Pretty mild for extremes

I remember that Army game had a constant 15-25 mph wind, so the wind chill was brutal.

My late Dad’s hat blew all the way down that top row of the Upper Deck from our seats on the goal line to the opposite end. Why he had to go up there I’ll never know. LOL Luckily the fencing caught it or would have been gone.

And I thought that one sara game was the windiest?

I like Joe, but he missed one of the coldest and definitely the snowiest home game of at least the last 45 years since I've been going to the games - the 10/29/2011 Halloween snowstorm game against WV with ~5" of heavy wet snow falling in the area at ~33F during the day. Yes the one where the snowplow guy was obviously paid off by the faster WV team allowing them to come back and win that game, spoiling the return of Eric LeGrand to the stadium a year after his terrible injury.

I also thought the 2003 Cuse game was the windiest I could recall with 40 mph gusts affecting the game, positively, for us. That 5-7 season was when we truly knew that Schiano had led us out of the abyss (from the Shea error's 11-44 record and Greg's 3-20 start after inheriting the weakest 1A team ever) and was building something special here.

2008 vs. Fresno St on Labor Day was HOT. I was a Senior in the old student section for that one. Not sure of the actual temperature, but kids were keeling over all over the place.

2011 vs. WVU was brutally cold/snowy. IIRC, that was in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Irene. The drive down 287 was like an obstacle course between downed trees and spun out cars. My gf (now wife) had to warm her hands under the hand dryers several times.

I was thinking the game when Shea was still the coach.

First time I ever saw a 10x10 tent on a sideline.. because their QB was from Florida and couldn't handle it. How did we allow that? Had to cut off sight lines for fans over there. Should have forced them to take it down.
