Low 40's and raining. Not as bad as Northwestern 2008. Thankfully our tailgate has 5 croc pots going

It's not going to be pleasant, but I doubt it's going to rank in the top ten of nasty games. Certainly not badge worthy. I just hope the lightning stays away so we don't have to be in it till midnight.

With '95 and '08 probably 1-2, then OSU and games we can't even remember. If it rains as hard as it has been, Western Michigan last year might be worse. Warmer, but I was drying everything I owned for weeks, even wrapped in plastic.

Heck, Purdue used to be regularly scheduled in early November and the weather always seemed to suck.

Not as bad? Are you sure there is a comparison?

Sitting through shite weather and watching the team lose to a bad team-- that is significant! Watching the team go Death Star in moderately unpleasant weather is expected.

This definitely does not qualify as Fandom Endurance IV.  In my opinion, a FE badge can only be given for a game in which 1) M loses and 2) is miserable weather for the entirety.  I think preference would be given for cold / rain / snow, but I would also be willing to give the badge if temps soared above 90 degrees with no cloud cover.

I can proudly say that I was at both the 2008 Northwestern game and the 2010 Purdue game. I imagine myself as an old man telling my grandchildren about that northwestern game and how horrible it was, but I stayed till the bitter end. I drove from St. Louis too.
