Early 80s. Very wet winter and the Tomb was a soggy mess. Hosting a play off game. We had to rig a raised plastic canopy over the entire field (about 3-4 feet high) and then put in heated blowers to try and dry the field. It worked. Painted the field green. I think we then lost to NDSU/Lehigh. But great effort.
The historic 1982 semi-final playoff game against NDSU. Played in the mud, cold, drizzle and fog. Ags held the Bison on 4 downs from the 6 yard line to win 19-15 at go to Texas for the title game. Lost Ken O'Brien to a knee injury though and we got beat 34-9 by Southwest Texas State.
Blue, great memory and game. I think “cold, drizzle and fog” might apply to my cognitive skills at this stage of my game. It was so upsetting to see Kenny get hurt. Most knew that probably meant the end of our championship chances.
Two games in 2001 at central Washington (cold cold severe wind) and at western Washington (freezing cold down pour). I think we won the wwu game 6-0 and hardly threw a pass. Both were as miserable weather as I can remember
81 I played in a quagmire vs Sac. Equipment guy gave me some brand new high top shoes with longer cleats. After the first couple drives they were saturated with water and mud. Slowed me down even more! Felt like Herman Munster. And I was slipping in the mud.......cuz about half the cleats come loose and fell off. Terrible field
We were playing at Aggie Stadium some 6 or 7 years ago, I think we were playing Portland State, and they delayed the game after there was a tornado warning. The skies were slowly spinning about 100 yards away from the stadium, it was pretty eerie.
2010 Causeway Classic. The lightning game. I had to get picked up after the stadium was evacuated and we watched the rest of the game at our fellowship house. It snapped a 2 game losing skid to Sac State. That was quite a downpour, but the lightning made it memorable. The rest of the game probably had far fewer fans in attendance than today's contest.
Not exactly a weather event, but there was the 2009 game vs. Montana where somebody forgot to reset the light timer and the stadium lights turned off during play. Was like a half hour delay to restart the lights. I'm assuming this is on somebody's checklist now.
