Twenty-four days in August over 100 degrees. A high of 104 Thursday, when 36 Oklahoma high school teams kicked off their season. A high of 102 Friday, when almost 300 other squads played. It's the same forecast for today, when OU hosts Texas-El Paso at the world's largest brick oven. Cover yourself with mozzarella.
Every little bit helps.
Now you know why football is a fall sport. People will fall like flies. This is getting ridiculous. There's only one remedy, short of doming every field from Shattuck to Spiro. Start the season later.
