I remember freezing my behind off in 1984 watching us beat Tulane. And then forgetting how cold I was at the end of the game when the fight broke out.

I'm sure that isn't the coldest one on record, but it is the coldest one I remember.

Besides that, Atlanta was flipping frozen during the SEC Championship game against UGA in 2003. Luckily, the game was indoors.

Troy '08 was absolutely miserable. Didn't help that we were getting our arse kicked by a sisters of the poor team until the 3rd quarter

Badger and Wolverine fans would laugh their asses off if we rattled off actual gametime temperatures!

I remember the 1993 Ole Miss game being 37F at kickoff, and it was in October! The Troy game in 2008 was pretty chilly, but again, it was probably in the lower 40s, so it's all relative (to me being a wuss in cold weather).

As long as you are in the north endzone, you're good.

The 1996 Alabama game was pretty icy, but that had nothing to do with the temperatures.

This one.

And the '95 Independence Bowl was miserable. Drizzling sleet and wind hit us in the face all game.

You mean the '97 Independence Bowl. I was there for that one. Doesn't qualify because of what's in the subject line, but yeah, that was frigid.

Aren't you glad the "Weed Eater Bowl" days are over?

I don't know about coldest ever, but definitely the coldest I'd ever been to.

Yeah, Saban's Mich St. But '95, '97 ... the only things that made a mark on my memory were the win and chattering teeth.

Yeah, the '95 Indy Bowl was chilly, no doubt, but no precip.

In the 1997 Indy Bowl, it was sleeting, and temps were in the upper 20s at kickoff. Even the Notre Dame fans were cold.

95 Indy was a beautiful sunny day but cold as all get up with the wind; 97 was downright nasty! Troy was the wind chill and 97 ND @ TS was pretty nasty as well; remember they ran out of hot coco!
