Bud Grant was scheduled to sound the horn prior to kickoff, but it was so cold it snapped. Yikes. Not sure if the link worked or not.

Good luck today, hopefully no injuries!

Wow. That's insanity. I went to Beijing in winter and the coldest that got was like 15. Can't imagine what -4 feels like.

Good luck!

too bad I like that horn...although I will be glad to hear no horn today!

Over the winter of '77-'78 I was stationed at Great Lakes Naval Base going to Electronics Tech school, about 45 miles north of Chicago. Every 6 days I had to stand Shore Patrol watch (wandering around outdoors over a given route), and somehow always got the 10pm-to-2am watch. They would secure us if it got to -20F, but amazingly the time/temp sign at the bank never got below -19F... That's some real cold. Your body parts stop doing what you command them to. Your brain starts to think only in terms of getting warmer. I don't envy either team today! And I sure wouldn't pay for a ticket to watch from the stands today.

Nobody is going to get this, but... It'll be fine as long as their Ice Breaker is working.

No problem. Next horn up. This one was from the '09 playoffs. It's 1-0!

Hmmm, maybe a Seahawk landed on it. :stirthepot:

It got below zero here once, I think it was in '89, or '92 and was like 2 below, I remember being out sledding and and having a runny nose which froze to my mustache, GROSS!

Good luck!

At some point, the difference just doesn't matter any more.

 

[Optimus25]

Yup

Might have been...given that FG.
