Please correct me if I'm mistaken. I attended the '91 and '93 OU-NU 
games, and if memory serves, the '91 game in which Calvin Jones 
starred took place in the midst of freezing rain at 32 degrees 
Farenheit. Unpleasant for spectators but not impossible.

The '93 game took place in minus 30 degrees accompanied by a hard 
northwest wind. Having lived in Finland for ten winters, I thought I 
was prepared for anything, but that day proved me wrong. Note: I 
thought the Oklahoma lads deserved a medal for showing up, no 
kidding. I think that was the game in which Trev Alberts' elbow was 
injured.

Saturday should be nothing like that. (Nor should any other day!)
