Wind chill in Columbus predicted to be 14 at kickoff

[BigTimeVols]

14° per weather channel app at kickoff

I’m ordering electric socks on Amazon right now!

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Okay. Thanks.

 

[Deeretractor]

I think it’s going to feel like 98

 

[DonDiego]

Okay. Thanks.

Great post. A lot of thought put into it.

I'm hoping our fellers put on long johns under their uniforms, double socks, and hoodies under their helmets. After 5 minutes, it'll feel like they're playing in the sunny south. The temps are worse on the fans than the players. Bundle up, guys---remember the layers rule.

I mean, it's supposed to be in the mid 20s in Knoxville at game time Saturday.

Not exactly a huge difference there

14 is cold, but it's not exactly ice planet Hoth territory

Well okay but it does get down there we can carve up Brutus like one of them Tauntauns and wear him around.

For those going, layers. Get a good moisture-wicking base, like a long-sleeve tee by Under Armour or similar. Follow that with a henley, then a flannel button-down, then a Tennessee hoodie, and finally either a heavy coat (ski coat, carharrt) or maybe even better, a light down coat with a shell (raincoat) over top. For bottoms. Get yourself some good leggings and wear em under jeans. You can even wear jeans over sweats, or get pants that are lined. Polypropylene liner socks underneath thick wool. Wear boots. Get some wool gloves and layer insulated leather or waterproof synthetic over top. Toboggan. Supplement with hand warmers.

You do all that and you’ll likely get too warm at some point, so manage your layers accordingly: sweat is the enemy.

Edit: as far as the game, bring on the cold. It’s an advantage for us.

Perfect weather for a team with a dominant run game and defense like Tennessee. Bad news for a team whose best players are at WR like Ohio State.

Break out the Kroger bags for the feet and the Vaseline for the body say Anthony Hancock and Sterling Henton who were guests on yesterday's Sports Source episode.

Bundle up, Randy.

Very clever lol

I’ll settle for it feeling like 96.

 

[Ernie McCracken]

The weather is no issue!! My lord. Columbus is not that far north. Non Factor!

The team who wants it more, WINS! Bottom line.

GBO

You can stay. Well done

Cold weather affects passing. That's my biggest fear in this game. If the buckeyes can't throw the ball, we'll likely grind them to dust. We are walking in knowing that we ARE going to run it down their throats regardless of the weather. They are walking in knowing that they CANNOT run it down our throats. This will be a defense heavy game for both teams. Low scoring. No one breaks 20 points. If anyone breaks 20 points, it will be because they found a way to get the passing game going. I honestly think they stand a better chance of getting the passing game going than we do.

I believe there should be no hosts for playoff games.
And all games should be played in domed stadiums or California, Arizona or Florida if they aren’t domed.
Playing games in 14 degrees is ridiculous especially for the fans.

I totally agree with the no home games in a "Playoff". A game at NEYLAND is most assuredly an L for opponents. I also disagree with teams getting a bye. What's with this "Level Field" Bullchit? So Tennessee plays a tough hard fought game against Osu, is banged up, and then travels again to play a well rested healed up Oregon? Domed stadiums or warm climates makes sense too.

Good. We can finally put this issue to rest and show Vol football travels in any conditions.

Whiskey and bourbon work well as well mixed with Hot Cocoa flasks within the super secret inside pockets of the down jacket

Alcohol is actually not good for you in cold temps.

You'll be great....at least until you have to pee.

 

[Tennessee Jedd]

Be sure and get a XXL jersey before you go, so you can wear it on top of all the layers! GBO!!!

When we went to Antarctica a few years ago, the most important thing was the base layer. We went with Merino wool for the base and then layered over that - usually a henley, a sweatshirt and a coat. We often ended up ditching our coats because the base layer was so effective. Good wool socks and good gloves were also essential!
