Gatorade bath at around 13 degrees

[Potomac Griz]

This was from UNLV's win on the 21st over Air Force which made them bowl eligible.

Temp at that time of night (after 10pm) was in the low teens with some nice wind gusts and wind chill below 0 if I remember right.

Thought some of you might enjoy this :lol:

Has a Gatorade bath ever turned deadly?

Possibly. In November 1990, 72-year-old former Redskins and Rams coach George Allen led Long Beach State to a season-ending victory over UNLV, and his players rewarded him with a dunk from the cooler. Dousing a septuagenarian with cold liquid is a questionable move even in a temperate climate, and the drenching did quite a number on Allen's body. He died of ventricular fibrillation on December 31, 1990; just one week earlier, he had commented in an interview that his health had never really returned following the bath.

Don't blame Allen's death on Gatorade, though. According to Allen, the team "couldn't afford Gatorade," so the possibly deadly liquid barrage was regular old ice water.

You guys must be a blast at tailgates "Don't eat that hot dog, people die from obesity related diseases every day..."

Hauck sure didn't look like he minded, since it's kind of a sign that your team won a HUGE game (which they did). It may be a stupid tradition which has been around for decades, but there are quite a few things in this world that can kill you, including playing football. Should we just toss aside every little tradition and fun activity because of the very tiny risk of injury or worse?
