I've had season tickets for 40 years. Remember sitting thru sleet at a MSU game in 90s (?), but without a doubt, the Miami game was the worst. I remember we had ponchos, and the wind would whip the rain right into you face. We were totally soaked and totally whipped by the Canes.

Auburn a couple years ago was so miserably hot

Everyone vacated after Fournette demoralized them in the first half. Hopped from the student section and sat on the 50 the rest of the game

79 Bama - That's my pick. Between both teams I think they only crossed the 50 yard line 2 or 3 times. Punt fest.

This is the answer. It rained so hard you couldn't see the East side of the stadium.

Coldest, 1997 lost to notre dame, snowed most of the 2nd half would have been beautiful but we lost
it was in the upper 40's at worst with a strong north wind & a little rain, cold & miserable but no snow

a lot closer than the score indicated

You have a legitimate angle here. The Tigers self destructed on numerous occasions deep in Miami territory, fumbling, throwing INTs, and missing FGs. And the punting was awful and set Miami up numerous times in great field position. And, it was only 20-3 Canes at the start of the 4th quarter. The game should have just ended there.

The game that sticks in my mind is the Florida State game that was so foggy you could hardly see the game and then it began raining oranges. Lol... It was a great scene. Very cool. Orange bowl here we come.

Fresno State 2006 was pretty rough. The concourses were flooded pretty bad.

Every Tamu home game from 86-94 was a night game except for 1992.
So was '05 vs UT.
One of the other openers vs aTm it was 90 taking the seats at 6 or so and sweated bullets whole game.
IIRC Ensminger was aTm OC or CO-OC vs Curley and Howard, so probably '94.
They must've sacked LSU 10 times, but LSU almost pulled upset over pretty good aTm squad with a pick-6 until falling apart in 4th.

1. 1988 Miami. Go watch on YouTube. Tell me the hot 2005 Tennessee game, which people stayed until the end, is worse than that.

2. 2006 fresno state. 30k fans at that game. Looked like a scrimmage. Rained for 24 hours and let up at kickoff.

3. 1993 Ole Miss. So cold, I cried in the car after it was over.

4. 2003 ULM...rain. rain. Rain.

5. 2004 Oregon State. See above.
