If you remember back then the NFL schedule was only 14 games and the Liberty Bowl had the prime first Monday night after the NFL season ended. The game was well under freezing at kickoff. The UCLA players were all huddled under their coats and cold weather gear hopping around right before kickoff. Bear Bryant had Alabama take the field in short sleeves. Alabama won 36-6.

I was at that game, too. I sat in the SE corner (where UM student section is now), it was about 30 at kickoff, wind was 15-20 mph form the NORTH. I froze to death. Poured straight bourbon over ice at beginning of game, the ice never melted over the course of the game.

When 'Bama took field, UCLA was already on the field. I laughed as soon as the 'Bama guys came out in shirtsleeves.

My roommate and I used to wear mid riff fish net practice jerseys on the coldest days of the year in Memphis to intimidate the underclassmen. Everything was cotton back then so wearing a big cotton long sleeve jersey under your pads just soaked up sweat and made you cold.
He was especially nuts because if the field was wet he would come out of the practice locker room and jump into a big mud puddle.
Once practice or the game starts you don't get cold anyway. You forget everything including the crowd most of the time.
