    Hottest memphis 2000...people dehydrated and hat heat strokes that day and the air conditioner mysteriously malfunctioned in the MSU's dressing room. Imagine that???? Low class is low class..

    Coldest- Liberty Bowl vs Air Force or Ark Fayetteville 2015??

    Hottest - '91 vs Texas....miserably hot to start the game. Then we got some relief with a rain shower. Then it got Amazon Jungle hot and humid.

    Coldest - '91 Egg Bowl....set at the top on the east side, wind gusting at times and me without a jacket (just dumb). By far not the coldest game STATE has ever played in but it was the coldest game I've ever been to. 1200 mentioned Luke getting hit by Auburn the year before.....We knocked Luke out COLD in this one. Can't recall who laid the lumber for us......any of y'all remember?

    Haven't read all the replies but for me it was the AL game where it was in the 20's and the wind was howling. Same game where the parachutist lost lift about 30' high and fell. It was then I realized a human being could bounce.

    That was the '96 game I believe. I don't remember it being that cold that night. That dude did bounce though. One of the damndest things I've ever seen.

    Apparently the Liberty bowl stadium is the hottest and coldest place many of our fans have experienced. I can concur on the cold. I've been to a couple of bowl games where you needed wool socks on once in the shade.

    I remember in 2007 at the liberty bowl parade that wind off the river made it feel at least 10 degrees colder.

    it happens ... same thing happened to me on my last jump and I had to tell the doctor that I fell on the stairs ... I don't remember the bounce - just the numbness

    Yes. 1996 Bama game.

    What I recall.......That guy looked like he would sail over the field and out the stadium or into the MClub building. He was yanking those cords like crazy to get turned north. Then his chute folded...... What a weird weird night that was all around.

    you just don't jump when it's very windy ... pulling hard meant he was trying to steer back into the wind and if you pull hard enough to go horizontal the chute will dive or even worse you can collapse the canopy - no big deal at 2000 ft but by 30' above ground it's a different story and you should be where you are already supposed to be ... if the guy couldn't hit a football field then he doesn't have enough experience or it's to windy to jump in the first place. Or sometimes due to wind currents or shear it just happens

    Right before the crash and burn landing, the other jumper barely cleared the north end zone scoreboard. If he hadn't lifting his legs up he crashes into the scoreboard! Crazy night, as Lsu kicked our tails!

    I wasn't at the Liberty Bowl game in 1963, but I remember watching it on TV and from what I've heard was the coldest football game Msu ever played.

    Well my memory is foggy on it... I was sitting in the stadium. Anyway, I remember it being really windy. Rumor was two others landed at the amphitheater. Here it is....

    Wow ... looks like the wind was from behind as he was trying to turn... in the drop zone there is always a wind sock to give indication of wind direction but in a stadium it swirls ... if there were other divers that had trouble also then it sounds like it was just too windy ... last crash I had the wind was blowing but not too bad... sometimes it just goes wrong. The last two jumps I made I saw the same guy cut away twice in a row and the odds on that happening are unreal
