I'm not ashamed to say that I bailed on that game. The wind was ridiculous.

The coldest for me personally was the Utah game, November 30, 1974. The temperature at game time was 38 degrees, with a brisk north wind around 25 mph. I was in the Tiger Band back then, and marching at halftime was painfully cold. Those old wool coats that were so hot in September provided no real warmth in November!

'97 Notre Dame

(the following season the game in South Bend was the coolest opening kickoff LSU has had in the past 30+ years, I only know this because last year's Arkansas game tied them @ 33 degrees)

1992 afternoon game against Bama was pretty cold.

1995 against Ole Miss was bad too. I was sitting in the south upper it was like 38 degrees with a strong north wind.

2003 Arkansas wasn't so much as the wind was cutting you in half.

The Troy game might have been the worst. When LSU went 3 and out to start the 2nd half I bailed. One of the few times I have left TS before the game was over.

Didn't the temp drop 30 degrees or more from pre game to the end as the front came through for ND in 07?

02 Bama was miserably cold. Not to mention, we lost 31-0.

First game I thought of.

People always mention the Troy game, but I guess a combination of the first 3 qtrs and the contents of a flask must have dulled any feeling I had until the comeback.

Anybody remember the Oregon St. Game. I can't remember what year it was but it was so damn foggy I couldn't see anything down on the field. I looked at my buddy at one point and said what just happened. He said I don't know I can't see shite. I'm pretty sure we were playin Oregon state.
