Awful weather for the Armed Forces Bowl

[dawg]

Do you think our fans would show up en masse in those conditions if we were playing in that game?

A lot of us stayed home for KState 2016 and GP complained about it. Irony was I had like 10 tickets and noone wanted them then I get sick and decided to stay home. Frogs got destroyed that day.

Hey, at least it won't be the worst weather Baylor has had in that stadium.

Hope it has the same result too.

 

[Make CFB Great Again]

This sucks. I love taking my kids up to see all the military equipment and expositions. Terrible weather makes it less likely that they'll be willing participants.

It's going to be warmer in the mountains where I am skiing next week then it will be here.

 

[Limey Frog]

Perfect weather IMO

It may not be the weather they hoped for, but it's the weather they deserve.

 

[Hoosierfrog]

Wait…is that gonna mess up our field?

I think they level and reseed every year, don’t they?

 

[WIN]

Think it was the year Marshal played in Armed Forces bowl and temp was in lower 20s maybe teens and there was a layer of ice on the seats.

Air Force will get our locker room. For some reason the visiting side always gets the TCU locker room. Home side is Baylor.

I think the Armed Forces team always get the TCU lockerroon.

It’s football weather. Step up boys and let’s have fun!

A buddy of mine asked me to go with him. They're club seats, and he says it comes with dinner. If I get cold, I can just go in and get more food (so I'm told). Maybe there will be some queso I can fling onto the Baylor sideline.

Excellent. Air Force fans are tough. Baylor fans deserve misery.

Was it 2003 that we played in the FW Bowl against Boise? in some pretty shippy weather?

wasn't weather one of the issues that started to hurt the cotton bowl's ability to draw quality opponents for the swc champions

Can't imagine why it would, but if it makes you feel better the high in Minneapolis Friday will be 2 degrees.

5 in Indy, but then they think high 80s is a burner here…

I froze my butt off at the 94 and 2001
Cotton bowls, said to myself never again will I be stuck with tickets with freezing cold weather likely. Glad they moved it indoors.

Certainly didn’t do UH any good against Notre Dumb.

they did beat nebraska in cold weather and the miami thrashing of texas was very cold and wet

my dad bought tickets to the cotton bowl for years and now that i think of it there were only a couple of games that weren't miserable weather
