Yes, I always imagined I'd be looking for public stock photos of A/C units for a college football blog.

Friday Roundup: The HVAC Edition

So when Ed Orgeron said that Texas cut off the air conditioning to the visitors' locker room, it sounded plausible even if it bordered on the bush-league absurd (even moreso than Weis' tactic of letting the grass in ND Stadium grow to absurd lengths).
