Dave: What is the temp down there?
Ramblinwreck.com: @Dave it’s a brisk 50 degrees here right now. Weather shouldn’t be a factor in the game, but the folks in the stands are definitely bundled up. The forecast calls for the temps to keep dropping during the course of the game, so we’ll probably be in the low 40’s by 11p.
Ramblinwreck.com: Tech has just completed warmups and is huddled at midfield right now.
Ramblinwreck.com: Tech is headed to the locker room now, and countdown clock is just under 36 minutes.
