I was in New Orleans in August about a decade ago. It was 110 with 90% hummidity. It was the most awful thing I had ever experienced. Miami, for the record, rarely gets about the high 90s due to the ocean breeze.

Such a big reason to get kids from the South up to Boulder during the summer. Like that one article mentioned, referring to Huntley and Julmisse, Colorado's 95 degrees feels like 75 to those kids.Dude. I went to High School down there. Practices were held in awful conditions in the summer the season started. FHSAA opens practices around Aug 1. Back then you were'nt allowed to get water at some schools too. Ive been to night games in September where it was still 80+ degrees and 90% humidity. Those kids are used to playing in those conditions.
Sweeting is a way of life for Floridians. Thats why I moved away
I agree that should be a selling point. But, see below
There are just some kids that cant afford to go to a CU camp. The great thing about the sattelite camp is that allows us to get someone like Chev or Leavitt directly in contact with kids to identify someone that might 2-3 years down the road available to us as well as the ones available for next class. Plant some nice seeds. Let the kids know there are schools out there beyond SECland.
Yeah I used to live in Tampa for a while and still visit family in Cape Coral for vacation a ton. Trust me I know how hot it is haha.Dude. I went to High School down there.

@FlaBuff could give you a lot of insight on this since he played and coached football down there.

Oh, I agree; I was just saying in general, it's big for this program to get the kids from FL, GA, LA and TX to just come visit and get them to realize they don't have to suffer in that awful weather any longer. That selling point doesn't quite stick the same with the CA kids.
Miami was there with Tini.I looked up the all time record for New Orleans and it was only 104 F.

Yep playing in Texas wasn't exactly pleasant. Then lift after and those ****ers would turn the heaters on. You'd get arrested for that now but it did make us tougher.

It made you something... not sure tougher
FIFY
Now that I'm thinking about it, would love the NCAA to approve each kid to be able to take his official visits (and thus paid for) over the summer, and make it a camp experience.
No conflict with school or football season.
Why not allow a kid to narrow his choices and then go to a camp and actually be coached by the staff that he is committing to for 4-5 years? It's a big damn decision!
I played in Arizona and I can vouch that we'd get pretty much every kid we wanted to visit from that sun scorched hell-hole.

Damn you! it was MFing hot. Memory + Age + Alcohol. Forgive me.
Edit: I think were both wrong. The all-time hottest temperature ever recorded in New Orleans is 102 degrees which occurred on August 22, 1980. The hottest temperature ever recorded in the state of Louisiana is 114 degrees, which occurred on August 10, 1936 in Plain Dealing.

That sollution worked for us. Those shops with the slurpee machines full of daquri or pina colada or rum runner were a god send. MFer was hot that day.

Nope. Salt tablets were a real thing back in the day to replace sodium you sweated out was what the coach said.
Or maybe Moses brought them down from the mount.

I think they were replaced by Gatorade.
