Hot was easily ECU in Charlotte. Cold was a Syracuse game.....

I can't remember the year. but the most miserable overall was BC on October 25, 2007. It poured rain then got colder then we lost in one of the most heart breaking losses in Tech history.

santafe • 05/27/26 12:43 PM ET
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
Syracuse 2001 was coldest. Georgia Tech opener one year was super hot. **
