Alabama opened at home with BYU in the late 90s.Not sure how the Labor Day weekend temp affected the team but I was shocked at how many BYU fans had on jeans and sweatshirts. They were struggling on the way in the stadium

The most uncomfortable game I've ever been to (Sept. 5, 1998), and it was at NIGHT. Hot, massive humidity, no breeze, just couldn't breathe. They were dragging players off from both teams equally. Walking back to the hotel at 10:30 pm it was still 86 with heat index in the 90's. The bills in my wallet were soaking wet from sweat.

Penn State game Sept 11, 2010 wasn't too bad to me but Penn State fans were in the bathroom before the game splashing water on their faces, looked like they were having heat strokes (very nice folks BTW).
