General team info

[Irish#1]

Highly variable, and the experience will be largely dependent on the quality of opponent/game.
The weather itself can be anywhere from 50's and sunny to 30's and raining (which IMO is far worse than 20s and snowing). But if it's a good big game - Miami, hopefully - you won't care either way. BC might be over by halftime and if the weather sucks you'll be sitting on your hands thinking about the cold, OTOH if it's pleasant it may feel like a party. SMU's a night game, and also one of our tougher opponents, so probably fun? But hard to say at this juncture.
Also I'm not sure we've played a night game that late in the season before. Regardless, like PumpDog said, if you dress for it and bring the right attitude you'll be fine.

Would that be bourbon or scotch?

Glendronach 21, Glenmorangie Signet or a dram of Lagavulin 16 in the fall with a Montecristo #2 or Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure #2 around the fire at the lake.

Nothing like a quality dram of scotch to sip on.

Nailed it. I was at Sr. Day vs. Wake forest in 2023, it was a high in the low 60s, sunny, beautiful day. Go back to Sr. Day vs. BYU in 2013 10 years earlier...single digit windchills and we were all frozen, but great game by Rees and co. taking out Taysom Hill.

Layers are your friend (including the beer/whiskey layer if you imbibe).

I’m not sure which player it was but I will writing a very stern letter about this individual in his two tone Cadillac and how his power driving led to me spilling my Red Bull.

Love it! I saw Matt Freeman report on it (see below) and had a glimmer of hope, good to hear, you can never have too much veteran D-line depth, especially from a consummate teammate like Junior.
