The ground in Missourah will be cold, cold, on Saturday
It is November. In the Southeastern Conference, that means game time temperatures for an 11 AM kickoff should be in the sixties, or maybe the fifties if there’s a bit of a cold snap.
Or in other words, not this.
That is the kind of weather that is wholly appropriate for a November Big 12 game, not a November SEC game. According to weather.com, the forecast temperature at 11 AM on Saturday is 29 degrees.
Twenty-nine. Degrees. For reference, water freezes at temperatures below 32 degrees. Things will get better after kickoff, though. By 1 PM on Saturday, the temperature is expected to rise all the way to 33 degrees. And yes, you’re reading that correctly. It is currently snowing in Columbia.
