1st Cold Weather Game
- Thread starter Poolside Knight

I was at that game in 2014. It was miserably cold, rainy and windy...and then we continually found ways to not win.
Hopefully Frost leaves the heaters on...*
safe to say it will be the coldest game Milton's ever played in
cold, wet, w gusts up to 40mph...bad conditions to try to test their weak pass defense, an ugly game with mostly the run game favors UCONN. It's very difficult to run up the middle vs the interior of their Dline

Can you imagine trying to catch a Holman fastball in cold and wet temps?!? Haha.
Erggg...I forget who said it on this forum but here is the quote: "UCONN, where good teams go to lose..."
that's why that Temple loss was so devastating to the team's bowl hopes, you gotta take advantage of the opportunity at Ws on your Home Field.
Hopefully Frost gets them in a mind set to fight through it Saturday
52 is cold? What a bunch of pu.....
But really, what's the science on this. How high does the temp get in those uniforms, running around, layers of padding, helmet etc. I have no idea but that's sounds like a real comfortable temp to play in, not freezing not sweating your guts out.
All relative, I suppose. When you're used to the feels like temps being around 90 degrees, 47 is pretty chilly. For comparison, the game in CT in 2014 the feels like temperature was in the mid-30s. So, it shouldn't actually be as big of a factor as the heatergate game. I'm glad we got this game in Mid October and not in November.
every Floridian should know the feeling, it's like that first cold front of the 'winter' where the high is in the 60s but feels like 40 that first time. After a few weeks of it you feel better but the first time is a shock.
It will help if it doesn't rain bc the wet cold is the worst combo
Get in your shower and turn it on with cold water. Then tell me 50 degree water isnt cold.
With a 15-25 mph wind...
Hoping for a slight break in the weather (heavy rain stays away) but UCF missed perfect weather by 2-3 days;...as it was 80 degrees in Hartford the other day.
I'm in Georgia, it's already that weather, and no it's not cold, not even sitting in short sleeves. It's perfect weather to be active in.
It was that temp today in Hiram Ga, and windy enough to cause some tree damage, again, not cold at all.
ahh the keyboard warriors wearing sweatpants and sitting on the couch all day Saturday preaching toughness
No one is saying they will play like crap but you got to factor in this change for the players if things get sloppy Saturday. They go from practicing and playing in feel like temps from 75-100 for 3 months to playing in feel like temps under 50 degrees. Houston's 1 loss last season was at UCONN on a cold day

It was the cold rain that bothered them in 2014. Too slippery to hold catches, to make tackles etc.
Weather was somewhat shit. The worst part was before the game, thank Science. Really windy and constant rain. Not hard rain, but constant. The sun was out during most of the game and it actually felt good. Every now and then a breeze would come through and the Griffin twins' dad would yell "CLOSE DA DOOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". Their parents were actually really nice people.
Cold wasn't as bad as the stupid drizzle that felt like sitting under a mister on a line at Disney.
