I scoff at your scoff.

Dallas, where I regrettably reside, had 100 days over 100 in 1980. It doesn't max out like Phoenix, but makes up for it in ugly.

Nights don't cool down as much here on the humid prairie, either.

Honolulu hot doesn't scare me.

Damn right. Can't wait to make good on that. Awesome news, Chippy!

I'm seriously considering being there as well.

Hawaii doesn't get that hot. Chances are that it'll be in the high 80's with a shower coming through in the afternoon.

Hawaii game at 4:15/8:15 MST on ESPN2. That helps a little.

Stayed at the Ko Olina a time or two. Great location; highly jealous right now.

you can see that hotel from the airplane real easy if you are flying in from Kauai. :lol: If I go, I will be sleeping on a friends couch. Not so nice. Cheaper though.

Satyed there a couple years back and it was great! I played the Ko Olina golf course too and it was beautiful

Ko Olina is also closer to the stadium than Waikiki is. It's just on the other side of Pearl Harbor if my memory serves.

Might not be closer, but it is a straight shot rather than all the lights and traffic in town. (there'll still be traffic, but that is just how Oahu is . . . )

Sounded like a challenge, so I googled it - Dallas had a record 42 consecutive days over 100 in 1980 (69 total). Pretty hot, but...

Here are some fun Phoenix 100 degree facts from NOAA:
Average annual number of days with maximum temperatures of 100 of higher 1896-2006: 92
Average annual number of days with maximum temperatures of 100 of higher 1971-2000: 106
Least number of days with maximum temperatures of 100 or higher: 48 in 1913
Greatest number of days with maximum temperatures of 100 or higher: 143 in 1989
Greatest number of consecutive days with maximum temperatures of 100 or higher: 76 in 1993

But we can go beyond that...
Average annual number of days with maximum temperatures of 110 of higher 1896-2006:� 10
Average annual number of days with maximum temperatures of 110 of higher 1971-2000: 17
Least number of days with maximum temperatures of 110 or higher: 0 in 1911
Greatest number of days with maximum temperatures of 110 or higher: 32 in 2007
Greatest number of consecutive days with maximum temperatures of 110 or higher: 18 in 1974

When I hate it the most is when it never goes below 100, day or night. But you can sort of get used to 100, it's the 110+ days that make it hard to breathe outside. Yes, Phoenix is hotter, longer. Which is why I'm going to be retiring in Hawaii in a few... (BTW, we hit 100 on 4/1 this year, no fools, and it's supposed to get back there today by some reports - others have it at 99.)

All I can say is unless you are in prison, get the **** out of there. Sam Kinison had some advice on that matter.

Great niche job == prison of sorts.

@Z - That's some hot chit in Phoenix. Way hotter than Dallas. Yikes. Why do people live there, again?

In Dallas's defense as a more craptasitc city than Phoenix, I'd add a lack of easy access to the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Flagstaff, Sodona/Red Rocks and various national parks. Plus there is the issue of Texans....


Back on topic - I believe a 4:15 kickoff in Honolulu will, in comparison, be doable in spite of "the heat."

I believe what he said was "We have deserts in America but nobody f***ing lives there!!! Oh OOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!"

Of course, he conveniently forgot about Phoenix, Tucson and Las Vegas.
