"Truly sad. I taught at ASU in 1988-89, when ASU had a strong team. One thing I have to comment on, however, is that various places have described ASU as a fine academic institution. Though that is correct for the grad programs (many of which are outstanding), the undergraduate population was not great. But alas, the woman were knock-out gorgeous, and since it was usually over 80 degrees, they wore next to nothing. Walking around campus was a joy (but hazardous to one's neck). You have to accept the positives and the negatives in this world."
They've made huge strides in their undergraduate programs in the last 20 years, but everything else is pretty much the same.

I lived in Houston for 15 years, and yes, it's worse than St. Louis.
But not by much.

BTW, I think I might be coming out to Colorado (Rocky Mountain National Park) in June.
Rad... you still looking to climb Long's Peak?

I'm officially not jealous of you for the next three months.
Tulsa gets pretty rough by June or so. Not quite as bad as STL but still pretty bad.
Thrill: Now that I have lived here a year and a half or so I am completely used to it. It has to hit 105 to 110 to even begin to bother me without the humidity present. The only time it really sucks is when you are in your car and you have to have the AC on high all the time.
When I was there for the PGA Championship last August it was horrendous. 100+ everyday. But like some of the others, St. Louis in August can be just miserable. You can feel like you need to shower again about 2 hours after you take one, no matter what you're doing.

When in June? I'm coming through Colorado when I drive back through Illinois and I'm trying to decide where to camp. I definitely wouldn't be up for going from 0ft to 14000+ but I'd get some drinks with you guys when you come down.

I was in St. Louis last August for those scorching 100+ degree days. My wife went out for a ride after the game to see our old house in St. Peters after dinner, it was 9:00 at night at still over 100. The sunroof was open, and driving down the highway it literally felt like a hairdryer on the back of your neck.
