Weather for Tech - 6pm, Sub-20s
- Thread starter JM4CY
- Start date
I was kidding when I called it gamesmanship. They tweeted about the weather but not in a way atypical of how they usually tweet.
My wife gave these to me for Christmas in 2018 to wear in cold weather games. My feet have sweated in them despite the cold. They're fantastic and I love them.
Coincidentally, I gave her the same socks the same year at Christmas. She gave me a gold pair, I have her a cardinal pair. She found the pair she bought at Hy-Vee, I found the pair I bought at Strawberry Patch in Ames.

Just ordered a pair. They arrive Friday just in time to get a good test on Saturday. Thanks
2013 KU was a cold one. Won't be quite on that level. Wouldn't miss it. It's a LONG time until another football game in Jack Trice and I'll miss it all winter, spring, & summer. Bring it on!
Saturday game will come close to the KU game by the second half...single digits...will easily be the 2nd coldest game. Man, that will definitely cause some shrinkage of the Tech tortillas.

For anyone who doesn't use them... Toe warmers are a god send for cold games.
Somewhere I have a photo of a Coors Light can I snuck in for that game and I don't think I have ever seen the mountains as blue on the can as they were that day. In fact was cold enough the beer was getting slushy and I had to put the cans back into my coat to keep warm enough so they would not freeze.
Just stocked up on some hand and feet warmers last night. Was really hoping for a 2:30 game this week so would be at the "peak high" temp with maybe some sun so it doesn't feel as cold.
Positive is, the west siders will have shade the whole game.
The OSU one in 85 was damn cold, even with the sun That NW wind was bone chilling. I can honestly say that I've been to seven of those eleven games!
I’m pretty sure the wind chill during that Kansas game was in the 10-20 degrees below 0 range.
Oddly enough, that game is a really fun memory.

Heated coats are fantastic. Always carry a spare battery with also. Lasts the entire game. Carhart coveralls as well.
One of my sons and his friends were in the vicinity of the teletubbies in the student section in light jackets and I spent the game worrying about them, but at least they had hats and gloves. Other than that it was a blast. Someone gave us a cup to dig the snow off our seats but our feet were in snow most of the game. Guy a couple of rows ahead of us had painted his chest. Best part was the game was never in doubt.
