 Sherrill hot about cool vests

 By From Our Press Services
 August 27, 2003

 Mississippi State football coach Jackie Sherrill is miffed that Nike has
 provided Oregon with experimental vests the Ducks might use Saturday 
night to
 help stay cool when they play the Bulldogs in what figures to be warm and
 humid conditions.

 Sherrill said Mississippi State, which also has a contract with Nike, 
wasn't
 offered the equipment until he asked about it.

 The product, which was developed by Oregon-based Nike, is worn under the
 shoulder pads and weighs slightly more than a T-shirt. When connected 
to a
 sideline compressor, the bladder-like device blows helium into the
 players, according to Sherrill.

 That helium just ain't right, said Sherill to reporters Monday. 
That Auburn
 punter tried that a few years back but we caught on to his little game.

 Nike spokemen said Tuesday the vests were designed to pump 
dehumidified air
 onto the players, helping cool them. No helium was being used.

 They think we're stupid you know, responded Sherill. C'mon, man,
 dehumidified air? Like hell. They pumpin' helium in those boys to 
help 'em
 jump high and block kicks and stuff. 

 Nike product scientist Alvin Haynes refuted Sherill's accusation as 
baseless.

 We are intrigued by Coach Sherrill's grasp of physics and the laws 
of gravity
 but we maintain that the vests are primarily for cooling, not an attempt
 at creating an artificial levitation advantage for the Oregon 
players. said
 Haynes.

 Saturday's forecast calls for a high temperature of 91 degrees and a 
low of 68
 with a possible thunderstorm mixed in. Winds are expected to be 20-30mph
 from the south and southwest.

Ah HAH, said Sherrill. Wind! THAT¹S gonna be their undoing! Them Ducks
 didn't figure on wind!

I hope that MSU pulls out the upset.  I don't want any outsiders beating up
on the SEC.  It makes us look like wimps.  I want the other conferences
dread coming down here, even to play Vandy.

RTR!

 I do not doubt that Oregon will beat MSU...however, if I were a coach this
 would bother me also.
 As a matter of a fact I think King Jackie would be betting against his
team
 if the Ducks get to stay cooler ;-)

 Mr. Rice?

 HaY! COKE BOY! He's talking to EWE!

 Now...

 Oregon is going to wax MSU's ass with, or without cool
 thingies. Probably worse with the cool vests, though.
 We have employees in our foundry who wear something
 very similar and I can attest that it is a real
 difference maker. I don't know of anything other than
 disease that will sap the energy from your body faster
 than heat will. Jackie's boys might want to go ahead
 and start practicing their pig squeals.

  I have to admit I would be a little ticked also.
  MSU is already going to be under the gun with the
 talent Oregon has and then
  to keep their players cooler is just that much more
 of an advantage.
  What do you think Mr. Rice?
