When I first read we were playing APP ST I thought "Wow, we are scheduling a video game."
They can bring the altitude, our Canes will bring the Attitude .

Reading that effects can be felt starting st 1500m above sea level. Boone sits at about 1000m.

But also read that in running, NCAA make allowances for race results at altitude. "When attempting to qualify for a 10K championship race, for example, in Boone, NC (3,300’), collegiate men receive a 30 second adjustment; in Boulder, CO (5,200’), the allowance is 64 seconds; 10,000 meters on Northern Arizona University’s track in Flagstaff, AZ, (6,900’) is given a 99 second improvement; and while in Gunnison, CO (7,700’), runners lop off two full minutes from their posted time."

NO factor whatsoever.

Visited on a recruiting trip in 1984, played two two set matches against a couple of their Tennis players, then played pickup hoops with basketball team for 2 hours.

No factor. Whatsoever.

We'll more than make up for it by not playing in the oppressive SFL heat and humidity. We'll wear those guys down and run circles around them by the 3rd quarter.
