It wouldn't have been so hot if we hadn't gotten stomped

But I do remember being pretty miserable otherwise too.

It also didn't help

That most of the stadium, notably the student section, cleared out by the 4th quarter--leaving the sun to bounce off all those aluminum seats and absolutely scorch the few of us who stayed till the bitter end. It was like sitting in a solar oven.

Primarily because it ended in the evening, did it not?

Two that spring to mind:
Oct 19, 2012, 7:20 AM
|
|
(1) VT, 9/12/1998. That game was unbelievably hot.
(2) App State, 9/7/1991. My first Clemson game ever. I happened to be in a band uniform so I was already hotter than the average fan; but that's the hottest I've ever been in a band uniform, before or since. I could not believe how hot it was that day. It had to be 120+ on the field.

First game of 1991. So hot I immediately went over to lake hartwell after the game and jumped in fully clothed. Shoes and all.

I've always said that that game inoculated me to hot-weather games because it was as hot as I've ever been at any football game, ever. Of course it didn't help being in a thick wool uniform, so post-band years there may have been hotter games but it's hard for me to compare. I suspect the UGA and VT games may have been worse. I'd've had to be wearing the uniform to make a true comparison.

NO. That was the hottest game ever and we got destroyed. That was my first game as a student. Have to say that was not a good way to start out your college football experience.

To make matters worse, I was extremely hungover and sleep-deprived from the night before. Awful, awful day.

That game was the hottest game I can remember. I remember rumors of lineman from both teams throwing up on the field.

Not sure, but this is the most important game in 20 years...

for me. I am a Georgia boy. My family are mostly UGA alums/fans. I went through high school as THE Clemson fan that battled hundreds of UGA fans. The fact that Clemson has not beaten UGA in a quarter century is the single worst fact in my sports life. Imagine if Clemson had not beat SCAR in 10 years. THAT is how I feel about us and UGA.

What a brutal noon kick off and game it was.

Nothing went right for me that day. That's for sure. SMH Lost 2 prime tickets, drank way too much crown for that heat, we all know the score, and my ride left me somehow.
Thank You Mom for rescuing me.

had the top layer of skin taken off of my eye in an accident and kept my eye iced the entire game. I was doubly miserable.

Not to diminish your condition, but an ice pack and disorientated vision sounds like a positive knowing this game.

For me in order from hottest to least hot: (wasn't at UGA 2003)
1. GT 2004 (tailgating - game was at 8) got there at like 2:00 and it was miserable until like 7.
2. Troy 2011. 95 degrees but luckily sat under the over hang
3. Mid Tenn St (tailgating - game was at 6) 2009 low 90ish and started drizzling the second half. Muggy that night.

Number 1 we got are butts kicked.....number 2 was the unholy heat. It wasn't so much the heat as it was the humidity...honestly I don't think I have ever felt such heat in a crowded situation. I remember going down the restrooms and a big woman was crying in that crowd because she could not breath. I felt bad for her...heck I couldn't breath either.
