Wintry conditions too much for North Alabama
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — North Alabama couldn’t physically prepare for the Kansas City weather conditions it faced Saturday in a 29-3 loss to Northwest Missouri in the NCAA Division II championship game. It just wasn’t possible.
The temperature registered at 13 degrees with a wind chill of minus-4 at kickoff. At the same time, at North Alabama’s campus in Florence, just over 600 miles away, the temperature was 70 degrees.
“It’s not like we’re going to have a big snow machine out on the practice football field,” quarterback Jacob Tucker said.
