Awful weather for the Armed Forces Bowl

[Brog]

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

Why does Air Force deserve bad weather?

 

[Brog]

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

One of TCU’s strangest games was the 1959 Cotton Bowl, where TCU and Air Force tied 0-0. Temperature lower thirties. Sleet. Mist. Misery!

Both teams were fumbling left and right (the Frogs fumbled the ball eight times, while the Falcons fumbled five), attributed to the damp field that was covered by tarp due to the snow that happened earlier that week. Missed field goals were also a big part of the game. We know what that’s like, don’t we?

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

Which is the way it should be.

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

It wasn't great, but no where near that cold. It just felt colder because we lost.

Missed field goals are a rarity with Kell. Muffed punts were a big thing in 2012, though.

Air Force should be used to this kind of weather. I remember freezing my azz off watching a Frogs/AF game years ago at their stadium.

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

IIRC it was colder at the Cotton Bowl when the UH played Maryland than that ND debacle. I should know since I was at both.

I was considering driving down for the game and the opportunity to hang out with my brother, but with this forecast I’ll happily stay home and watch it on TV while he’ll endures that misery in-person.

Saw this somewhere.

Bringing true meaning to “Too Cold University”.

My Father and I were at that game. My mother and sister had gotten us tickets for the game long before it was known who was going to be playing. I remember that the fountain outside of Fair Park Music Hall was frozen and still spewing water that just kept adding more ice to it all. Miserably cold game.

I don’t recall the fountain but I do remember that my mother had sent us with thermos bottles of hot chocolate and the lids froze on so we couldn’t get them open. I also remember that my father was going to stay until the very end….

Might not be that funny Friday morning…

Temp dropped 15° in 30 minutes. I can't imagine sitting out there for the game tonight.

The weather gives the Baylor fans an excuse to stay home.

Not even funny. Electric companies have to save that money, you know.
