Hey Bundy, how bad was it for our super last year? It gets pretty hot in our baseball stadium.

You would probably have to ask the UT fans who go to the game because I am used to it.


The '03 game was pretty fricking miserable, IIRC.

That LSU- Tenn game was the worst humidity ever...and that is saying something.

Yeah, I left that game at halftime because my friends were bitching about the heat and how hungover they were so we watched the rest dt at Magnolia's.

I actually really enjoy going to the upper deck if the student section is too crowded. Great view of the game.

i wasn't gonna leave but my friends were bitching up a storm saying the same stuff until one thought about going to my grandparents seats. the people we booted were pisssssed too

and oddly enough i have been to a good many games my entire life but never once have i sat upper deck, even as a student. i may need to give that a shot

I feel like anytime there is a noon game at SC, regardless of the month, it as hot as hell. Always walk away from those noon games with a sunburn.

1983, Texas at Auburn.

Over 100 degrees.

And I was wearing a wool, jacketed band uniform.

Damn, the things we can do when we're young.

Not a conference game, but LSU at A&M in 1993 and 1995. But especially '95. 100+ degrees in early September kick-off. Powerful sunshine, no clouds, and just too damn hot to really enjoy a game.

Tenn game in 05, Western Carolina in 2000, and Auburn in 95 were all unbearable...BUT, those games, as hot as they were don't come close to College Station in September. Kyle Field in Sept is the hottest place on earth. LSU played there late 80's, early 90's. Hottest f'n games I've ever been to...people were dropping like flies.

Some of the hotter AU games I can remember:

LSU 2006 (04 was also hot but not as hot)
Buffalo 2006
Southern Miss 2008
Utah State 2011
Mississippi State 2011

Damn, y'all are young.

The 1994 LSU at AU interception game was one hot bitch as well.

LSU-Tenn in 2005. Nothing else even close.


I second this. Isn't this the game that was moved to a Sunday or Monday night? That was freaking miserable.

I started at AU during the fall of 05. Went to some of the games before then, but not that many.

Though I am a Bama fan, I went to the AU vs SMU game in 08 with 2 buddies and our tickets were way high up so it made the heat even worse..i got a dip of skoal wintergreen and i guess being a noob dipper at the time and the fact it was so hot made me almost throw up and i felt awful the rest of the day

1990 Auburn vs. Ole Miss in Jackson. I think there was a standing ovation when the one small cloud in the sky went in front of the sun (at least I recall one in our section). I also recall they ran out of drinks at the concession stands. It was miserable.

I was there and it was pretty damn hot but the hottest was the 2000 Mississippi State-Florida game in Starkville.

Appy St. in Death Valley at a 10 a.m. start in order for it to end early and allow the interstate to open up contraflow to evacuate foe Hurricane Gustav. Any LSU fan that says anything different didn't make this game. No tailgating due to the early start and by the time the game was over, I had to go straight back to my apartment and pass out for several hours. The weather just completely drained the life out of you.

The appy st game in 08 is easily number 1 for me. I woke up at 4 and met some friends to start drinking, and got to the game around 9:30. Never drank so much water in my life as I did sitting in the stands that day

The evacuation afterwards was just as exciting.
