Water Break

Scrimmage games this week - 95*F, 90% humidity, no breeze, no rain, just dust. The air is so heavy, it feels like someone stuffed a wet dishrag in your mouth.

Down here in Louisiana we stop play mid-way through each period so the players, and the officials, can catch their breath, and get some fluids. We don't interrupt a drive, but as soon as we have a change of possession we take a break.

I'm not complaining because up there in Indiana, come November, there will be a heavy frost on the pumpkins. We will have temps in the 40s & 50s.
