Well, I could nominate quite a few here.
UK/UGA when I was an undergrad in 80 or 81. Seven degrees at kickoff for a night game.
UK/Cincy 1995 in Lexington. Heavy snow, mid twenties at kickoff.
All time, however, has to be the 1981 AFC championship game between the Bengals and the Chargers at Riverfront in Cincy. Well below zero at kickoff. The windchill was 40 something below zero. Tons of snow on the ground. Ohio River was frozen over. Thought we were going to get stranded and die on I-75 on the way back to Lexington. Only way we got through that was the heaters in the bathrooms at the stadium.

I think Mizzou might win this argument 
Coldest game I have ever been to was the 2008 Big 12 Championiship Game vs. Oklahoma. It was in KC and snowing like mad, it was around 30 degrees at kickoff and got much colder by the end. Only Mizzou game I've ever left early (OU crushed Mizzou), and I've been to some BAD Mizzou games.

Am I your alter, because I was at all of those games too. Some really cold games at Commonwealth in November.
Wasn't that the Ga game where Hershel Walker had that long run?
