Weather for tomorrow, a factor or irrelevant?

USC4life15 · 11-23-2012, 10:07 AM

Supposed to be 45 at kickoff, and getting colder as the night progresses. Neither team has really been exposed to cold weather all year, but is it the bias/wishful thinking on my part to think the cold weather would favor us? A team reliant on passing the ball vs a team who prides themselves on strong D in cold weather should favor us, right?

I think it doesn't really matter with the temp being in 45 degree range. But i just cant get the papa johns bowl out my head when talking about our team and cold weather.

riceatusc · 11-23-2012, 10:32 AM

it affected me going to the game. If it were that cold at Willyb I would be there. just dont care for all that orange in one place.
but to answer you question. I would expect to see some dropped balls because they are going to be hard

Won't matter IMO. PJ Bowl was much colder and was a let down. Both sides will be jacked.

Im still thawing out from that effin game!! I think gametime temp in B-Ham was 33 degrees, and it was windy... U-Conn was used to it... we definately were not...

I hear weather is supposed to be Clowney with a chance of Pain.

Cockhornleghorn · 11-23-2012, 07:42 PM

I don't think it will be cold enough to impact the game.

Coulwoodwarlord · 11-23-2012, 07:54 PM

I was colder sitting down at the Wofford game than standing up. Metal bleachers will turn you into an ice cube.

davidmc467 · 11-23-2012, 07:58 PM

Won't affect me...it'll be about 72 in my living room at kickoff.

I'm sure it won't affect the game that much. If it were in the mid-30s or below, then I think the team would start to feel it bad.

b381l · 11-23-2012, 08:53 PM

I don't think the temp will be an issue, but what about the wind. If the wind gets up to 15mph or above, that could really affect the passing game.

ConwayGamecock · 11-23-2012, 09:02 PM

40-50 is considered perfect football weather for most fans.....the players might not even wear long-sleeved t-shirts for that temp., as with all the running around and adrenaline they'll be relatively warm...

That was one cold day. Can't say I enjoyed the game.

With most players wearing gloves and running around they mostly wont wear sleeves. I expect the punters and qbs that dont wear gloves on both hands to just use the hand warmers.

haaron1988 · 11-23-2012, 11:49 PM

Im not sure if the cold weather is a good thing for us... We will sack Boyd and instantly he'll have an icepack for the injury...

In an unrelated note, sec. 20 of this video has one of the best fan reactions from this game! Her face tells it all!

uscsandstorm85 · 11-24-2012, 01:12 AM

Who knows. It's hard to catch with cold hands, and the thin gloves players wear do nothing to help that situation.

Carolina4Life · 11-24-2012, 01:28 AM

DJ is going to cripple somebody in that climate.

It was freezing in 2010 in Death Valley and we destroyed them.

Garcia played his ass off in that game.
