Alabama has the marquee matchup, travelling to Baton Rouge to take on LSU in a night game in Death Valley. The winner of this one is in the driver's seat to win the West and get a slot in the SEC Championship Game. It will be the 3rd time the Tide and Tigers have met in the last 12 months.

But increased awareness and other factors have led to alarming increases in reports of concussions at high school athletic events — so much so that Alabama has joined others in making laws to protect athletes. And the message is this:

Holy Heat Wave Batman! 5 ways to keep you cool!

Holy Heat Wave Batman! 5 ways to keep you cool!

The next couple of days are looking brutal as we go through weekend. If you are not heading to the lake or the pool this weekend, your options in staying cool are limited. After all if you stay at home, eventually is going to get boring and the book you been meaning to finish will be finished...hopefully. I have some other options to beat the heat.

1. Time to break out Rock Band! You remember that game right? You slap the bass, have your buddy plays lead guitar, your roommate who is always mad at you beating on the drums, and find someone comfortable enough to sing in front of the rest of the group. With a huge library of songs to play from the game or download, this game will last for hours. Depending on the songs that are played, this could be a family fun affair! You could even have theme parties where everyone has to dress like a rocker or the decade. Let your imagination run wild on this.
