After just seeing the heat overtake one of the ladies in the U.S. Open Women's Semi-final, on a hot day here in the northeast, I'm thinking about the heat factor on the game tomorrow.Â
Germany used the Stanford-invented cooling gloves to reduce the body temps of the players at half-time in the hot Brazilian climates at the World Cup. Will Stanford's football team be using the gloves at half-time tomorrow, while the U$C players resort to troglodyte technology like cold towels and misting machines?
I think it's worth mentioning because it's suppose to be 82 tomorrow. The teams will be playing in the heat of the day, under the sun most of the time. These two haven't played at this time of day for a while. Every meeting I can remember in the last 6-7 years was kicked off at or later than 3:30 local time, when the heat hasn't been a factor. It could be tomorrow, and the Stanford cooling glove could be an unsung difference maker, right?
