We've moved on to bigger and better, but that was kind of a cool experience, it was like a big class reunion. I saw people there I hadn't seen since LSU and haven't seen most of them since then.

What made the Troy 08 game so damn cold was that wind coming in from the North and I guess the fact we sucked so it made it worse.

02 Bama was a nut freezer too

I've been to quite a few games in my 22 almost 23 years on planet earth and those two stick out as front runners.

Hopefully come this Thanksgiving i will be thankful for seeing some hard nips on chicks in the student section. #XRayVision

Wouldn't it be better to have the "reunion" at the Sugar Bowl? Just sayin'.

All I know is this: If and when we accept our next Independence Bowl invitation, I'm going to cry like a little bitch. I've been living in the "Golden Age" of LSU Football for awhile now, and I hope it doesn't end.

Troy, west endzone, three rows from the top was as cold as I've ever been as long as I've lived in BR.
I'm from Chicago so I have at least a decent perspective.


West side, not endzone obviously.

The Arkansas game in 2003 was pretty chilly. Sunny day, but the wind was howling.

Notre Dame 1997.....May have been the coldest I've ever been in my life


This. Hands down.
The wind was kicking everyone's butt. I was huddling with strangers in the stands.
....and we got our butts whipped!

That Notre Dame game was absolutely ridiculous and definitely gets my vote ...

The person who said Michigan and Wiscky fans would laugh is right. I was clod at the Troy game because I had jeans and a coat on. Up there you are cold with long johns, sweat pants, sweater, snow pants, jacket, winter coat, scarf, gloves, hand warmers, snow cap, winter socks, and boots on.

Weren't we pretty close in '08?

I'm waiting for some old timers to bring some up from the 50's and 60's.

I had a woman from Notre Dame visiting a friend sitting next to me. She GRABBED a blanket to cover-up and said that it was freakin cold. That hot chocolate was being used to defrost my arse from the bleachers.

I was there in the upper decks. I don't remember it being that cold at all. Maybe because I was into the game so much. In 84 against Tulane, I was only 8. So being cold and the fight is pretty much all I remember.
