Got in this conversation last night. We were discussing how the opener is always hot as balls, but then got to talking about late season colder games and realized it has been a while.

I do remember heavy jackets and hot chocolate smuggled in a thermos, but for the life of me I could not tell you when. Seems like it has been a long time. What is the last really cold game you can recall taking place in Tiger Stadium?

(For the tree huggers, this is not a veiled attempt to start a global warming discussion)

31-0 was the coldest I've ever been to and it sucked as bad as the score.

I remember the game against Notre Dame in the late 90s was cold, wet, and absolutely miserable.

The Auburn '01 game that they moved to the end of the season due to 9/11 was relatively cold, though not miserable. The last time I was miserable in Tiger Stadium was Manziel's SO year--so I guess '13--it was cold and raining and sucked.

I was underdressed, but the coldest I can remember being was the 2008 game against Troy...the comeback game.

I think the 2008 comeback win over Troy was pretty cold. I skipped that game due to the forecast.

As a postscript, LSU should have lost that game...as defending national champions.

LSU vs Ole Miss October 27, 2001.

The wind was blowing from the north all game and even 2 heavy coats couldn't keep us comfortable.

Also Eli Manning tore up LSU that day.

I remember the 2007 game against Arkansas (day after Thanksgiving) being pretty cold--maybe around 50 with a cold wind blowing. That was the one where we lost in overtime to the Hogs team with Darren McFadden, and everybody thought we had lost our shot at the national title.

2007 Arkansas game started early but it was in the mid 50s with dropping temps. By the time the 3OT disappointment finished, it was fricking cold. They were selling hot chocolate at the concessions and ran out. North wind blowing in a cold front and we were in the west upper deck toward the south end. Miserable.
