92 Florida in the deluge. Mose Phillips taking it to the house in the rain.
Fantastic memory!The 3rd quarter lightning storm/raining sideways/flooded field game was the best ever. The Shuler to Phillips TD pass with Spurrier cringing on the UF bench was priceless.
My wife and I having Sabrett's hot dogs at a stand outside the stadium.. with Brent Musberger...after the game, soaking wet was the icing on the cake. I'll never forget the Barcelona Dragons helmet sticker on his briefcase or Musberger telling us that was the craziest thing and best fan support he had ever seen.
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.
Smokey actually died if I recall correctly....it was brutally hot.... the following Saturday the weather was perfect for MSU. I couldn't believe the differenceWas 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.

'96 Florida game sucked to high Heaven... and it was a constant rain from start to finish. I was at the '94 game at Vandy and Ronnie Milsap (yes, you read that correctly; millenials can Google him) was right behind me. Brutal cold, wind, and had rained earlier so the seats were frozen with ice. Ronnie Milsap looks at me (pun intended) and says, "My ass is frozen to the seat." True story. We balled that day though, so boom!
That’s a cool story. So I guess Milsap just listened to the crowd and the radio or something to figure out what was going on? Note: for the younger people reading this; Ronnie Milsap is completely blind.
The rumors of Smokey's death are greatly exaggerated.
Smokey VI, who suffered heat exhaustion in the 140-degree temperatures at the 1991 UCLA game, was listed on the Vols injury report until he returned later in the season. He was on the sidelines for three SEC championships.
