nebraska Game Weather

In the words of Jordan Belfrie from Wolf of Wallstreet: "I have been a rich man and a poor man, and I choose rich every F'ing time."

Rich people get bored too, I am sure. But, it would be nice to have near limitless ability to choose the manner and mode of what bores you. :)
A rich bored man has nobody to blame for that besides themselves. If I was rich at this stage of my life I'd probably not travel a ton just occasionally. I'd just have a home that has everything I'd want and being 'bored' would be my happy place. Now 20 yrs ago hell even 10 I'd have done a lot of travel and went to sporting events all over. Now a lot of that just doesn't interest me as much.
 
Every Sept during the 85 degree games I curse that my seats at Kinnick are close to the field, because even if there's a breeze we don't feel it...and it cooks. But this time of year I thank the Football Gods to be out of that wind at the top of Kinnick when it's 25 degrees!
 
Both my adult sons are visiting from out-of-state for Thanksgiving, and are pumped about going to the game with me. The temp will be a bit of a shock for my oldest son coming from the Bay Area of CA, not so much for the son from WY...but I'm sure we'll all be well-stocked with full flasks of the good stuff to keep warm!
 
Only NFL game I ever went to happened to also be the worst worst football game I remember sitting through. It was week 17 of 2002 when the Bears played the Bucs in Champaign, because they were still renovating Soldier Field. I looked things up out of curiosity and the temp was in the upper 30s at kickoff, but we were sitting toward the top of the stands and it was windy and bitterly cold. Game was a shit show and ended 15-0 Bucs with Gramatica kicking 5 field goals in one of the ugliest games I'd ever sat through. Not sure what the wind chill was, but it was brutal. I sat through many Iowa games in similar temperatures, but never in the nose bleeds (2nd row from the top) with the wind blowing in my face and at night. I wouldn't wish that combination of bad football, weather, and just bitter cold on anyone.

Stay warm my friends I'll be watching from the couch.
