1997 vs Mississippi St
I remember this game because of the insane weather. It was a day game in Oct, but it was sunny and very warm. I remember there wasn't a single cloud visible when TGBFTL got to our seats.
By the time we came down for Pregame, clouds rolled in and it stormed for a while, but by halftime the sky was clear again. So much so, that the band director had us ditch our raincoats and head down to march. Then another, much larger storm came through and hit hard before we got done marching. You'd be amazed how much water those damn uniforms can hold. I sat through MANY rainy games, but that was the worst, by far.
It poured the rest of the game. I'll never forget how bad the field was by the 4th quarter. I think 92 FSU is probably the only time it was in worse shape. There was so much water standing for so long that it killed most of the grass, and they had to re-sod the entire field over the open date.
That was in prep for the 97 Bama game, which is infamous for many reasons.

I agree with everything, except that it didn't rain the entire 2nd half. You know how in Louisiana after a rain it just gets awfully humid and hot. This was probably the JP game, so it was mid-afternoon. Midway through the 3rd quarter it was miserable. So much so that my close friends, who always stayed from start to finish, left after the 3rd quarter. I remember getting back to my car and taking off my soaking wet pants and "porky pigging" it on the way home.
But you were right, it was hot and dry for the first half, but a freaking monsoon came down at halftime. I remember the players had to have been shocked coming out after halftime. Occasionally you will see some great highlights of Kevin Faulk being tackled in what looked like a lake.

It rained so much that day the lakes overflowed and you could only see the turtleback of the football field by the second half of the game.
