Mines 2013 Syracuse. Luckily we won 56-0 that day but it was rainy and messy.
this is the one I was going to say. compounded for me because my sister, for some reason, didn't bring a coat, so I gave her mine and froze to death.1990 VPI at BDS. Cold, windy, and rainy earlier in the day, but still very damp and raw. IIRC, GT won that 6-3. Miserable day on the Flats.
After sobering up at game time, I gave my son had my jacket since he had migrain. Wind was brutal.I take that back. Orange Bowl 2009. Miami and 40 degrees....
Those were my two picks with the Mississippi game being the worst. I had been to every Peach Bowl and almost all of them were miserable weather. FSU vs LSU, UNC vs Arizona State, and a few others. I quit going after the last Tech loss.Two Peach Bowls at Atlanta Stadium. One against Ole Miss in the rain and mud and the other on a very cold Christmas Day vs Purdue. We lost both games too.
“Can remember” disqualifies many of the games I’ve been to - especially losses.
I do recall thinking I was going to die of hypothermia - IN MIAMI, FL - at the 2010 Orange Bowl v Iowa.
Edit to add, this may not count as a memory either since according to the fair and unbiased NCAA, this game never happened due to $300 worth of clothes.
Sounds like 2010 NCSU game. Russell Wilson ran wild. It was about 110 degrees in the stadium.I dont remember the game, but it was a noon game, high humidity and mid 90's and beating down sun. The concession area was literally a triage area with all the medical people tyring to help all the people who were having heat strokes, passing out in the stands.
UNC vs. ASU was a stinking blizzard. I was there. Fun game but cold as a witch’s _____.Those were my two picks with the Mississippi game being the worst.

Second this. Wife and I brought ponchos - they helped a little but it was an unrelenting tropical monsoon for most of the game.If we’re talking any Tech game, I’d say 2017 Clemson. Heavy driving rain in Death Valley from the moment the band got off the bus to the moment we got back on it soaked from head to toe. What a miserable trip back to Atlanta!
If it has to be in Bobby Dodd, then 2013 UNC. Torrential downpours all game. Winning made it more bearable.
