I've been to some cold games, games that maybe werent that cold but the rain and drizzle made it seem worse. But the coldest game I've ever been to was at the Senior Bowl the year Tim Tebow played.I had gotten 4 free tickets from a buddy of mine and invited a couple that I was friends with as well as my girlfriend at the time. I also thought it would be romantic if I rented a room for my gf and I at a bed n breakfast on Dauphin Island,right on the water(what isnt right on the water on Dauphin Island). We came well prepared or so I thought. We had jackets, scarfs(no the scarfs weren't for me), blankets and we still froze our butts off. The wind coming off the GOM sent cold straight to our bones, there was no stopping it. We,luckily(yeah right) got to sit next to this 20 something year old blonde who apparently was in love with TT and gave all the TT haters such a mouth full that a sailor would have been proud of her passion.
So after we plied our frozen butts off the metal benches we decided to go eat some seafood and then head in for the night. We had a few dozen oysters, some crab legs and called it a night. Now I had seen pictures of this Bed N Breakfast online, had even talked to the owners(who by the way were a charming older couple), and the place looked great......online. In reality it was a 40s BNB whose best times lay behind it. The couple had done as good a job as could be done and certain parts of it were in great shape. However whatever changes they had made, the changes they made to the heating system were NOT enough. Our room overlooked the water so we had this nice 20 mile an hour constant breeze that made everything that much colder. And our heat for the night? This little bitty plug in heater that we couldnt figure out how to get to work as hard as we needed it to work. The thing about it was, is that it was like the first ever remote controlled plug in heater. One that may have been made in the 70s. Im sure some of you think that the new stuff is hard to program but let me tell you stuff made in the 70s n 80s were even worse.
I think the only time we were warm was on the drive over to Mobile and back. Six hours out of a three day weekend we were warm. To tell you the truth though it was cold as something I can't say on this forum, we had a lot of fun. We made some great memories, had a little bit of adventure and many laughs.
And that my friends is my story about the coldest game/BNB I've ever been to
