I have to admit that I left in the 4th quarter. This is only the 2nd or 3rd time I've ever left a game before the bitter end, but my father-in-law was with me and, although was wasn't going to say anything, I could tell he was shivering, wet and very cold. I was glad we made the trip up the mountain though, and so was he. The fake kick by itself was worth the trip. If you had left at 7 - 0, you'd have missed that! :D

I can vouch that bcoach did leave early, however, his grand daughter being ready to go tugged at his heart strings just a little. On a side note... Once his grand daughter said she was ready, bcoach was halfway out the isle before son-in-law could gather all their belongings. ;)

Yup. That was the point of the thread starter. Besides, besides DJ almost makes it seem like you are there in person. I even felt cold.

A leader must lead! ( especially when he is soaked to his Jockeys. ) :lol:

The atmosphere in the stadium was great. I never really got cold because I prepared for it but the wet snow I didn't prepare for. It was almost like sitting in the rain.

The best advice I can give is DO NOT WEAR JEANS. I did that ONCE. Wear ski pants/snow pants. Wear Gore-tex boots, not tennis shoes. Everything waterproof. No cotton.

You are right AppAttack. I was fine in my snow pants and rain gear all the way to the sweet (not bitter) end. :P
