[Husker] Bitter cold Huskers games

[Wilson, Rick]

I was at the 72 OU-NU game with snow still in the stands.  Freezing
cold.  Do you think Zaven Yaralien still has nightmares about guarding
Tinker Owens?

 

Every away game at Iowa State I attended was always miserably cold and
often times snowed on us. And one liquor store in town. I think the jet
stream used to permanently run thru Jack Trice Stadium (that's Trice as
in ICE). 

 

Perhaps the most bizarre weather game I was at was when I attended the
NU-KSU game where it snowed 3 inches during the first half, and halftime
was delayed while we cleaned the field (much to the chagrin of KSU coach
which had to be Snyder - Zambonigate).  There was no snow in the
forecast and my buddy Scott and I were miserable. NU pulled away in the
2nd half, and we left after 3 quarters not wanting to catch pneumonia.
It was the first time I had left a Nebraska game early (not that I
attend 1000's of them mind you).  Was this in the 1980's? or 1990's?
Too lazy to look it up. 

 

I get cold now in 50 degree weather at OSU games.  I cannot imagine
doing what they do in Green Bay.
