I was there for that monsoon but really wasn't that bad. We won 7-6. I believe Threadgill hit Robert Chatmon for the game winner.
ALL I REMEMBER WAS THE OPPOSING TEAM HAD BRIGHT GREEN JERSEYS. it rained on me the whole game all my maroon clothes faded on me i was maroon for about a week.

Man I love brutal weather for a game, it changes everything instantly. I hate domes. The Snowbowl was perfection, Arkansas in 2000 is the runner up but close. I could be remembering wrong but it seems like the Todd Jordan 15 or so tries game in Oxford was about 10 damn degrees.

10 tries game in Oxford was 92. Plump was the QB.
Just taking up for Todd here.
Yes it was freezing cold.

First time I had ever seen a current or former President live in person. I remember eating nachos with jalape?os and nothing to drink to warm up at halftime.
Others:
Snow Bowl (2000)- it was cold and snowing, but I was prepared. Had major fun though.
Liberty Bowl (2007)- just miserable cold. The Liberty Bowl bottlenecked that day. We won but it was a typical boring Croom game.
Kansas State(2019)- underrated as a hot as balls game. This was the day I was pretty certain Moorhead was not the guy.
Ole Miss vs Auburn in Jackson(1990)- hottest game I've ever attended. At halftime I stood in line and got the biggest Coke they had. Drank it all before I got back to my seat with 7 minutes left in the 3rd. Also saw the hardest hit I'd ever seen in person when an Auburn player destroyed OM QB Tom Luke. Today, he would've definitely been ejected for targeting. I read where Luke had to get braces after the year because it knocked his teeth crooked.
I honestly forgot about this game (maybe my brain is trying to erase Croom). Might be the coldest game I have ever been to as far as just temperature. The bottleneck sucked, I think we didn't get to our seats until the end of the 1st quarter and we were in line for the game like 2 hours before kickoff.

De Ja Vue .... I will NEVER go back to that stadium again because of that game ... It was my first and last experience with the Liberty Bowl
OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

I can't remember a bigger cluster 17 than trying to get into the 3 gates they had open on that side (or however many but it wasn't all the way open). Combine the weather and getting into the stadium with how obnoxious the UCF fans were and that was one of the worst wins I have ever sat through. Thank God for Carroll just basically calling his own plays which shows how dumb Croom/McCorvey were.

You must've missed out on the unmitigated disaster that was the gate situation at the 19 egg bowl. There's a picture of it next to cluster 17 in the dictionary.

Yep, it was North Texas. I was there as a 7 year old.

State-Ole Miss game, in Starkville, Nov. 1967. May have been Thanksgiving Day, but not sure. 🤔
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!
i was there

It will be just as bad this year, considering its pretty hard to get people to work on Thanksgiving doing work like that.

Thank you for correcting me, I was 15 or 16. Me and a friend drove up from Meridian for that one, I remember how bad my toes were freezing during the game. On the way home we stopped to get gas and something with the pump was frozen so it took like 15 or 20 minutes to pump enough gas for us to get back. That one was miserable all the way around.

1991 Liberty Bowl
Air Force crushed us and it was FREEZING...

If you recall, can't remember the receiver who came from Pitt, caught a pass and was breaking away for a sure score only to have the DB dive and put maybe a finger on his heel to make him stumble and fall! Yes it was a miserable loss but the BearSharks were a decent team and Joe Lee was at his peak as a DC for them.

I was in that shit also but it could have felt worse since the Liberty Bowl had a wind chill of like -20 degrees. I think we probably stood in line maybe a little longer at the Liberty Bowl but both were ridiculous. At least at MSU, we should have just opened the damn gates up and just let people sit wherever and deal with people in the wrong seats after the fact. That was a royal 17 up by Cohen.

It was a royal 17 up no doubt. They just weren't prepared for people they were paying minimum wage to just not show up on Thanksgiving....which is exactly what happened. You need to over hire for a situation like that and we under hired.

When we finally got up to the gate they were just waving people through. I guess at some point someone realized there wasn't a way to make people walk through metal detectors and do all that crap and get people in before halftime.

We were actually lucky. A buddy text us at like 5:30 and said you may want to go ahead and get in line now because it's pretty bad. I think we sat in line around 45-1 hour. It just seemed like it wasn't even moving.
