1997 LSU-ND independence bowl.

My family did not make it very long in that misery.

I sat in the south end zone upper bowl for that one. It was a traumatic experience for a 5 year old. Think dad was trying to toughen me up.

1984? LSU beat Tulane 33-15. We froze in the upper decks. I remember being cold and a big fight breaking out.

I went to Favre's last home game as a Packer. I think it was week 15 and the temps were in the mid 20's

I see a lot are bringing up ND. Beautiful campus, my gosh was the 5 hour drive back (or whatever it was) to mid-Michigan back with my best friend's parents awful.

I miss that rivalry, it was always something to forward to.

GMAC Bowl I think

Marhsall rallied to beat East Carolina 64-61.

East Carolina was up by 30 at one point in the game and people started leaving because it was a blowout and cold AF!

It may have been more a battle of wills to stay until the end.

Senior Bowl 1990 was rainy and in the low 30's.

Sucked.

Either the 1975 Cotton Bowl or the 1996 Cotton Bowl. First one was in the low 40s, the latter in the low 30s. Froze my nuts off at both.

I was at this game too. Still holds the record for the highest scoring bowl game ever. It was a different kind of cold. It was like this misty rain that would freeze as soon as it touched you.

Birmingham had a bowl in the 1980s.

I went to a West Virginia versus Kentucky game in December at Legion Field. I think at that point it was called the All American bowl.

It was cold.
