You missed 1981 VMI, or you’d understand cold

The 2001 Syracuse game had flurries during the game and a wind chill of 19.**
VTHokie2000 • 12/20/25 11:04 AM ET
1981 VMI also had flurries; wind chill was below zero **
hokiepro • 12/20/25 11:05 AM ET
What made the Syracuse miserable to sit through was VT was ranked #5 and
VTHokie2000 • 12/20/25 11:09 AM ET
Yep similar we lost to VMI 6-0
hokiepro • 12/20/25 11:26 AM ET
I remember it well
82Tony • 12/20/25 12:55 PM ET
I was in the North End Zone for the Syracuse game and that was the coldest
VTHokie2000 • 12/20/25 11:42 AM ET
Too cold to snow at '81 VMI game...kidding of course, but that was brutal**
Tuckahokie • 12/20/25 07:23 AM ET
Brutal is right! Freezing temps and a loss to VMI. **

We would have gone to a Bowl with a W...back when Bowls were few in number**
Tuckahokie • 12/20/25 07:51 AM ET
As Imentioned 1983 and forward. VMI should not be compared to a CFB playof
TheNuke • 12/20/25 12:24 AM ET
Not can’t be compare to CFB playoff BUT in those days a bowl was a BIG deal
