There has been a thread wondering if the weather (usually rain), will slow down our offense each week for the past month now. Has this become a pre-game VN ritual?

Panicked Vol Syndrome. Usually happens after getting over Battered Vol Syndrome.

It was cold and wet last Saturday and we put up a 60 burger on the 13th ranked defense. We’ll be ok

Poor Smokey was sure shivering

Stop inventing things to worry about, please.

It's not even going to be cold in South Carolina on Saturday evening. In the 50s, maybe upper 40s.

That's not cold. Not to young men who have spent every autumn of their lives outdoors playing the game.

actually post traumatic vol syndrome - PTVS been diagnosed many times lol

 

[17Vols]

As long as the winds aren’t howling we’ll be ok, and even if they are, we’ll still be ok.

At 4 or 5 am yes. Not between 7 and 11 pm.

That's the daily low temperature. Which almost always comes just before dawn.

Come on, man, you know how daily temperature variations work. Highest temp of the day (expected 59 or 60 degrees on Saturday) comes around 3 pm, then gently drops all evening and through the night until some time before dawn, the daily low comes.

Game time, 7 pm, is much closer to the 3pm high temp than it is to the 4-5 am low temp. So the temperature at game time will correspondingly be much closer to the 60 degree high than to the 37 degree low. Somewhere in the 40s or low 50s.

Brother, this ain't rocket surgery.

Anything in the mid to upper 30s will be great. Crisp and comfortable. Once you get going on the field, those temps won't be a problem at all.

Cold weather sucks, use the heaters, jackets, warm fluids, and stay moving. I am sure like most sports at any level, once you start playing, you forget the cold until you stop moving.

will cold weather affect USCjr's defensive backs?

Not so much, because they’ll be getting burned all night.

Let me help you, Vfl. Our boys are football players. Honest to goodness football players. They are not shawl wrapped wimps, whimpering for their mommies to hug them on account of being a bit chilly. Before the age of pampering, football was football. Our boys don't ask to be pampered, but maybe pampered fans wish they did. Orange you glad I clarified this?

The daytime high is 60 in Columbia, so I'm guessing 50 or so at kickoff, no rain to speak of. We are going to beat them like they stole something no matter the weather.

VOLS offense is so hot, SCar officials will have to pull these out Saturday night to cool the whole stadium down. Book it!

It’s a night game in November. It’ll be in the mid to high 40s during the game. No precip. Why would this bother Tennessee? If anyone would be less acclimated to cold weather, it would be South Carolina. But I wouldn’t expect them to be affected, either.

Jesus H, I can't take anymore. When do we get "Regular Person Syndrome"? Ever again?

Dude. It was cold and windy and wet.

 

[Hopeful Vol]

No we will be fine. Vols by 4 touchdowns!
