NFL fans do deal with it. College fans can deal with it.

It wasnt more than 5-8 years ago or so that the Big 10 was not playing any night games in November
The game you mention was very cold, I was there and it was a rough one. But to me the Purdue game maybe in Brohm's first or second year, 2017 or so was the worst of the over 250+ games I witnessed in Kinnick. The temp wasnt as cold as the 2013 Mich but it was close BUT the wind was stronger and just sucked the heat right out of you. And of course the hawks played poorly that day and Kirk made several very poor coaching decisions which is why I left early for one of the few times everFriday's high is projected to be 24 with it dropping to 15 at night.
Winds are supposed to be around 15 mph.
The game kicks off at 6:30 pm CT on NBC and will be over around 10:00 pm CT
2015 and Pete got pelted by snowballs.
2017 was the wind game. Seems like that was Riley Moss's gettin Moss'd game.
Yep, the Nebby game is a good one to sell tickets for on the after market, price them high because all those Nebber farmers have plenty of cash from all the AG programs. They will spend a lot as will Iowa farmers.
Moss got torched at Purdue in 2018 as a true freshman iirc. But you are correct that one of our starting corners was injured in 2017 and a young backup did get torched for 2 long TD passes by purdue, cant remember the corner's name.
for years it was basically Nebby's bowl game
Not that I recall, but maybe?
Coker had a million yards, kicked the shit out of Minnesota, and lost. It was embarrassing. Pretty sure Minnesota recovered an onside.
The conditions that caused a frozen field were in the daytime for that game.
Also, I was at the 2013 Iowa v Michigan. It was extremely cold, and I was extremely fine, but I dressed like I was going out the Yukon.
I have felt like I was going to die at a few games in September.
Ha!
I assume this is a shoutout to those ****ers not calling a single penalty in Minnesota a couple of years ago, and their entire line was bear hugging our D ever. Single. Play.
It worked out.
Will @Franisdaman be there in person being that shirtless guy they always show at the coldest games?
Shaggy better smoke a couple extra doobs and scooby snacks.
Minnesota recovered back to back onside kicks in that game. It was pathetic to watch the hawks not be coached up for that game but they were on a bit of a late season tailspin. It also makes you realize why coaches like Bielema knew he could do a fake punt against Iowa.

Does Raiola like the cold? How is the husker running game?
It's a night game this year? Wack. This game should be played at 11:00 or 14:30. Tired of TV messing with a good thing.
I froze my ass off November 28th 2014 kinnick for Iowa, Nebraska.And then the very next year in Lincoln.I froze my ass off after a big ice storm the day before!We had to bang ice off the bleachers sat in section 600 nose bleeds brutal wind and cold
find a 300 lb fatty who is sportin the melons and use em as earmuffs ( that would be 90% of the Nebraska Male Fan demographic too) , I have little sympathy with over a foot of snow and -20 up here in Calgary
Shouldn't you be in Arizona with the rest of the Hosers playing pickleball?
Half My Family is Iowan, other half from Louisiana so not a true flannel wearing Hoser who cannot say sorry fast enough , It is getting to be deer and moose hunting season up here so no time for teabagging my junk in a pickle jar in Arizona . Sounds weird yet almost intriguing tho , is there rules and how do You win pickleball ? How do You score it? wrinkles or stretch ? . .
I remember that game. I was in the old north stands.Friday's high is projected to be 24 with it dropping to 15 at night.

Newsflash: people suffer from hypothermia and frostbite in cold weather. Especially those who have been drinking.
I was at that Michigan game. It was damn cold. Hopefully it isn't colder this Friday. I want to maintain my name in the record books
See the Chiefs game last year.
These leagues need to not be so f***ing stupid for the sake of a f***ing television product.
Coldest game I ever experienced at kinnick was in the Frank Verducci disgraceful era, when Iowa played Michigan in a freezing sleeting windy cold rain, and got beat 22-0 I believe. That was when the IA locker room was at the other end of the field from where it is now and Verducci caught all kinds of Hell coming off the field at halftime. Miserable.
Cold weather is where one of these comes in handy. I still have mine from my days in the student section...
Obviously y'all play a lot more cold weather games than the SEC teams. However, I thought that is interesting that the coldest Georgia football game in Athens came on November 25, 1950 when 2500 stalwart fans braved a 10 degree kick off to watch Georgia beat Furman 40-0.Friday's high is projected to be 24 with it dropping to 15 at night.

I believe that was the day that Michigan beat Ohio State in Columbus in a massive snow storm sending the Wolverines to the Rose Bowl.
What is your problem with farmers? One of them catch you porking one of their pigs?
buy heat packs and put one in each sock and in each glove and find that 300 lb fatty , it will be ok . Lots of running in that weather so the clock will be moving
The coldest game at kinnick was Nov 23 2013 michigan. I was there with a friend who had cancer. He was a stubborn tough guy who didnt complain once at that game. The high that day was 17 and it was overcast. Not a single peep out of him about the cold, 34 days later he was dead.
