LSU - Tenn '05.

It was a Monday night game due to Rita. I evacuated to Baton Rouge, slept on a floor with about 9 katrina refugees at my parents, went to the hottest game of all time (which we lost after starting out like 21-0 after the first half) and then woke up at 4am the next morning to get back to Houston to go to work in time. People were dropping like flies that game.

Dude, stop buying your clothing at Wal*mart. You will wind up looking like a Bama fan.

1990 Bama vs Florida. This was back when I was in football shape and I still remember how terrible it was. So many people passed out the stands looked like Jim Jones was passing out Kool-aid.

^^^ Nice call. The game before that vs Favre/SMiss was a heater too at Legion Field.

Maybe it was hotter because we lost both?

Lsu vs msu like 4 years ago.. It was an afternoon game and rained before hand then complete sunlight. It was so humid. I've never sweated that much in my life!

'97 lsu/aub. Heat index over 100 degrees. Tiger stadium concession stands ran out of water

'88 lsu at fla. Brutal. Tiger band was sitting in the lowest rows. Fla had the old school turf. Field temp was way over 100

Any 3:30 pm Sept game at the Swamp when I played 2 full rugby games (A side and B side), got shitfaced at the social, then went to the game and the sun would be directly at the student section. Brutal but fun as hell.

I don't remember the exact year, but sometime in the mid-2000's we played Vanderbilt when it was scorching. Totally miserable.

OM-Florida in 07 was really hot. Also the Jax State fiasco was pretty hot as well.

Auburn vs USCw in 2003. It was either the last Sat in Aug or 1st in Sept but it was around 96 without a cloud in the sky. It did not help that we got shutout.

But that small rain towards the end of the game made it feel wonderful. The 2008 Memphis, though it was night, was hot. Just remember it being really humid that night.

Not a SEC game, but any A-Day game is damn near unbearable.
