Army @ Wake Forest - 7:30 PM RSN/Bally

Coldest games were the Belk Bowl in the 2006 Boston College game. But luckily, the games themselves made them amazing nights.

The Belk bowl was also at the last game that my wife attended with me. After 4+ hours in the cold, I think she was done with live football.

Yep, those games were very cold. The atmosphere for that 2006 BC game was awesome though, as good as any I've ever witnessed at Groves Stadium.
 
Coldest for me were the Belk Bowl and last year's NC State game. I recall stocking up on warm weather gear for the 06 BC game (was VT game also cold?) but I, uhh, had enough to keep me warm that night.

2009 Navy game was probably the most miserable I've been given how we played. Our seats backed up to an unoccupied suite that my wife and I huddled under but we got yelled at pretty quickly about. And there was the 2019 FSU game with a tropical storm rolling through but it wasn't that cold and my friends and I enjoyed sorta reliving our college years on that one.
 
I feel like there was a pretty miserably cold Maryland game where we got killed, too, but maybe I'm thinking of that UCONN game, which I also attended, and was miserable.
 
that whole 03 season ended on such a terrible note following the promising start. beat the ranked State/Rivers team handily, got ranked, then the infamous 4th down shotgun run against Purdue. recovered and, after dominating Clemson to get our 5th win, we needed to simply beat a terrible Carolina team who hadn't won at home in nearly 2 years or a brand new UConn team to get bowl eligible. last game was agains a 10-win Maryland so no chance there.
 
One win from bowl eligibility and lose three straight, giving up 42, 51, and 41, blowing a 21-6 lead against Maryland, jeeeeeezzzzz.

2006 VT was frigid and also ended up being the throwaway game with Maryland deciding the division. My friends and I painted our chests and were basically first in the student section. Turns out that resulted in us sitting around with no shirts on for 2 hours on ice cold bleachers before the game kicked.
 
Belk Bowl was definitely cold but there was enough scoring (and beers) to make it reasonably tolerable.

yeah it was just cold as shit sitting around waiting for kickoff even though a day game and the Wake side was in the shade. getting down 14-0 quickly didn't help. but yeah once we had something to cheer about we forgot about the cold.
 
Belk Bowl wasn't that bad in the sun but it was cold tailgating at 9 AM.
 
Belk bowl was cold, but Maryland game 2003 was one of the worst I remember sitting through. Cold to the bone, we're up 21-13 at the half, then they end up scoring 22 in the 3rd - 6 more in the 4th to our 7 total for second half, depressing game...

EagleBank bowl in 2008 or 2009 was super cold. You know you're a serious Wake fan when you attend the Eaglebank Bowl in crappy RFK.

I moved to DC a few weeks after that bowl, and moved away the season we went to the Annapolis version
 
1991 Duke game at Groves. Snapped a 17 game ACC losing streak with a 31-14 win. Posted attendance was 15,759. No way there were more than 5,000 butts in seats. Sleeted and snowed the whole game.

Was there for that one. Had a pounding headache the entire time so that's about all I remember of it. Besides the cold, the hot chocolate, and the EagleBank Bowl toboggan I bought from somebody off the street and still have to this day.

I was at that game too! That was before I started getting season tickets, but our neighbor at the time had tickets and couldn't go. 5000 of us earned our hard-core fan badges that day!
 
Since we get to keep playing Army (Yay!), one thing this past Saturday reminded me, was something I noticed last year while playing Army:

They teach their offensive players, especially linemen, to hit you WHILE you are making the tackle.

It is fascinating to see, as they do it frequently.

For instance, Smenda hits their RB, their RB is taught, understandably, to keep driving and fall forward. And WHAM, you get hit in the side by a 6'2/270 pound offensive linemen.

That happens a bunch on short yardage, or "move the pile" type runs, but Army is adept, what a skill, at trying to hit you WHILE you are making the tackle.

Seems dirty.

If so, not surprised, as they had Bateman as D-coordinator, and the current guy looks like an asshole, as well.
