Very fascinating stuff.

but they forgot to mention that Russell Wilson will drink his Jesus water and none of this will apply to him.

[Harbingers]

And thats at 10... not 0 with a wind chill....

The biggest thing, is that it's just going to be really uncomfortable for everyone involved.  It'll be fun to watch, but man, I'm glad I'm not out there (or even in the crowd lol).

Yeah, compared to what they're forcasting for Charlotte next Sunday, that is absolutely horrible.

The good news is that tears are a saline solution, they won't freeze on the faces of Seahawks fans in attendance.

I was always taught that body heat loss through the head was much higher than 10%. Growing up I remember being told it was like 70% and that's why you needed to wear a hat.

You guys remember in 2013 when Colin Sackorpick against Green Bay was stating "I'm not cold, it's mind over matter."  And he didn't have his sleeves on?  What a clown.

If Cam had all the weapons he did at that time, Cam would've won a few Super Bowls by now.

Yeah... It's the same temp where I live today that it will be in Minneapolis Sunday. I just took my garbage out and it's f'n cold and I'm used of this crap. I have to think Peterson will be strapped with some sort of heating pad so his back can stay loose but even then, I can't even imagine how sore these guys are going to be.

You can layer up all you want but sitting there and not moving for 3 hours makes it impossible to stay warm. Really starting to regret my decision to go down for this game.

Anyone who says that the Vikings haven't played in those conditions...well, last year we played them and the high was 12 degrees, and they seemed to play alright.  What's crazier is they studied the game and found that there was a 20 degree difference in temperature from one sideline to the other...Let me reiterate, there was a 20 DEGREE DIFFERENCE from the home sideline to the visitors sideline.  Seahawks fans can downplay the weather all they want, but the Vikings have played in this kind of weather (or atleast close to it)...the seahawks have not and it more than the game, the weather will push their will to the absolute limit.
