re: What is the coldest game you ever attended?

Can confirm. Worst football experience ever. 27 at kickoff, windy, and seemed to get colder. When the sun went behind the scoreboard in the 4th quater and my seats were in the shade, might as well have been playing in Siberia. The old man in front of us shivered so much, when he stopped in the second half I was half certain he had died from hypothermia

So many awful things about that game.

1. The stadium ran out of pizza at a bowl game sponsored by Papa John's. And this was at halftime.
2. My dad had bought me a sweatshirt before the game started that commemorated the bowl game. As the game was ending he made me give it away to a UCONN kid. I actually thought this was pretty funny at the time. My dad didn't want any memory of the game and was quoted as saying "This will be my last experience at a reject bowl game".
3. Not only did UCONN win 20-7, but South Carolina scored their only touchdown with 3:24 left in the game. It was even more embarrassing that UCONN fans cheered this momentous event after dominating us for 3-1/2 quarters.
