I'm just glad their back in smeltering heat.

I vaguely remember them using Southeastern Univ 86-87. About as close as it gets to bare bones living conditions and the heat was scorching if I remember, a lot of cramps and dehydration issues. Defense was great but that was the Dome Patrol era so hard to gauge. Those guys were just good but it did seem like it had an effect on them. Probably have to ask them if they think it helped or hurt. There was also no indoor facility so not sure what they did when it rained.

Mora said he found the team ran outta gas at the end of the season...

...definitely wasn't his predictable, conservative play calling...
