I would concur on the Memphis game.......Hottest I've ever been in my life........Freaking miserable....I was in Tuscaloosa in '97 and we beat Bama's ass in the rain and sleet that day.......The weather was miserable but I enjoyed every damn minute of it.......
Memphis '00 - had just spent a week at the in-laws in Missouri, and was catching the game on our drive back. Me, our 1 year old, and my wife who was 5 months pregnant. That, was a dumb decision.
South Alabama game '16 is a close second. We left Orlando the Thursday night before after a HS football game - and drove smack thru a Cat 1 Hurricane. Then had to sit thru that heat and watch that shit show.
Snow Bowl.
2019 USM game was atrocious, our game ops crew having maybe its worst games ever only poured gas on the fire.
@Memphis 2000
Liberty Bowl 07
@South Alabama 14
@Arky 15
Arkansas 2000. We lost in overtime in the sleet and rain.
MSU vs Memphis at the Liberty bowl in 86 timeframe - IIRC. The heavens, we're talking biblical proportions :o, opened up and there was literally a waterfall pouring down the stadium steps.
For about 15 minutes against Auburn in 14 it was doing this exact same thing.Quote:

Storms & torrential rain during the game, but they kept playing. And, we never left out seats. Cheerleaders were jumping around in water over 6? deep, on the track, in front of the stands. After the game, we found out there had been tornado warnings in the area. Hahaha! Good memories!
Arky 2000 because we lost. I remember be furious after that game
07 Liberty Bowl was miserable
An underrated one was I believe LSU 2005 to open the season on Thursday night. The 45-0 6 interception game. It was 90-95 degrees outside and rained on and off about 9 or 10 separate times. Humidity was horrible. I sweat through my band uniform more than any other game I can remember.
This is the answer for me. As I recall the cold was expected, but I think the sleet was somewhat of a surprise based on the forecast because there were a lot of people like me without a poncho that we're walking out of there with numb legs and a solid sheet of ice on the tops of their jeans.Quote:

Another for me was 2000 egg. Sat in the rain in Oxford. We blew a big lead and lost. Have never been back and will never go back.
Arkansas 2000
Troy 2001
2001, I think it may have been Troy, there was a serious tornado threat in the middle of the 3rd quarter. They emptied the stadium.
Tie - 9/17/83 vs. Navy in Jackson; game played in the middle of a hurricane, torrential rain and winds.Quote:

Hottest I've ever been in my life until that beautiful thunderstorm in the 4th quarter!!!
2019 against the mustard buzzards! Surface of the sun hot..... but the walk back to the Vet School parking lot made it even worse! Soaked to my underwear..... not that anyone needed to know that! :)
Yep. By the end of the game the end zone resembled a small pond. Oh yeah, we lost that game 21-9Quote:

That was no doubt #1 --------# 2 was colorado state game around 1976 at scott field rained about 6 inches during game almost caught pneumoniaQuote:

All of these were boiling hot or brutally cold. At least Texas and Memphis were wins.
Texas A&M 2012. Worst football experience of my life.
UAB 2014. I remember a lady passing out in the stands
Arkansas 2000. They were a beat up team, having been blown out by Tennessee the week before. We needed the game to win the SECW, but came in unprepared and blew it. Weather was cold and sleeting which made the loss that much worse.
At Missouri 2015 hands down. I was on the 3rd row and it rained so hard at times I couldn?t see the field.
Arkansas 2000, but I'll give an honorable mention to the 2003 Egg Bowl, where we got stomped in a storm.
These two get my vote. I also remember losing to NLU at homecoming in the rain. Not sure if the date. I was there 93 - 97.Quote:

3-2 Auburn win
This is the correct answer. It was fun once you accepted the monsoon.Quote:

Ole Miss game in 1971. Snow and wind throughout the game, way below freezing. Girlfriend got pneumonia. Top it off they beat us 0-48.
That one was fun, we had rain, sleet, and snow. I remember being in the stands with the entire row to myself late in the game. Arkansas scored and some guy a few rows behind me started slamming his cowbell onto the metal bleacher. He tore the seat and his cowbell up pretty good.Quote:

My wife and I left early, I told her to drive to the hospital and we sat in the parking lot for a little while before I realized I was probably good so we headed back to Meridian. Halfway home we realized she had left her purse or something damn important in the changing room at Campus Book Mart so we had to go back, get that, and then drive to Meridian. That was by far my worst game.Quote:

Yep another bad one, definitely Troy, we were in club level outside on the ramp watching people evacuate below and were like what the hell? What are we doing up here? Every tackle after they started the game back up the guys slid like 5 more feet in puddles with water shooting up everywhere.Quote:

2. Heat- 1997 Memphis with USM 2019 a close second. Memphis gets the nod because I lost like 10 pounds in water. I think it was all water.
3. Cold- 2015 Arkansas. I think the wind chill was way below 10. The funny part was my Dad asking me if I wore a coat and I told him "YES. It was three degrees. That's only going to do so much."
4. Dome- 2013 Oklahoma State. That game just sucked. It seemed like our guys were dropping like flies from one injury after the other. I think that was the game that the SEC basically coerced us into playing and we barely made a bowl.
for me it was Arkansas at Starkville 2014 as I was a little under dressed ... but we won and maintained our #1 ranking
