Purdue does not have AC in Visitor Locker Room
Purdue has AC in their home locker room, but no AC in the visitor locker room.
This seems like a dirt bag move by Purdue.
Harbaugh had the starters sit in the team bus with the AC on, as opposed to the locker room.
Purdue is in the B1G and can afford AC in both. How common is this? It seems like there should be rules against it. If Purdue played us in late November in Ann Arbor, would it be okay to have the heat in their locker room just warm enough so the pipes don't freeze?

And this climate change doesn't help. 90+degree weather in late September.
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:15 PM ^
I hate when climate change lasts a week then goes away!
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:20 PM ^
It doesn't? You're thinking of weather.
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:21 PM ^
Shhh... you're not allowed to say rational things on this board without angering the imps.
September 24th, 2017 at 12:05 AM ^
I mean, I was excited to rant about how douchey Purdue is to let this happen.
But no. Gotta bitch about pro and anti climate change for 100 effing comments.
People- Purdue is super douchey for doing this and we can't seem to unite over it. That's a problem.
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:17 PM ^
Don't know how this is getting downvoted but yeah record breaking heat.
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:26 PM ^
Cause knuckle draggers believe science is run by lizard people or the devil or something
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:32 PM ^
It's not climate change, dumbass, it's the liberal commies with their chemtrails and fluoridated water and their Muslim Obamas...
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:40 PM ^
you missed a "cuck" somewhere
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:57 PM ^
That one has to be my favourite.

September 23rd, 2017 at 10:26 PM ^
we all know there was an ice age,"see great lakes" once carved by glaciers, so yeah the climate has changed and continues to change. Wait until the fucking sun burns out that will cause climate change too.
September 23rd, 2017 at 11:27 PM ^
holy fuck go read a study or two
September 24th, 2017 at 9:42 AM ^
gummin't!
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:19 PM ^
Weird. Because when there's an unseasonably cool period and realists use it to question the doomsday propagandists who steal money from the government to research a fake crisis, they are labeled science deniers and told that one random event doesn't prove anything.
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:25 PM ^
Take a science class and then take an English class.
He said "climate change doesn't help," not "climate change caused this."
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:33 PM ^
Would this agreement involve you taking a logic class?
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:38 PM ^
Ok; screw "climate change"... It's GLOBAL WARMING!!!! Hottest July AND August ever in Montana where I live along with record breaking forest fires and rapidly disappearing glaciers in Glacier National Park. Which is by no means the only proof we have from actual scientists. It's only increasing and we should ALL be alarmed. Whether we can do anything about it; I have no idea. But it's happening.
How the fuck can people still be questioning this?
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:45 PM ^
The antarctic ice shelf has grown. GLOBAL is the term, not northern hemisphere warming.
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:51 PM ^
Your information is not correct.
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:57 PM ^
NASA. Ok. It’s a 2015 study posted on their website. Look it up.
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:58 PM ^
My mistake, you seem to be correct that the Antarctic ice sheet has gained mass. That doesn't mean that anthropomorphic climate change is a hoax.
September 23rd, 2017 at 10:04 PM ^
You would have to be a fool to believe that human activity has had zero effect on our climate. But the current religion of science does not have enough data to prove how impactful that effect actually is nor where it is taking us.
And if the free market is allowed to prevail, fossil fuels will be obsolete within a couple of decades anyway.
September 23rd, 2017 at 10:13 PM ^
Not gonna get into the climate change debate, because honestly, no one is going to "win" here. But on your point about the free market, it that is ALL that guides us, fossil fuels are still far, far more economically efficient than alternative energy sources. If we let those prices drive the market, they will dominate energy for at least decades to come...
September 23rd, 2017 at 10:25 PM ^
I don't know how many decades it will take, could be two, could be ten, but I do know that there are people in the third world who live on pennies a day who burn cow shit to keep themselves warm and pump tons of CO2 into the atmosphere while I sit in my air conditioned man cave watching football on a 90 inch screen, and those folks don't give a fuck about where the climate is going. They just want to live to tomorrow. My point is, there are far more important things we could be investing our resources in.
September 23rd, 2017 at 11:08 PM ^
no body can do anything about it
September 23rd, 2017 at 10:52 PM ^
It's too damn hot outside.
Fix it science people.
September 23rd, 2017 at 11:22 PM ^
It's been well below average in Cali. See how that works.
September 23rd, 2017 at 11:59 PM ^
San Francisco shattered the all time record at 104. Prior record was 100 . Out in the rest of the Bay Are records fell for 2 weeks straight. In my 30+ years the we have never been over 106 where I live. The high was over that for several days.
September 24th, 2017 at 9:48 AM ^
Definitely not cooler
September 23rd, 2017 at 10:32 PM ^
The science on climate change is in fact really really good. And we should take the predictions of climate scientists very seriously.
Go look up hansen's 1981 paper.
Then meditate on this. Scientists predicted the time and location of the eclipse well enough so that millions of people drove through insane traffic jams to go where they could see it.
Then consider the predicitions of weather scientists about the strength and landfall of harvey, irma, and maria.
But you think climate scientists dont know what they are talking about? Sorry, no sane person would believe your position, bruh.
September 23rd, 2017 at 11:27 PM ^
The problem is meteorologists, they are alledgedly highly educated with a strong background in science, but when they say its "85 Sunny with 0% chance of precipitation" and its 65 and raining, its hard to take them seriously. I mean they don't need million dollar equipment, they need a gosh darn window.
Why don't they have windows?
September 24th, 2017 at 10:42 AM ^
it's the meteors.
THE SKY IS FALLING, PEOPLE !!!
September 23rd, 2017 at 11:03 PM ^
by turning off visitors AC, good or evil?
September 23rd, 2017 at 11:54 PM ^
sounds like one of those wierd Christian sects there. Science is clearly not religion. Religion requires faith, i.e. even if observation demonstrates otherwise THIS IS THE WAY IT IS. Science does not care about faith, if the observations support something different , the observations are correct.
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:59 PM ^
You don't get to pick and choose data from one hemisphere if you're arguing global sea ice loss. See my other comment; sea ice is diminishing worldwide.
September 23rd, 2017 at 10:02 PM ^
He appears to be caught up on the term " global warming," of course it can't be real if everywhere on Earth isn't heating at the same rate.
September 23rd, 2017 at 10:22 PM ^
To the question with arguing against your point. Again: the question was how do people still question this? The answer (or at least AN answer) is because the Antarctic shelf is growing, which it is. I didn’t say anything about how to apply it. I can’t help that.
September 23rd, 2017 at 10:05 PM ^
But there's nothing to see here -- let's burn more coal.
September 23rd, 2017 at 10:06 PM ^
NASA:
“Even though Antarctic sea ice reached a new record maximum this past September, global sea ice is still decreasing,” said Claire Parkinson, author of the study and climate scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. “That’s because the decreases in Arctic sea ice far exceed the increases in Antarctic sea ice.”

I am a scientist, so I looked it up.
September 23rd, 2017 at 9:55 PM ^
I've heard all of the talking points. Fact is; global sea ice is diminishing.
https://www.nasa.gov/content/goddard/nasa-study-shows-global-sea-ice-di…
September 23rd, 2017 at 10:00 PM ^
The Antarctic. I get it. There are still gains in the south. The question was how do people still question it. I answered that.
September 23rd, 2017 at 10:05 PM ^
Not really. You provided one example that doesn't demonstrate global trends.
How can people without full knowledge of a subject disagree with the overwhelming majority of experts within a field? Answer: they can't, at least not with any credibility.
September 23rd, 2017 at 10:09 PM ^
We live in a time when people's feelings supercede peer reviewed data.
#Sad
September 23rd, 2017 at 10:11 PM ^
When you say "overwhelming majority of experts" you're referring to people who have to periodically apply for grants in order to keep their careers afloat, correct?
September 23rd, 2017 at 10:20 PM ^
I'm usually easy going about people going full anti-intellectual but let's be perfectly clear here: are you seriously questioning the legitimacy of peer reviewed academic work as a construct?
Next time you go in for surgery, take a medicine, get a vaccine (or maybe you don't, right? due to that bs science from grant recipients?), put fertilizer on the lawn, gas in the car or just buy some ground beef you can thank a peer reviewed, grant receivng scientist for keeping their career afloat. Hey, you're welcome tho...
September 23rd, 2017 at 10:32 PM ^
Yeah I am. Wife is a doctor who used to do research at UofM, then Pfizer. I'm not just basing this off some twisted prejudice.
Which brings me back to my original point that it annoys the heck out of me that if you question the doomsday "science" You are somehow anti-science. Isn't questioning the most scientific thing you can do?
September 23rd, 2017 at 10:37 PM ^
Small sample size for you there, right?
I'll periodically try to "keep my career afloat"...
September 23rd, 2017 at 10:42 PM ^
Well you called me anti-intellectual, more or less, so your intellectual brain obviously missed my point.
But really all I'm trying to say is, I'm not questioning anthropomorphic climate change at all. But the idea that it is happening at apocalyptic levels is a non sequitur to me. I don't buy it at all, and I'm certainly not willing to destroy our economy over it.
September 23rd, 2017 at 10:46 PM ^
Nah, you're just one of those smart, dumb types. Duly noted.
September 23rd, 2017 at 10:49 PM ^
That is entirely possible.
