LSU UTexas CWS Finals Game 1.

Hottest Day of my life, not just game, but life. I was ringing sweat out of my shorts it was so bad. Talked to a couple of players and they agree. Some said they were getting IVs in the dugout between innings. If I recall it had rained before the game to make it even more humid

Georgia at South Carolina in 1988. Hottest game I have ever been to. Plus we lost that day.

AU vs WKU - was in the 90's, and there was a tropical depression that was coming ashore that day in south AL. had squal lines come through to where the opposite side of the stadium would dissapear - then the rain would pass and it would just be unbearable muggy.

2008 against Georgia Southern. I remember standing up for the national anthem thinking bugs were buzzing around my legs and realizing it was just the sweat running down them. Usually never leave games early but I was done at the end of the third quarter. As I was buying a water on the way out I asked one of the GBI guys how he was holding up and he was saying how they'd be carrying people out all game long as they were dropping like flies.

2010 against Arkansas was pretty bad too, but I don't think it was a rough as that Southern game. It did seem to me that at about half time Sanford was barely 60% full.

I don't know that it was necessarily hot, but I do remember getting a sunburn like all hell at the '07 Western Carolina game.

Wasn't an SEC game, but 2003 Hogs @ Texas, I got the worst sunburn of my life.

Forecast 80's cloudy, actual was 95 zero clouds for an 11am kickoff.

My face was a blister

1997 Auburn at LSU Box Score from LSUSports.net Auburn won 31-28

quote:

Temperature: 91 deg. Wind: SE 9 mph Weather: Clear, 34% Humidity



Then two years later the next Auburn game was:

The F'ing Cigar Game. Box Score on LSUSports.net

1999 Auburn at LSU. Auburn won 47-7. I think Tubberville did an on side kick and a fake field goal in that game.

That was the one game I paid for a flight, hotel, tickets and everything to go down for that whole year.

Dinardo was planning to start Craig Nall but he got injured in practice that week. He started Rohan Davey instead.
His first two passes were INT's.
He was pulled for Josh Booty. Booty threw two more INT's and the rest is history.

These two games cemeted my hate for Auburn and are probably as much reason for the LSU Auburn series being a heated battle nearly every game since then.

Alabama v Georgia '61 or '62 I believe (Saturday Evening Post Game). I was 7 or 8 y/o and went with my Dad. People were being taken out of the stadium left and right due to the heat. As I recall that may have been the first college football game I ever attended. Joe Namath lit it up that day.

Auburn vs Southern Miss, I think it was like 08. It was so hot people were passing out. Then all of a sudden it poured rain for like five minutes. I was completely soaked, but the heat came back and I was completely dry before the game was over.

I went to that 05 LSU/UT game-humid and swampy and the outcome of the game sucked. But I'd have to disagree.

Hottest game: Season opener in 2000, lsu vs Western Carolina, the year they first opened the 'new' upper deck.

1992 LSU vs eATMe
2002 LSU vs MSU
2004(?) Oregon State vs LSU

Going with the 2008 App State game starting at 10 AM. I remember them giving out free Tiger Waters at the game.

If A&M/Florida gets the 3:30 game, that might be a brutal one, too.
