What is the consensus on the new field turf at the Tigue?

_ Try working on the field all day after a downpour so that you can get the game that night in. You can't have it both ways. The turf makes for less rainouts, plus I'd imagine the players enjoy being able to sleep rather than having to show up at the field at 5am to pull the tarp off on a gameday. _

I've heard quite a bit about "that effn tarp". I don't remember the tarp as part of the recruiting process.

I say tear it up and send it back. I've tried to adjust to it throughout the season, but I can't. Obviously it's cheaper. Who knows, when they renovate the Tigue they may even redo the brick interior with plastic bricks like Tulane...that saved a fortune. It's wishful thinking, but I pray that one day they'll at least bring back dirt for the infield. Shreds of rubber flying after a big play just isn't the same, and the bubble gum infused into the turf is killing my shoes.

_ Only in Lafayette. I seriously doubt there is another school with more excuses than Lafayette/UL for people not attending football games. _

_ Just like 4pm kickoff times arent a problem for school A, B and C. Stop the spin. That turf is garbage.

Couldnt come up with with more than three baseball programs trying to save money by installing that crap? _

By what standard...yours? Garbage! Get a freakin brain moron! The fact that you couldn't name those three tard tells me you don't have a clue! Spin! Your opinion doesn't make it garbage clown!

Am I getting senile? I seem to remember us moving to 6pm kickoffs years ago.

Robe and the players wanted turf. I'm all for it. Why are the fans complaining? They don't play on it.

Beau, if you go back read CazyBalls post on this board, he has two common themes. 1) Never positive about anything. 2) If you don't agree with his opinion, you are spinning for the administration's decisions. His last post was too idiotic to ignore this time around.

Today(Sunday) was probably the warmest home game so far this yr. Sitting near the field u could feel the heat coming off that turf and smell the rubber pellets with the heat. I wonder if the players felt a difference today with the little bit of heat?

No arguement with the heat coming off the field, but it certainly didn't look like our athletes had any problems today or this weekend.

I didn't make any of the games this past weekend, but it was thinking the same thing....our athletes had no problems with the heat this weekend!
