Away game at Navy about ten or twelve years ago where it poured and there was fog and you could not see what was going on out on the field. At halftime another heavy rain cell was heading there and I got the he’ll out if there.
The Navy rain game was 2009, followed by a home game against Miami on Halloween that was the wettest game I have ever been to in Winston-Salem. It poured all day. Both games were fluke losses, particularly the Miami game. They converted on a 4th and 20 or so on the game winning drive, and we gave them a TD earlier on a muffed punt inside the 10 yard line. That ‘09 team was snakebitten—should have been a bowl team.

The Rice game during the Dooley era was even more brutal than last night. It was a day game, raining and about 35 degrees. At the end of the game, about 10 fans were in the stands on the east side and maybe 20 on the west side.
I forget the year but I remember sitting through a wet game against #13 GT with a dual ear infection and 103 fever. We beat them to go bowling I was on the hill we jumped the wall and people tore down the goal lost and I got hit in the head. Wouldn’t trade that memory for anything in the world. My friends sold me out because it was nasty out so I went by myself
We are going to look back on this year and regret not using him more.
2001 Northern Illinois.
A few weeks after 9-11.
In the fog and mist. We win to go to 6-5. No bowl.
I'm sure it's been posted somewhere on these boards, but I just haven't seen it yet. I realized this morning that in 2006 we lost to Clemson, VT, and... Louisville...
And we beat BC, Duke, State, FSU, UNC, and Syracuse.
But Louisville wasn't even in the conference, which makes it even more of an interesting coincidence.
