 80 degrees despite AC set to 74).

Here is the transcript from the press conference that started all this mess. I'll say that it was a poorly worded/leading question with a slightly poorly worded response followed by a lot of crappy journalism that led to a firestorm of stories that really amount to discuss an A/C problem most of us deal with in the summer.

Q. Can you talk about any hydration problem you had Saturday? Rumors were running around that there was no air conditioning in the dressing room. Can you set stuff straight?
ED ORGERON: First of all, I called Louisiana Tech, and they told us about it. So we did some things in the dressing room that were better. It wasn't great, but it was better. At least we had air in there. They didn't have air. We had some blowers in there. I don't think that caused as much as going out there and having to play 93 plays on defense. I think that had a lot to do with it.

Although it was hot, I thought -- I think the humidity was like 23 percent. It wasn't like Louisiana. But our guys did cramp up in the second half. We talked about it as a staff that we need to get some IVs, more IVs at halftime. Didn't seem like nobody needed one at that time, but to prevent that, I think that more guys will get IVs at halftime, obviously with the doctor's approval.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

More IVs? Not better conditioning? Why weren't Texas players dropping like flies? Because they're IN SHAPE.

It'll be a somber season the rest of the way for Okie Lite:

 

[lshorn79]

Their "cramping" issues seemed to be only among their defensive players.  Those guys weren't given enough water.  There's video of Chaisson stealing water from our bench before the game!   :lol:

I wouldn't even say that. Looking at the transcript, it was a leading question regarding there not being AC. He did not confirm nor deny that but did mention he was warned about it by La Tech. We now know that what he was warned about was it getting a little warm despite the AC so bring some extra.

It is really the media that is full of it. They took a leading question and a poorly worded response and wrote about it like fact.

Another thing...temperature comfort is subjective. Have you ever been in a room with a large crowd where everyone would agree on the thermostat setting?

Overshown out for this game with a bad back. Expect Adimora or Owens to replace him. Overshown was replacing BJ Foster, who is out.

And I read no time table for a return. Damnit. I know it’s football but this injury bug is a plague at Texas

Fortunately, its a deep position. And Adimora and Owens, while green, are exceptional athletes.
