I will say a prayer that these forecasts become true 
ETA: I want it to be sleet and ice. Screw the soft puffy stuff.

No thank you. That doesn't sound fun at all. I'm cool with low temperatures but i really don't want to stand for four hours in sleet.

You're joking, right?
The 11th game of the Cotton Bowl Classic had been sold out weeks before with 45,507 tickets having been purchased. However, the weather had taken a turn for the worse proving itself miserable with snow, sleet, and ice in what would later become known as the "Ice Bowl". Even with the weather as it was, 38,000 spectators trampled through a foot of snow in the aisles of the stadium just to watch the game in person. The game time conditions had the temperature in the 20's, a wind averaging 9 mph with gusts of 13 coming out of the north, and snow surrounding what had been a tarp covered field. Not used to this type of cold, the LSU team filled oil drums with charcoal for makeshift heaters, as some of the fans had to start fires in the stands just to try and stay warm. A true "Norther" had blown into Dallas, without even slowing down as it crossed the plains of Oklahoma. It was truly a miserable day for football!

Ha. Gat damn. I stand corrected - you guys have braved the elements before. Although in all fairness I couldn't tell if was an ancient football game at the Cotton Bowl or grainy pic of Washington at Valley Forge.
So, it's been while.

Damn that sounds miserable. I'll never forget the 2000 Iron Bowl. It was cold as shite and sleeting/raining the entire time. It was the most miserable few hours of my life, and that was even before we lost 9-0

Well I was looking to get tickets but I think I'll be watching from the comfort of my box blind

It's been since then, but that was the ORIGINAL "Ice Bowl". And that it was between Arkansas and LSU makes it just that much more relevant.
True to form, Tittle was able to move the Tigers between the 20's, but was unable to break the Razorback defense as LSU was stopped three times inside the 10 yard line. Even with the miserable playing conditions, LSU was able to roll up a 271-54 yardage advantage over the Hogs for the game. Throughout the game, Arkansas could only muster one first down compared to 15 by LSU. It seemed that LSU was on a roll, but yet they could not SCORE!
271-54 yardage advantage, and 15-1 1st down advantage, yet the game ended in a 0-0 tie.
I am hoping for a better outcome than that this year.
Maybe more like the '65-'66 Cotton Bowl.
