I've had the sound turned down. Did they actually say that? This isn't even close to the coldest game UT has ever played.

Yes, they said that, and I know I've attended colder games.

I went to two games in the 2000 season alone that were colder- at MSU and UK in Knoxville.  And I wasn't there, but I understand that the Cotton Bowl against KSU was colder than either.

I'm not sure I agree, but here's what the UT official we site says:

FOURTH-COLDEST: Saturday's game featured a kickoff temperature of 28 degrees, making it the fourth-coldest start to a game in Tennessee history and the Vols' coldest since a 42-7 win over Vanderbilt on Nov. 26, 1977, in Knoxville when kickoff temperature was 25 degrees.

The coldest game in UT history was a 7-0 win over Kentucky in 10-degreee weather in Knoxville on Nov. 25, 1950.

It wasn't as cold tonight as two years ago

Difference?  Little wind

The wind was a killer two years ago.   I was in the end zone opposite the open one so it was blowing right into me.

a hell of a lot faster getting out
College, which was a parking lot two years ago was essentially normal traffic.  Also, I was smart enough to turn onto Broadway this time to get to 63.
All told, about 1:45 to get back to STL from engine start to shut down
