What was the rainiest game you ever attended at W-B? Let's get them all out of the way. LOL!

[Freddie.B.Cocky]

The rainiest game I ever attended at W-B was a UGA game in the early 70s with one of my cousins. Gosh, I don't even think they were calling for rain because we weren't dressed for rain. Man the flood gates opened and water poured down the aisles in the stadium. We were sitting in the West Upper and my cousin was wearing a tan suede blazer and it had rained so hard that one could see the a water mark about half way up his blazer- and he was tall, too, over 6.0' tall.

I remember him saying that the blazer would have to be sent to NYC to be cleaned. I'm sure it wouldn't have to be sent to NYC today but that was in the early 70s.

Against Wake Forrest. 77 or 78

The ECU flood. Steps looked like waterfalls.

 

[ruffledfeathers]

Not W-B, but Lou's first game in Raliegh, in a tropical storm.

At W-B, been in a few good ones before the "suspended for lighting" era started.

The wettest was last year, with no rain gear, the game where we started playing better in the rain. Everybody was soaking wet and giddy as all get out.

That's exactly the way the steps were in the UGA game I described above.

What game was that?

 

[Garnet chicken]

Against Notre Dame and I don't remember the year. They got humbled and I got totally soaked and stayed the entire game.

 

[mavcock]

What game was that?

The 1999 game in Raleigh played during a hurricane. 10-0 State if I recall. Watson had a breakaway and was caught from behind.

 

[ruffledfeathers]

What game was that?

Pretty sure it was Missouri. Down 23-14 at half. Started raining hard in third quarter. We outscored them 17-0 in the third, and held on for a two point win 37-35. Only rained for about a quarter, but heavy.

I didn't attend that game but one of my cousins and his wife did attend. Like several others have stated by cousin said it was the rainiest game period he had ever attended.

Was there..
The water skipped down the stadium,, over the seats,,, with water going down the back of my rain pants turning the legs into downspouts

1992 when we kept missing field goals?

I was at that one. Harley set some sort of rushing record against us and driving the rain never let up. Then there was another deluge in which Moe Williams of Kentucky ran all over us.

Moe Williams was 1995. I was in a friend's wedding and we watched it during the ceremony.

 

[king ward]

Not at Williams-Brice, but Lou's first game as our coach was in a monsoon up in Raleigh. I was at that one, also. Knowing that a tropical storm was coming in, we took extra clothes and shoes. Otherwise, that long trip back to Lancaster would have been unbearable. That was sideways rain the whole ballgame. The thing I remember is that water never stood on their field, unlike on our field in the ECU and UK games mentioned above. They had some kind of prescription turf drainage system that we didn't have at that time.

Harley was in 1996.

I believe it was ‘95. Their RB Harley had a massive game. Just saw your above post. It may have been ‘96.

I remember we had one play where our WR was wide open and Wright threw to him, and it bounced off his hands like a brick. Impossible to throw the ball. We couldn’t run or tackle in that one.

And ECU fans are nuts already. Boy they were insane after that one. Those downpour have a way of bringing out the craziness in people.

Moe Williams, like many opposing players against us, did have a huge day. It did rain that day, but nothing like the ECU game.

Hurricane Floyd. That game barely resembled a football game. 9 times out of 10 they wouldn’t have played that game these days.

King, I think that was in 1993 and I was there with my boss who was a Clemson Board member. One of the most miserable games of my experience.

 

[cockhornleghorn]

Without a doubt, ECU in the mid 90's.

Yes, that one as a road game. Oddly enough, I had fun at that game.

My wife and I were at this game. The rain was constant, and the field was a mess, but I don't remember the rain being more than a steady downfall.

 

[be cocky]

what game was that in 94 maybe 95? it rained so hard the front row of the upper decks got clogged with trash and flooded everyone out? i remember around halftime some chris farley lookin guy with no shirt pulled a slipnslide across the fifty before being hauled off.

the windiest game was maybe the tennessee game around the same time frame. almost blew one of my contact lenses out. those were the days of our beloved starter jackets!!

You dont even have to specify the year. You say "the ECU game" and we all know which one. I think one of their running backs gained about 400 yards that night. Or at least that's what it felt like.

 

[be cocky]

The wettest game ever was definitely 11/20/99 closing out the season vs Clemson. Granted the loss wasn’t that bad at 21-31, but even though it didn’t rain that day I have never seen so many tears. It was like a monsoon washing over W-B after finishing out the 0-11 season. Kinda feels like the 2019 upcoming season, just going to be a sea of disappointment.

you bored man? no work tomorrow? you just trollin around like the rest of your fa**ot a** fanbase?

 

[sclawman77]

Only game I attended with weather delay where we had to leave our seats in the middle of the game was UGA '02. It was a lightning delay. There was some rain but not a deluge. That was the Jenkins to Pinnock fumble at the goal line game.

Harley. We made him appear to dwarf every running back in the NFL Hall of Fame.

Looked it up. It was ‘96.

There is no quempsum guy smart enough to be your boss, you should have been his boss.

ECU then Mizzou.

Well, Freddie, he happened to have been elected to the office he held.
He was smart enough to have chosen wealthy parents.

The year could not have been 96 as I was in Russia then. It had to be 93, or maybe 92, and as I remember the team was Kentucky.

 

[redrogers]

The flood when Moe Williams ran wild wasn’t anything compared to the flood he withstood on Lake Minnetonka!

 

[Thigh Man]

10/8/1983 Notre Dame 30 Carolina 6.

The entire second half was a down pour. My father-in-law was a Notre Dame grad and grew up in South Bend. I made the entire family sit through every damn raindrop, hoping he would get pneumonia. He didn't (get pneumonia), just to spite me.

Most fun I ever had at a game, too. And it wasn't very warm either. What year was that? '93?

Didn't even remember the actual game. Can't believe that was '96. Thought it was when I was still in school. I hope I got a free student ticket for that one.
