cardhorn, I live in Austin (much less Houston), and I think Appel is from Houston originally despite having graduated from Monte Vista HS in northern California.  I also agree that the difference is significant.  I think if it hadn't been finals season, Marquess would have been able to take his team out to Tallahassee with enough time to acclimate to the weather.  Also, note the rainout of game two--lots of moisture in the air there :(
