A high of 75 is jeans and long sleeved t-shirt weather? For an afternoon kickoff?
Game day weather forecast
- Thread starter Pope
- Start date
It had been in the 90's for a month leading up to that. Seemed cool in my mind, and it was easily the most uncomfortable I've ever been in Jack Trice.
I went to the Iowa game (105 in the stadium or something crazy like that) the next week and was much more comfortable because I was ready for it.
I remember being pretty damned hot at that first Iowa OT win. I was absolutely cooking in that midday sun and then...great...we are going to multiple overtimes. At least we won that one.
They may look a little dorky, but I have some of those zip off khakis that I can wear for a long day of tailgating and game. I can have the pant legs on in the early morning, zip off the legs for the heat of the day, and put them back on as necessary for post game frivolity. I'm too old to put fashion before comfort.
I'm just going to wear shorts. Even if it's mildly uncomfortable first thing in the morning, it will pass quickly.
A little cool in the morning is nothing a little hot chocolate with schnapps or The Doctor won't fix.
I'd like to point out that Iowa State is undefeated in games where streakers run on the field. So if it gets really hot, there's another option available.
I'll be in Tip Top at 6AM anyhow. By the time I leave there it's going to be sunny and bright.
it seems like over the past few years, September has turned into a monsoon season. Hopefully that is not the case this year. Rainy Septembers have a negative affect on my job as well (I work in agriculture).
Whichever UNI game where it was hot as balls, and then ISU lost as well - think that was 2013. That was the worst. Went with some friends (including one UNI grad) and it was miserable physically and emotionally. We alternated a beer, and a bottle of water tailgating all day. We didn't die, anyway.
We were going to go out and paint the town, but we got back to the hotel and everyone was already shot from the heat, so we just turned in.
Double checked - this was 2013. And it WAS the same season as the Kansas frostbite game.

We were glad to have the bus to tailgate in for that day. We cracked a window and had a space heater going. Probably lucky to not die of asphyxiation...
If VeloClone can't go, Pope, you are heretofore nominated. We expect you to do your duty.Veloclone streaking???
Edit: Might want to save it for the Iowa game. Does the rule apply at Kinnick?
