First meeting with Oregon. Had to hang out in the corridor with tens of thousands of wet rats. Big eye-opener in terms of the allure of staying home.
Yes, I was at that game sitting behind the band and those guys were dropping like flies.Was it 1991 against UCLA when it was sooooo stinking hot? So hot, poor Smokey ended up on the injured list after the game due to heat exhaustion? Anyway, wife fainted from the heat and had to removed from the stands via stretcher.

It absolutely rained that entire game. That is one my dad and I still talk about. Couldn't see the other side of the stadium for the dang rain.Don’t think it rained during the actual game but ‘06 Marshall game got pushed back a couple of hours due to storms. I remember they cancelled the Vol Walk prior to the game.
Been to two crazy rain games - 2010 Oregon and 2017 LSU. I'm sure there have been hotter games, but the 2016 Florida game was the hottest I've ever personally attended. Also the most fun. I wasn't there, but several people I know said the heat was absolutely unbearable at the 2015 Bowling Green game in Nashville. Think it was close to 100 degrees that day - heat index was almost surely over 100.
If memory serves, there was also a 2006 Marshall game that had a weather delay due to rain.
Anybody know if there has ever been a game played at Neyland with visible, measurable snow on the ground that actually impacted the playing surface (not just flurries during the game or something like that)? Surely it has occurred at some point, but I don't know.
