thats a great idea - we win what? 2 games in two years? buying an orange rug should go right to the front of the line in priority for the football team and athletics in general becasue it will solve all the problems with athletics and football and everything...
of course you could have been making a bit of a joke - if thats the case you succeeded

I think it's a great idea to get new turf. The ol' Astroturf really scrapes off the skin and is a deterrent to recruiting. They redid the Tacoma Dome for about 850K using PureGrass (nice stuff). Orange? Nah.....copycat and would surely cost more.
Now, I realize 850K is a lot of money, but maybe this year the sacrifice games could be for football expenses and not shared so broadly? Just a thought. Heck, Georgia alone would probably cover more than half.

Personally, I think the NCAA should get on top of this colored-turf issue before it gets out of hand. Blue...now red, even the thought of orange makes me cringe...it would just be an expensive gimmick...follow the crowd kinda thing. Yellow, pink, turquoise, gold...where would it end?

The turf we have has it's issues, but until they can come up with a workable solution to our having to take the turf up all the time we will have live with it. For it's time it was great turf that was not directional, that was the issue with earlier turfs, they became directional with time. Compared to what NAU, Idaho, and Portland used to play on, it is still great stuff. Yes, field turf is better, but we still have two years of expected life in the turf we have, we should use that time to put the money aside for new turf development. As for colored turf, if it is as hard to watch a game on as Boise's, no thanks.

BSU has an unfair advantage in my opinion using the blue turf. The players blend right in with the turf. I guess until they change the rules it is okay but hard to watch imo.

What about teams like Marshall that play on a green turf with all green uni's? That argument is lacking.. Fact is, an orange, black, or white field, would be an embarrassment to ISU.. Let's gear up for a new green Field Turf, or Astro Play in a few years.. $750,000 to 1 million is what we are looking at..
