Im talking HEAT. I remember a few years back when we played UGA, I think like 2008, it was unbearably hot. People were passing out left and right. I thought the stadium was going to fill up with sweat.

It was in Columbia, of course. Famously hot.

2002 Auburn/Arkansas sticks out in my mind... old man in front of me passed out due to the heat.

Many AU fans were cooled by the breeze created by Fred Talley and Matt Jone's 400 yards rushing...

A couple of years ago when we played Arkansas in Athens, it was scorching. There have been many but that's the most recent that comes to mind.

I've heard some of the LSU-A&M games in 80s and 90s, which were usually played in early September, were ridiculous when they were played during the day regardless of the venue.

A&M Fresno State in 07 was the worst for me, temperature was mid 90s at kickoff and went up. Heat index was well into the triple digits all game. People were passing out from heat exhaustion everywhere.

UT vs. Fresno State in late August '03

Neyland was like a gigantic orange oven that day.

i was luckier back in 2008, my grandparents season tickets were under the upper deck. but for arkansas i was student section and it was fricking miserable so my friends texted me asking if we still had those seats and so i went over there, kicked out the randoms sitting there, and the 4th quarter we recovered while the rest of the fan bailed

Two stand out for me:

LSU v Tenn in 1989 - I think it was a noon game because TS was baking in the sun.

Bring back the magic in 1995 - it was at night v Auburn but it was hot with zero breeze and the stands were overfilled. Thank God Twillie made that pick in the end zone because it was already pretty miserable

The Swamp is prety miserable early in the season. You would probably have to ask the UT fans who go to the game because I am used to it.
Oh and I sit in the syboxes.
