    I was at the game and wore jeans and UT windbreaker. I am so glad I did. I thought I might have to take off the windbreaker at some point. Weather.com was saying that during the game it was going to be ~65.

    I guess the front moved in earlier than they thought? Just wondering how cold did it get? Trying to judge what I need to wear at the next potentially cold game b/c that windbreaker wasn't enough for whatever it go to.

    2 of the guys I sat with wore shorts and one was also wearing sandals and a t-shirt. He looked miserable by halftime. I was in better shape than him obviously but I have other UT gear to wear when it gets colder. I was wishing I had that one then...

    all i kept thinking was, two weeks ago i nearly had a heat stroke.

    I didn't mind the cold one bit; It has been a brutal and long long hot summer. i was in shorts and a t-shirt and loving every minute of it!

    A cold night game. It had been a long time.

    It was the perfect weather for a Longhorn snuggie.

    Didn't listen to my wife and wore shorts and a t-shirt. She made me bring a windbreaker. Probably saved my life. I had the shakes by the fourth quarter and left when we were up by 17. I don't know if I shouldn't have stayed and died because I had to listen to her lecture me about not listening to her all the way back to Galveston.

    I was in shorts and a longsleeve T with another T over that and I was fine, especially once I got into the stands. I was a little chilly at the tailgate drinking cold beer without a koozie, but once I got one my hands warmed up and I was fine.

    I'm pretty hot-natured anyway, and I sit on the lower east side where it wasn't breezy, so there might have been folks colder than me...

    I had on jeans and a long-sleeved t-shirt. I was cold but not uncomfortably so. It was nothing compared to the painful level of cold you experience at the Disch in early spring.

    I had jeans and a short sleeve polo and was just fine. My girlfriend next to me was freezing though towards the end of the game. /shrug

    I had on jeans and long-sleeve shirt and was pretty cold in the west side upper deck. Definitely could've used a sweatshirt and gloves.

    Would have been nicer if I had on my UT Columbia fleece or a UT sweatshirt... but glad I had something.

    Felt miserably cold in the west side upper deck wearing coaches polo, shorts and windbreaker. Long pants, sweatshirt and light jacket would have been perfect.

    It was very cold. The weather forecasts for our games have been pretty poor as the Tech and UTEP games were much warmer than predicted.

    and the ULM game was unseasonably mild and downright pleasant.

    I loved the cool night just wish I had prepared better for it.

    The wind was really what hurt on the west side upper deck. If it was 58 degrees outright, my light track jacket would've been just fine. With the wind, I was wishing I'd brought my hoodie.

    I think it was the wets side upper deck and wind that made it so bad up there. And it never warmed up that day so most of us started out a bit chilled - I expected to warm up at the tailgate and walking. Not so.

    It seemed MUCH more comfortable after I got home. I am not complaining after the long hot summer.

    It was ~55 at the end of the game. It felt cold because it was breezy, and more especially because there was so much moisture in the air.

    It was cold due to the wind and moisture. Also, our bodies are used to 95 not 55 degrees.

    After the game, walking back to the car, it did not seem nearly as cold.
