2001 (I think) Syracuse was so cold. At Stanford was quite steamy.

Never went to our seats at Stanford. No way were we going to sit in the sun. We watched from the concourse.

Heat = The ECU game in Charlotte, Cold = the VMI game in 1980, I believe
santafe • 05/27/26 11:27 AM ET
Hottest was probably USC at Fedex. The tailgate was fun, but brutal.
reestuart • 05/27/26 11:22 AM ET
