I think Kedren looks jacked but where is the love coming from? Did he get some snaps that I missed? I remember a few carries 4ish games ago but that's it.

Don't love the weather report. Bad weather always favors the less athletic team. IMO, as long as it isn't super windy, it favors passing teams as well. WR know where they are going and DBs have to react, bad traction causes slips. It is also hard for the line to get a push on slick fields. Here's to hoping the ground crew can keep the turf clear.

I see temps in the 20s with a 20 percent chance of snow showers? That doesn't look that bad?

Forecast here isnt as bad as what others are saying. Most of the snow is supposed to be early in the day and bring very little accumulation.

It’ll be, at most, an inch of snow

I’ll gladly take the snow globe game against BC from ‘22. In the first home playoff game, legendary.
The most miserable I've ever been in my life was BYU 2013 which was a similar temperature as what we're looking at Friday except we also had 30 MPH wind.

I'm hoping for flurries just because it'll look awesome but it doesn't look like the kind of snow that will affect gameplay much.

I remember watching that game when I should've been studying for a law school exam. One of those games where I shivered watching it through the TV.

I remember the 2008 Syracuse Senior Night game with the snowballs and Manti's campus visit where he got off the plane in shorts and sandals. That was the coldest I'd been in ND Stadium. I despise cold weather and generally make it a point to not attend games past Nov 1, yet here I am.

In my experience, fan comfort comes down to wind more than anything. If it's windy, we're all going to die.

As a newly minted 21 year old that year, my buddies and I trekked from Terre Haute to SB for this one in a 1999 Dodge Stealth. Took forever bc that car sucked. Three of us split two racks of Busch before we went in. Even the the false warmth 20 lattes bring couldn’t warm my bones that day. My buddy passed out in the bleachers and it was so cold the ushers didn’t even care. Truly an act of God for Manti to have committed after that fustercluck.

The worst part of the Syracuse game was standing in/on 2-3 inches of snow. As the game wore on, it was like your feet were in blocks of ice. The cold just ran through you at that point.

This was my wife's first ND game, she spent the whole second half in the women's bathroom because they had one of those torpedo heaters running. But yes, worst ND experience of my life as well....And the driving force behind making zero effort to attend this game on Friday.

Ugh. Yes, that was probably the worst part.

Ha. Yes, the bathrooms were the best warm shelter. And yeah, I originally said no to this game on Friday and it's because of PTSD from 2008 Syracuse. I think I underestimated the cold that day though. I refuse to do that again. I'm gonna be lookin' like Randy from Christmas Story.

I've been to the 2008 Syracuse ice box, the 2013 BYU game (was reported at the time as being the coldest ND game ever), and the 2017 Navy game in the wind, rain, and 40 degree weather. 2008 was the most miserable by far because the stadium did seem to be encased in snow. Didn't they hand out towels or something to people for that game to wipe off seats or something? 2013 had a good amount of wind and was cold but didn't seem nearly as bad as either 2008 Cuse/2017 Navy.

Only game I’ve ever been to at ND. F’ing cold. Pretty sure it got into low teens or colder and that it was coldest home game in decades. Didn’t need ice in the cooler during tailgating.
