ND is going to melt.

Kansas State and Michigan State had their way with Miami on the road and those were noon games. **** Toledo and Central Michigan had this program up against it. Enough with the Miami has the advantage because of the weather bull****. If that was the case Miami would have won 1500 games in a row at home.

 

[MikeCane18]

It seems like at least 50% of the time, the Canes practice indoors anyway. Not sure it is as much of an advantage as it has been in the past.

We practice outdoors everyday. The warmup and a few periods the media sees are indoors. Then they go outside for the remainder of the practice unless the lighting alarms trigger.

The Miami Dolphins all time home record in hot September games is 54-32. .627 winning %

The Miami Dolphins all time away record in games above 40* at kickoff is 188-197. .488 winning %

The Miami Dolphins all time away record in games 40* or colder at kickoff is 25-48-1. 337 winning %.

Based on a data pool of 59 years.

Weather is a factor, even for Professional teams.

Who gives a poo about weather in South Bend? Why anyone would place a bet on a team with a QB who is a RS freshman, has never thrown a pass in a game, going to an away game against a top 10 opponent, at the madhouse that is their house, in the weather that is Miami?

The Dolphins were the winningest team in football during the regular season from 1970 - sometime in the '90s'. Could you provide the Dolphins' records in the above temps from 2000 - now? I'd be interested to see if there was that big of a swing.

I did 3 a days in Michigan after playing highschool in Broward. Never broke a sweat. Facts.

I agree, ND is going to melt... against this:

That would take some work.
But, I agree with you in that I think all three statistics would drop from 2000-2024.

But my point is that there is, over a long period of time, a pronounced difference in their play at home in heat, versus on the road and obviously much worse on the road in cold weather.

I did find this though.

The Dolphins currently have a 12 game losing streak in away games below 40*, so that stat is going to get much worse from 2000-2024.

Michigan State sure wasn’t bothered by it. And that was a noon game.

Michigan St wasnt bothered by it because we helped them

Exactly. When you give up 4 turnovers to none, it doesn’t matter what slight advantages you have.

 

[Caneman5100]

Like people have mentioned in this thread. The Miami weather sure didn’t bother Michigan St in 2021. And that was a noon game.

This is not the same Miami Team buddy

 

[Caneman5100]

41-8 since we are referencing the past

Agreed! Plus that offense wasn't built to put up points and come from behind. As I stated we go up 14-0 its curtains.

 

[NJshoreCane]

Everyone in that building is going to melt.

There's zero air flow in HRS. The humidity in the building will be in the 90's.
Add 65,000 bodies at 1,000 BTU per, that's 65 million humididious BTU's heating the place up...

and that's all good with me.

It's more humid at night.

 

[Canes Empire]

Turns out FAMU has a game at Hard Rock Saturday at 4:00pm in the pouring rain. Hope the field is fine for Sunday…

 

[JD08]

Anyone who's been to South Florida in the summer should know that there's definitely a difference. If it's a factor at all, it will be later in the game when dehydration starts to kick in and especially if depth is an issue.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

I don't necessarily agree. I mean, it's likely better for ND at 7:30 than noon but it's still hot. I went to the Coldplay concert the other night. I wasn't in pads or exercising and we were all sweating bullets. It gets muggy and nasty in there. I'm no meteorologist but there isn't much air flow in the stadium. I walked out to the concourse at one point to catch a breeze.

Liar. Everyone knows you walked out right before the Jumbotron Song...

Relax, my friend. It IS an advantage. It can be overcome as well. But it is a nice advantage to have for Game 1, given the way that the NCAA has limited the number of summer practices.
