Hottest, or Most Uncomfortable, LSU @ Baton Rouge. Humidity is UNREAL.
HoakieBS • 06/05/26 12:39 PM ET

HoakieBS • 05/31/26 01:43 PM ET
The most uncomfortable game I can remember was the hurricane Isabel
seekoHoG • 05/27/26 06:48 PM ET

Hate2SeeItEnd Hokie • 05/28/26 08:16 PM ET

Syracuse wasn't one of the coldest

Burke Hokie • 05/27/26 12:44 PM ET

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. **
DDhokie31 • 05/27/26 10:06 AM ET

OrlandoHokie • 05/27/26 11:04 AM ET

RoanokeHokie1872 • 05/27/26 09:39 AM ET
And the Hokies
HokieBrian • 05/27/26 02:58 PM ET
In terms of wind chill...if there is colder game than early 80's VMI game
