I've been in colder weather, but we were entirely unprepared for the dropping temperature.

Yes I do. Worked with a Minnesota grad at the time. He gave me a lot of (good natured) crap.
But I have disliked them for beating us ever since. . .
. . . HOWEVER TODAY, I am a HUGE FAN!!!!
GO GOPHERS!!!!!

Yes, I was there. Almost froze to death. I think hot chocolate could have sold for $20 a cup and no one would have complained. lol

Yep, I was there too, as a freshman in Tiger Band. Shreveport was not a great destination, but we had a great trip despite freezing and a loss. Bowls improved from there...
Last year I had 3 in Tiger Band. I love to tell them old stories but I’m jealous of their experiences during this season of Clemson football. Go Tigers!
