Take a look at Stanford’s stadium for game 1:
They announced attendance of 23K, but who are they fooling?
Generously, there were maybe 12K butts in the stands at best.

They also don’t have students on campus yet. One of my athletes is going there for academics, and he leaves this week.

Los Angeles in summer
Dry by comparison.
• Average relative humidity in July: ∼61% 
• Annual average is around 64%, but summer afternoons often drop into the 50s. Today’s NWS normals show afternoon averages around 55%. 
LA is Mediterranean. The Pacific is cool, air is drier, and even when it’s 85°F, the dew point is low — around 51-60°F — so sweat actually evaporates and it feels like the thermometer says.
Houston / Texas Gulf Coast — including your area
Humid subtropical and much wetter.
• June: ∼74% average humidity 
• July: ∼71% average humidity 
• August: ∼70% average humidity 
And that daily average hides the swing:
• Mornings average over 90% relative humidity 
I never denied Houston is more humid but the humidity is a factor in LA summers, especially considering it’s such a change from the rest of the year…
It’s wasn’t cool, it was hot AF
The temperature at kickoff inside the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for the USC versus San Jose State game was 94 degrees Fahrenheit, with a real-feel or heat index reaching up to 104 to 110 degrees
That doesn’t sound any better than Houston right now

Ah, I see.
Just looked it up.
Stanford is one of the few undergraduate schools out there that is still on the QUARTERS system.
We’ll see if their attendance picks up. I’m guessing they’ll have more for their Sep. 7 Miami game, if for no other reason than that they’ll have a higher profile opponent; we’ll see what they get for Ga Tech on Sep. 26th once all the students are in class.
Still though. Any P4 team with attendance that looks like that…is looking pretty BAD, REGARDLESS of the class schedule.
Where did you read that? Also, how often do they have crowds like that? Compared to UH’s crowd?

Other than introducing the link as a “backslash”, when it appears to be a “foreword” slash, that was one of the best previews I have seen Ryan.
Fantastic stuff!
Go Coogs.

Willie makes it public that Myles Rowser is clear to practice. I can say that Rowser began practicing on Friday before the team had the weekend off.

Stephon Johnson and Myles Rowser were officially added to the Houston Football roster today. Their eligibility is still up in the air, and roster status doesn’t determine who can (or can’t) play.

USC fans can’t stand him. He should have been fired last season. If USC is not in the cfp he is gone. He has had plenty of times to succeed especially with Indiana winning it last season.
Have you gone to a game at the Coliseum or the Rose Bowl in August or September? Its a cauldron.
What you are describing is a The Marine Layer that is in play from 6am to about 9/10am along…the coast. Yes this marine layer is due to the deep Pacific Ocean coastal areas. The deep cold water mixing with higher temperature creates that “buffer”. At times Mike you drive five miles inland from the coast and you go from low 70’s to 100’s. I do not know of any other place like this.
