November FOOTBALL weather! Cannot wait!This after 75 degrees through Wednesday.
I still vividly remember Kearney's first ever FB playoff game vs. O'Hara at Center November 1986. The coldest (a huge accomplishment given I was a season ticket holder at Arrowhead during most of the Marty years especially that Colts sub-zero playoff game) game I've attended to date. 10 above with a 20-25 MPH North wind. They never gave a thought to rescheduling it.
Every game played at college stadiums for Saturday. Ofc Lamar calls dibs on Pitt State.
It was the Yale Van Dyne show. He was a man among boys. O'Hara had experience and balance on their side they won a shootout. Tackling in that extreme cold had to really sting!
Was gonna head out to a game. Mid 20s? Nah bro, I’m good. My fat a$$ will be on the couch looking for pirated feeds and nursing some of Kentuckys finest juice.
50-60 degrees is perfect football weather.
20’s is for polar bears.
20’s is for polar bears.
This X about a million. My snot start freezing to my nose hairs and beard, I’m out!
Now now now, I’m sure Ritter will have heaters on the sidelines..
BUT still no play clock 🤣🤣🤣
I coached in a game at Fayette a few years back. It was 15 with a wind of about 15 mph so I can only imagine what that game must have been like!
It was back and forth from your seat to the warmed up car. I know it took me a few days to truly thaw out!
11/10/1995…Me and a couple buddies pile in my buddies g/f’s Cavalier Z24 and head off for Boulder CO after MU mens hoopers played Chicago St and Craig Hodges. We just couldn’t miss that game and decided to drive from COMO to Boulder straight through to catch the MU/CU game. The snow starts around Booneville (bad sign). Quick stop in KC to see some folks at the National FFA convention (you can’t make this stuff up) and by the time we hit Topeka it’s snowing so hard we can’t see the road. No worries, we’re the only dipshits out. At about 3 am and halfway across Kansas, I pop over a hill on I70 and notice what was a partially covered interstate to be nothing but a white surface. Couldn’t see a stitch of road. Took 30 mins to go 5 miles to get to next exit and a pay phone. Use the phone book (can you imagine todays college kids having to pull this off???) to look up highway info number. Call it and discover a mere 30 miles ahead of us the interstate is closed all the way to the CO border. We turn around, obviously. Limp back to Topeka where the roads are “clear”. Along the way one of the guys says, hey I think Nebraska is at KU today. We pull in to Lawrence about 6am. Find a breakfast spot and grab a paper. Discover he’s right. Hit campus about 8. By 8:30 we’ve secured 3 student tickets to #10 KU vs #1 Nebraska for $20 total. Why so cheap? When we pulled into Lawrence the temp was 0 and the wind gusts hit 30+. It was the 2:30 ABC game. Wind chill at kickoff had warmed to about 0, as the temp had risen to the 20s. I’m shivering thinking about it.
Side note…We hit the local Walmart before the game to grab some poster board and markers. My buddy (same one that remembered the game, he’s a freaking human computer) has this idea to get us on TV. We are all clad in MU gear, not like we packed clothes or anything. We make a poster that has A(int) this B(oulder) C(olorado). As we’re walking in and catching all kinds of hell from KU students (remember, we’re in their section) an ABC cameraman catches up to us. Asks to see the sign. His EXACT words “you’ve got to be $hitting me. You guys are going on the open”. Before kickoff he points to us and we hold the sign up in all our Mizzou gear with a crap ton of KU fans behind us just giving us 10 kinds of hell. It was awesome. Get back and for the next week listen to everyone talking about how we were on the open of that telecast with our sign and a quick story about the treacherous Nov weather. I hate how instant information would never allow an experience like this again.
27 years have passed since that day and my toes still get numb just thinking about how cold I was from that experience.
WOW absolutely amazing experience! That whole fall and winter was crazy cold. I sat in the upper deck for that horrible Chiefs loss to the Colts the following January. It was similarly cold but up there the wind was brutal and then some! You all were LUCKY to survive that I 70 trip. It is really sad the MU KU rivalry has all but dissolved!
Amazing story. What makes this site great.
Among other things. Such as; Willard funnel cakes, do stars matter, hot Kearney moms, do private schools recruit, Marvin Burkes, and the Doc Guys.
His story is better than everything you listed.
Idk man. I’ve had a Willard funnel cake. They’re pretty darned tasty.
It’s true!!!
