4. Why do they do blue?

My niece went there briefly ... I have family in the area. I'll have to ask 'em what's up.

5. psst -- that's actually a photoshop of Georgia's Sanford Stadium

It was a photoshop in anticipation of the 2005 game that Boise State played at Georgia. It still shows up on google image searches, though, and I've seen other people post the same pic in similar circumstances :hi:

Here's Boise State's field:

7. That's right.

They photoshopped Sanford Stadium because they thought they'd come in and own the place. They were the sexy upset pick over us to begin 2005. Well, we jackhammered them 48-13 in a game that wasn't that close. They were then referred to as BOAISY (Bend Over And I'll Show You) State for some time. :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

And here are some highlights:

12. I think this field is nice looking.

The blue field in the op is ugly. Of course I don't watch footbal and don't really care, but there is my 2 cents anyway.

13. Not only that, but it seems like the network computer graphics...

operating the superimposed down lines didn't work so well (often intermittent). I wonder if the software was calibrated for green or something, and was only seeing half the Astroturf�.

10. Ow, my eyes! I just think ...

football fields and pool table cloth should be GREEN!

Or, like my lawn, a mottled mix of green and brown.

11. Apparantly a bunch of universities are thinking

its kinda cool to have a turf to match their uniform colors..a form of camoflage I suppose. I saw a story that other colorful turfs are being considered....
