KFDM COOP Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 Worst Weather Games? What's the worst weather game you ever played in or watched?
grizzly62 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 My fav bad weather game to play in was when it was raining and cold cold....
WOSHIGHc/o2001 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 This might start a riot from BC fans but, how about the "Water Bowl" BC at WOS in 97(?).
OldTimer Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 Liberty vs. Kirbyville – 2004 (I think) More rain than I can remember during a football game. It was the worst field conditions that I can recall as after the start of the 3rd quarter you could not see most of the field due to the standing water. At several points in the game the officials had to hold the ball in place to make sure it did not float away. Game was halted 2 – 3 times due to lighting – but restarted over the official’s hesitation. During the game the Panthers fumbled the ball 6 times and Kirbyville added 5 of their own. Kirbyville won the game 22 – 12.
bruinfan2006 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 I remember in 2001 when Central played Ozen @ Cardinal Stadium and it poured and poured and had to play on Saturday

Lefty99 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 Kville/HJ back in 98...Had to stand on the track for all the water on the field...was ankle deep all over... it was a fun game to play in though...Hits didn't hurt, because you would slide about 10 yards after htting the ground...that is if you didn't bust you a** trying to make the hit!

Bruin4Life Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 last years West Brook vs. Fort Bend Clement gosh it was like 40 while raining steadily the whole game and gusts up to 15 mph...it was all worth it until the last 2 minutes when the brook lost it...that was some nasty weather!!!
HillGuy Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 Most miserable: As a freshman living in Mexia back in '78, I played in a game against the Groesbeck GOATS (ha!) where it was freezing rain the entire game. My facemask literally had icicles on it. Taped up my earholes from the wind and had to use two hands to snap the ball cause I lost feeling in them. Oh man did it hurt to hit or be hit.

Bucof2010 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 Kville(I think it was Kville anyway) vs. E.C. 8th grade 2005 water on sidelines was nearly to your knees and no verbal communication over the sound of wind and rain...and wouldnt you know it was freezing cold.
Matt Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 Dayton VS Sterling, cold and rained the whole game
HJ-Hawks25 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 2000 or 2001 it rained really hard around the Vidor area. I remember it being ankle deep water. You almost drown when ur at the bottom of the pile and it sucks really bad!
Javelina Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 1998 Buna vs H-F game was put off till sat cause all the rain then 30 min before game bottom fell out and rained all game. Water was ankle deep on sidelines and went about five yards onto field. Just had to guess if you went out of bounds or not. The good thing was it was a home game so at halftime we changed into new uniforms and new shoes. Buna 13 H-F 12!!!

Now that is football weather... because the guy that can rev up his engine high enough to keep himself warm can totally dominate the game....
snafu Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 I can remember a youth game, 83_alumni will remember this, that was out at Claiborne Park that before the game started the officials talked to both head coaches to ensure that piles would clear out fast enough to let players on the bottom of the pile wouldn't be held down in the water... it was also in the upper 40's lower 50's if I remember correctly.... as Lefty stated in an earlier post ... someone get hits hard and slides 25 yards afterwards... mmmmm FOOTBALL!!
Nanna Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 Since I am probably much older than most of you, the game I remember was in 1963 or 1964--been a long time ago. Liberty was deep in the playoffs. It was played in Houston; the temperature was about 19 degrees, light rain, wind blowing and it did not let up. I can't imagine how bad it was for the players. As a spectator I lost feeling in my feet and hands.

shermdog Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 I can think of two: Playing TCU in 91 Raining and cold Left College Staion it was 80 degrees got to FT Worth it was 37 degrees and raining. TCU in 93 Rained so much in College Station, the turf(pad) was floating on the water.
