And Georgia is playing in Lexington where the windchills will be in the teens and maybe even the single digits. Very windy too. Will come down to whoever can run the ball.
Yep. Going to be different for our lads. Got to handle it. Way it goes. And, could be way harsher than 39F. And we all LOVE IT down here in Gator Country when the opponent has to handle serious and oppressive heat and humidity.
Ou Our guys will wear thermal under gear and will be just fine. Sitting in it is VERY different than geared up.
Thankfully the game isn't in Buffalo which is less than an hour from where I live, 70+ inches of snow coming, Bills game has been moved to Detroit!
I grew up near Syracuse and left for the Army in 1987, after graduation. I have been back a few times during the winter months but I would never consider moving back.
We usually miss the really heavy snowfalls here in Southern Ontario, Buffalo is susceptible because the predominant winds blow right off Lake Erie and since the water is relatively warm now this can happen! Hopefully our team can adapt to cooler conditions in Nashville, the running game should make the weather less of a factor!
Hey Canada, where in southern Ont? I have a sister in St. Catherines and had more family near Toronto (Brampton). When I was 15 I spent the summer up there working with my uncle making overnight produce deliveries to all the A&Ps from Sudbury to Kingston to London.
That’s beach weather compared to my favorite hometown, Sioux Lookout, Ont where the high Saturday will be 7F and the low 1F. That’s freeze boogers in your nose weather… speaking from experience. Our guys will be fine. The Vandy kids won’t be any better off than us.
I am just outside of Hamilton (Stoney Creek) about half an hour down the QEW from St. Catherines, they may catch some of this big storm btw! Great to see you know the area a bit, thanks for responding!
I’m a 4th generation Floridian. I had never been out of the state of Florida until 1967 when I was drafted into the US Army. After boot camp and 3 months additional training I was sent to Korea. The day I got off of the plane in Korea it was 17 degrees below zero. First time I had ever seen snow and ice on the ground. I, and the 4 or 5 other Floridians in my unit, handled it pretty well. In fact the only one of us taken out of the field for frostbite was a young man from Montana. Go figure.
C'mon, we are the U of freak'n F. We are SMART! Use the damn model that has already been built! Brilliant!!!
