On Sunday, September 6, Marshall University hosted Purdue University in the football season opening game. The weather was reminiscent of summer with a high of 90 degrees, although the metal bleachers, AstroTurf, and asphalt made it much hotter. The temperatures were so high that several people were taken out of the game with heat poisoning and a triage was set up on the outside of the stadium with a steady flow of people receiving care from water to IV's. The sun and heat were so oppressive that I had to leave the game early and did not feel well the rest of the day. The next game, on September 12, was a completely different story. The recorded high was 64 degrees, which was the same as the recorded low the Sunday prior. It was rainy, chilly, and very much fall weather. The wind on 9/6 predominately came from the south east while on 9/12, the wind direction was north west. The barometric pressure also dropped from 30.2 inHg to 29.8 inHg.
