My pictures are of;

A) a game played in Neyland Stadium with snow on the ground, my guess late 40's or early 50's

B) the 1950 Bama Tennessee game in Neyland Stadium

Cotton Bowl????????

dont remember any games in neyland

Was at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas when we played Kansas State with snow and sleet. Absolutely miserable

I was there and concur. There was nothing good at all about that game.

You have UT's all-time leading rusher in the backfield in snow and ice, he gets 17 carries and we decide to air it out with a QB that had never even seen snow before that day. Of all of the idiotic offensive gameplans of the Fulmer/Sanders era this hands down was #1, and that says a lot.

Thanks KC. Those are some quality pictures. Both games at UK in 1997 and 1999 were very cold. No snow though. I remember in 97 running into Archie Manning who was wearing a long tan overcoat. Peyton had a great day.

I believe it snowed some at the 1983 Mississippi game. I remember because I had a really bad cold and decided not to go because of the weather.

And I have been going to games since 1970. But ther was a Kentucky game in the late 90's that it was too cold to snow. The stadium was pretty empty that day.

If I remember correctly that was the game Travis Henry broke the school's all time rushing record. I was there and yeah it was REDICULOUSLY cold but no snow.

It snowed like, a foot or more in the 50's the morning of a game against Ky when Bear Bryant was coach. I think it was their best team under Bryant and undefeated, too... and the Vols upset them that day. It was before my time but I remember (vaguely) reading about it.

A game against Kentucky I went to in maybe 1977 or 1978. Ut lost 7-0 on a long pass on uk opening series. Cold, miserable and snowing the rest of the game.

The snow hates us.

Edit: Sorry for bumping a old post. I found a link in a post on it and made a post before I seen the last post was in 2010. :whistling:

That was the 1976 UK-UT game. Tennessee's defense played great but the Tennessee wishbone was completely ineffective.
