I was there for the entire game with four other sorority sisters in full rain gear and a shower curtain we grabbed from one of the bathrooms since we were all going with football players and we “had” to be there. We were completely soaked after ten minutes.
Top five most miserable weather games for me both college and pro. This was back in the day when games were never canceled. You toughed it out or went under the stadium if there was lightning and waited for it to pass, which looking back was nutso in a metal erector set.
I’m surprised 25,000 souls still came out because Tally was truly a small town back then with lots of two lane streets and everything but Monroe and Tennessee and Appalachee were totally covered with huge canopy trees. Flooding everywhere.
But we won. Remember winning??!!
