Can anyone explain exactly what the discussion about LOX inlet temp is
about?

The LOX inlet feed temps are predicted to be too high by about half a
degree late in the count; if that occurs (and it apparently might not),
there will be an automatic hold at T-31 seconds. The engineers believe
that normal drain-back at such a hold will drop the inlet feed temps to
the specified range within about a minute. The launch team is prepared
for such a hold and the procedures necessary to restart the count
quickly once the temp issue is resolved have been discussed and agreed
upon.
