Games like that feel even colder when you are working them and can count attendance on your frostbitten fingers. Some of the most miserable winter nights I remember were covering prep soccer in South Georgia or juco baseball in the Florida Panhandle.
I've sat through three Music City Bowls and all were a brutal weather experience in addition to the team I rooted for face-planting every time. The last one was the worst. I got my son tickets for Christmas the year LSU played Notre Dame and we had to dress like we were going skiing. After shivering the day away at the top of the upper deck we went back to the shuttle bus pickup and I had to bribe our way on after realizing I lost our return tickets.
Looking back I think that game was what made my son drop any interest in football.
