Open Thread: Jeremy Sochan is concerned with the heat in San Antonio

A heat wave in the Alamo City prompts Sochan the Destroyer to speak out

If you live in the San Antonio area, you know we are in a heat advisory. It is extreme, and dangerously so.

In general, Texas summers are hot, but this is that elevated pocket where newscasters remind people not to leave pets and children in cars, to check on elderly and ill, and to reach out to people who do not have adequate air conditioning.

Well, apparently it’s so hot that Jeremy Sochan felt the need to post a video on social media.

“Guys got an update on the heat. It’s six p.m….six-fifteen, something like that, and it’s f*cking — sorry for my language — 41 degrees Celsius. I don’t know what that is in Fahrenheit, guessing like a hundred and something. It is not normal it is not acceptable. Texas, get right.”

41 degrees Celcius calculates to 105.8 degrees Fahrenheit. My gauge read 111 at one point yesterday.

Keep in mind that Sochan was born in Oklahoma but raised in England. He did play college ball up the road in Waco at Baylor University, but likely was not subject to the summer heat in his lone year.

Now a member of the San Antonio Spurs, Sochan lives here and works out throughout the summer.

Sochan spent part of his summer in hopes of playing in the Paris Olympics. The qualifying games (Poland did not make the cut) were in Greece, Latvia, Puerto Rico and Spain, all substantially cooler than what Texas is experiencing this week.

Stay cool out there!
