[LaGrid]

_ are the number on each side of the field supposed to be different sizes. the numbers on the student side are smaller. they look like the numbers that were there the other day. _

Ha!

The picture of the new field turf on the RaginCajun website has always had a black endzone with red & white Louisiana lettering. Why the surprise now?

what exactly is BRI?

bil ryckman's insistence to please not use the term field turf with any descriptions of new surface .. (grins)

ps. a continued small request.. am aware of lawsuits for such tiny inferences at times.. not so much with message boards.. but in the bigger scope of things (sad to report.. but true)

The numbers are the same on both sides, they are perfect. I looked today

I wonder if the weather will push the completion date back

I hope not, since we are supposed to get scattered showers for the next week or so.

Just got back from " Ajun field". Took a late lunch to be able to go out and look at the field for the first time. Looks good... all the carpet is down. Just a small section in the south endzone left to go... then the application of the mid-field and endzone logos. Can't wait to see it completed.

Once request, though, for Scott Farmer to consider. PLEASE FORCE SOMEONE TO HAVE PRIDE IN THE FACILITY AND GET THE GRASS CUT EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE OFF SEASON! My guess is that the OTHER "Swamp"... you know, the one in Florida... doesn't have weeds all over the place. I bet they consider it "sacred ground" and make a point to keep it looking nice REGARDLESS of what time of year it is!

PS Glad the SEC didn't get a baseball title last night!

Webcam doesn't seem to be working for me right now. But unless things have changed from the last pictures in the photo gallery, they still have to put down the hash marks in the middle of the field and the individual sideline markers.

That has been my beef for years. We simply take no pride in the appearance of our property and facilities. There is NO EXCUSE for uncut grass and weeds around the complex. That is also my concern for the grass in the upper endzones. We will have a great looking field and lousy looking, unkept grassy upper endzones. Doen't anyone at the athletic department see how horrible this looks on a day to day basis? It is embarrassing to take anyone by our facilities.
