Official statement:

The sky is still blue today.

I noticed the sky getting dramatically less blue later in the day. Is there an official statement to help all those affected by this color change?

It's just a darker hue of blue.

I sit mockingly behind my computer... isn't that the texags way?

No, I meant where are your seats at Kyle Field going to be for 2015 and beyond, if you know?

Oh... I haven't experienced the bouncing yet, but most likely will next season... but that's not my point... I just like official statements of non-issues.

Object as non-responsive.

My official statement is that I live in Seattle but have tried to make it to back to a game at Kyle each of the past few years, but I don't have my own personalized butt seats to call my own.

Sorry to hear that gravy. I really do wish you could make it to more games at Kyle, and hopefully you will be able to in the future. I may have some extras.

I can assure you that to a number of people sitting in and under the SEZ second deck the concern is not a non-issue at present. The concerns have been documented. We could be concerned about only a comfort level issue, but that has not been established. If there is not a safety or structural integrity issue, which is my hope but not my knowledge at this point, it should be so stated based on an engineering review. This can then be put to rest.

Gig 'Em to all, and to all a good day. I'm out.

Magnum, who at the university has been notified about this so far?

I'm sure you've mentioned it, just don't want to go back through the thread.

fooz, I have sent a letter and emails to Chancellor Sharp (the project is financed by System bonds), Dr. Hussy (interim university president), President Young, Sam Torn (Kyle Field Committee co-chair), and Skip Wagner (president of the 12th Man Foundation). Others have notified some or all of the same people.

Edited to add that my letter was sent 12/5/14.

I am concerned that water is no longer wet.

Can we get a scientific panel to give an official statement?
gravy97

I agree Rebel... the problem with water, is that even though it starts out wet, it quickly dries.

For example, this morning I showered, was literally covered with water and was scientifically very wet, but within minutes of being out of the shower, i was no longer wet.

Care to officially tackle that one, science????????

Gravy, you and Rebel bring up and interesting point....

Scientifically speaking, Water is a compound of Oxygen and Hydrogen. they are on your skin but underwater the water particles are still in there molecular pattern and when you get out some of the water particles are on you and slow escape in to the air.

So the body in the water isn't really wet until out of the water.

However, consider water maybe isn't wet. Wetness is a description of our experience of water; what happens to us when we come into contact with water in such a way that it impinges on our state of being.
But if you subscribe to that theory, you ignore that water is wet, in the sense of being a liquid which flows easily. This is because its viscosity is low, as its molecules are rather loosely joined together. The sensation of wetness is largely due to the cooling caused by evaporation, and water has a rather high latent heat of vaporization, which is the amount of heat it removes from its surroundings in order to convert liquid water into water vapor.

The reason it feels as it feels when water touches the skin is actually a complex electro-chemical reaction which works at amazing speeds. The sensory inputs are a combination of:

1. Your body's pH at that moment
2. The water's pH
3. Your body's temperature at that moment
4. The water's temperature
5. The atmospheric pressure
6. Molecular polarity

I'm not sure we're to a point where we can definitively make a statement as to water's wetness.

You are no less wet in the water than just after you are removed from the mass of water. Water can't be wet because wet is the feeling that we experience touching a solid object that's coated in a thin layer of water molecules, and because water isn't a solid it can't fit into the definition, you could say that ice is wet, a table is wet, but not water is wet, or air is wet. Naturally once you put your finger into the water to test if it's wet then your finger is wet, giving the impression water must be wet. I see where you may be lead astray though.

This issue is of interest to me as my 2015 and beyond seats will be on the 1st deck West side between the 20 and endzone. When selecting my seat I'd like to make sure I have a good view of the SEZ movement but not in the fallout zone where the truss/cantilevered beam/big chuck of concrete attached to a steel frame to give way.

Does anyone know if I should be concerned about selecting a seat in the south endzone area of the west deck?

Your seat prolly needs to be on the throne.

Based on the above bolded portion, a table that has water on it is not wet until someone touches the water that's on the table.

I hope my post doesn't derail this thread.

p.s. I sit in the SEZ 3rd level.

Has she experienced any vertical dynamic deflection on anything as if yet?

Wet is a condition, a state of being if you will, applied to an object. As the definition says it means to be soaked in liquid. If my shirt is covered in water, it is wet. If the street has rain water on it, it is wet. However, water cannot be wet. Water is the thing that makes things wet by covering it. The water itself is not wet as wet is the condition of being covered in water. Water cannot be covered in water as water is just water. Furthermore, water cannot be covered in any other liquid either as the liquids either separate or mix. But water itself cannot be wet.
