I am sure there will be several games pushed back because of the heat. Friday is supposed to be around 100*.
Kickoff Times Moved Back
- Thread starter Ftballfan16
- Start date
Northern MO a front will pass through around mid day but will still be in low to mid 90s I would expect sunset (8 PM) kickoffs to abound with several water breaks.
Those who have been attending games for awhile may remember Labor Day weekend 2011. Weather will be very similar to that. After sunset should cool off pretty fast - SCRATCH THIS the front will not arrive until after midnight. Extreme humidity will bank against it Friday evening and night sorry to say.

Moving games back. Pfft. Back in my playing days back in the 1930s we played through the heat and a water break was an ice cube and a sodium tablet.
Nowhere near the legal stuff we have today not to mention recent kid heat stroke major incidents. Count me all for the 8 PM Kickoffs and anyone who knows me knows I am nowhere near a "snowflake".
I am seeing 90 degrees high, down to 70s during game time as it stands now. No need to move anything.
Going to be significantly cooler on Saturday, could see some moving to Saturday night if they can get officials. Probably makes a couple kids eligible who skipped a practice too, lol.
Time to get the pickle juice ready! Lots of guys going down with cramps. The trainers will be busy.
Last I looked it's showing 102 in Joplin, ick. With the dewpoints in the mid 70s it won't cool off much after sunset it will just get extremely soupy. Kind of weather where you see lots of kids coming out with cramps and whatnot in the 3rd and 4th Q.
Heat compressing in front of the front yes unfortunately it will be very harsh down that way. No way to predict the cramps just do the best water and electrolyte preventives and see what happens................
Electrolytic fluid amen! K+ ion in particular............Time to get the pickle juice ready! Lots of guys going down with cramps. The trainers will be busy.

I have heard unofficially that all of the Springfield schools have moved their start times back.
Well at least all of the springfield teams will be ranked above all the 0-1 teams at 9pm.
By Wednesday I am guessing about 40-60% or more of the games will move back 1 hour. In the world we live in where they now cancel school before the snow falls unlike when some of us was young. I can see this being a no-brainer
It’s not just about the players. Cheerleaders, the band and fans will benefit. The coaches are older and man, have you seen how old the refs are nowadays?
Don’t even get me started on funnel cake makers….

I am not sure moving the games back is even going to help much. The story isn't just the temps it's the absurdly high dew points. I watched the news in Joplin last night and most of the area at 10pm was still in the 100-110 heat index range. Dew points in some towns were as high as 88 degrees! The scale they use to illustrate dew point tops out at 75 which they describe as "soupy".
Jay, OK which is in the Joplin media market hit a 127 degree heat index yesterday setting an all time high for the state.
I know some people are going to be all tough guy "who needs water breaks, back in my day we would have moved the game to 3pm just because" but this is a very extreme heat wave.

Cassville-Hollister was already scheduled for Saturday, but they have moved the kickoff from 1:00 to 7:00
Paying for the lush greenery and lots of rain we got in June and earlier this month! Hate to say but don't be shocked if this Heat Dome pulses back in circa Labor Day weekend.
Hannibal and Helias pushed to 8pm
Capital City and Warrensburg 8pm also
Capital City and Warrensburg 8pm also
They are moving games one hour later down here too. Since Week 1 has a lot of long road trips, this isn't going over too well.
We have two traveling to STL metro (Van Horn and the new to 11-man KIPP KC Legacy). The latter is actually going to be half hour or more past the Lou. Maybe they are overnighting there?
Rumor is Van Horn is getting a forfeit win. TDW didnt have enough practices per a source.
I remember when football used to be a "Fall" sport. WTH are we playing in August for
We will omit that game if that becomes official, everyone.
Because basketball has to be longer than any effing season ever…and they just refuse to back it up a few weeks. (This is written by a basketball coach)
It used to be worse. One week earlier to ensure everything ended in the Dome over Thanksgiving weekend. This was right after they got rid of the Wednesday-Monday playoffs.
It happened right after M$H$AA decided we needed a 15th game to determine a state champion.
They also used to have games on Tuesday nights the last week of the season. Play Friday and then turn around on Tuesday. Something about State Teacher Convention I believe.
Wow confessing I don't remember that. I do remember many games moving to Thursday because of the Wednesday first round of the playoffs.
Just out of curiosity how many games did they play in a season? When did the season finish?
