You got enough of those Sumo cars for everyone there? Can I drive one all the way back home to Memphis.

[The Space Age Hustler]

Does the UofA offer ponchos for sell on rainy game days at the stadium? I will be at the game tomorrow and would like to know if I should pick one up somewhere else. Thanks

[FreshHog]

I'd recommend getting them elsewhere. I personally got some awesome rain gear from Academy.

[Doug]

No, they don't offer them "for sell".

I bet they do offer them "for sale", though.

[swineology]

They can be purchased at Hog Heaven, by BWA

[BorderPatrol]

Weather? What weather?

bp

[BPsTheMan]

OTR said look for cool, crisp and dry weather.

"There will be no need for ponchos today folks," OTR was quoted. "All them tent cities is just folks showing off they tents. Status symbols really. Not for holding off no inclement weathers."



Don't shoot the messenger here please

[BPsTheMan]

I'm gonna go ahead and link this other weather thread that was made just a few seconds after this one was

It depends on the severity of the conditions. How cold it is? How hard is it raining? Is it windy?

If it's in the 30's, windy and raining hard you bet less than 60,000 will show up and many of those who do show up will leave early.

Free tix in tix forum with no response.  Could be sparse.

[HogimusMaximus]

Good to know.

Same! Just half as many. 3 of which are relatives and Ole Miss fans...

Boo, jk enjoy the game and cheer a hog victory.

[tusksincolorado]

Looks like you guys are going to need "The Arc" today! BTW...greatest Razorback Game I have ever attended was the AR/TX in LR with Joe Ferguson at QB when we beat them 42-7! It was the "mother of all rainstorms" that whole game.

GO HAWGS!  :razorback: 

[psooie]

My first Razorback game was SMU in Little Rock in the earlier 80's. Man i still remember some serious rain from that game.

1983, maybe? We had to bail under the WMS stands at least once for a weather warning of some sort, I believe.

[rljjr]

Yes I am actually

HA! Outstanding. I got a nice chuckle out of this. Well played.

[atekido]

If you was a Doctor you should know being in the cold does makes it easier to get sick.  The cold reduces the effectiveness of the mucus in the nasal passages and slows the response time of the immune system in general.  This in turn makes it easier for the rhino virus to get into the body.
Sorry but watching "House"  doesn't qualify you as a doctor unless you have watched the full series twice!


Back to the original topic.  The weather benefits Mizzou more than us and if it really is going to be low 30's and windy and fair amount of rain i can see maybe 40-50k showing up and if we are somehow down by 2 TD at half I bet maybe 35k will still be there by the 3rd quarter. If we are winning by 3 TD by half I also say maybe 35k will still be there lol.

Dad is now reminding me it was a tornado warning, fwiw.

[BillyHog53]

I live in Fayetteville and as of 12:50 i had exactly two inches of rain in my rain gauge with lots more coming

[hogpc]

When was the last time a game in Reynolds was anywhere remotely near 30k

Barrett just estimated 25,000 in the stands...

[Oklahawg]

Dad is now reminding me it was a tornado warning, fwiw.

Indeed it was.

Band marched at halftime with water over the tops of shoes.

I was told several inches of rain in the 2nd quarter alone. Don't remember the exact number but it was wicked to experience.

[Oklahawg]

This is the first time in a long time I've not attended due to weather. Winter weather advisory for my neck of the woods makes getting home dicey.

It is 70 degrees in my living room, and I'm not in rain gear.

Wish I was there to honor the seniors.

A pharmacist or a medical doctor?

[HognitiveDissonance]

That was 1983, the best team money can buy, SMU. They won 17-0.
Yes, it was a monsoon, driving rain, and tornado warnings. ABC took down their camera man from his perch in the south end zone in LR.

[HognitiveDissonance]

This was up there in the Top 5 for worst weather games to attend for me. Don't recall another game where it rained THE. ENTIRE. GAME. And cold. Gassing up the vehicle afterward I nearly froze to death as the NWA wind was cutting me in half.

Then get back to Central Ark and it's 10 degrees warmer here and doesn't feel too bad. Reminded me yet again that LR and Arkansas are southern but NWA is Midwestern.

[HuntsvilleHawgFan]

Yesterday!

Where were the 60k plus people you bet were going to be at the game?

Unless they came cleverly disguised as empty seats or somehow they got 30k inside the East stands club seating area, at no time was DWRRS anywhere near half full for yesterday's game.

Before you ask, yes I was there.  I was there in the upper west side stands an hour before kickoff and I was still there when AA took the victory formation kneel down to end the game.

Some one posted the radio guys estimated 25k, I think that is a fair estimate.

By the start of the third quarter, that number had dropped to around 15k, and by the end of the game, maybe 5k were still around, and 5k is being very generous.

Shortest bus line ever leaving the stadium for me, basically walked out of the stadium and boarded a bus for Baum, and no post game traffic at all.     

[razorbacker3]

Wally said 30k and Tom Murphy said less than 40k. Had to be a post 2000 stadium low.

[RebelAt]

It was pretty desolate by the end of the game. 

[Overtheroadtruckdriver]

It was a cold wet one.  I hadn't been to a game in a while and picked a dandy one to go to.  Found out my boots weren't waterproof yesterday.  Can't imagine a better day after thanksgiving with my son, however.  About every ten minutes he would tell me he thought the rain was letting up a little bit, just about the time it started raining harder.  What a great time we had, though.

You went to the game?
After the first fifteen times you told us you were going I just quit believing it and now here you are saying you really did.
