[Husker] Bitter cold Huskers games

[Dave Mennenga]

I think that the numbers Doug provided generally reinforce my opinion
that the '93 OU game was the coldest I can remember.  I was in the band
from '89 to '94, and will always remember that game because the slide on
my trombone was frozen in place before the first halftime song was over.
For the rest of the show, I was limited in which notes I could play...
I'm sure it wasn't our best halftime show, but doubt that anyone noticed
that day!

GBR,
Dave

I'm not the weather guy, but I was curious how the games mentioned on 
the list compared to the Packer/Giants game since I was in Lambeau for 
that fiasco (0 degrees at start, about 5 below by the time Brett threw 
the interception in OT).

Huskerpedia tells me the date and almanac.com tells me the temps:

Game              date                min/mean/max temp for that date
72 OU-NU - 11/23/1972  -    27 /30.9 /39

76 OU-NU - 11/26/1976  -    32 / 37.4/ 63

97 NU-ISU - 11/15/1997 -     21.9/ 26.6/ 30.9

93 OU-NU - 11/26/2003,  -    1.9 / 11.0/ 24.1

No one mentioned the '82 OU game that I was at.  I remember being very 
cold at that game, probably compounded by the 7up spilled on my feet by 
the vendor.  In fact I was colder at that game that at the Packer game 
last week - those years of learning how to stay warm in deer stands have

paid off I guess. 

'82 OU-NU - 11/26/1982 - 21.9 / 29.0 / 45.0 


'93 OU/NU gets the nod as the coldest of the games mentioned.
