I do to but most places I've seen with short distances have padding on the walls. The brick looks so good it would be ashame to cover it with padding and it doesn't appear they are going to do that but I don't know.

There doesn't seem to be much space behind the far goal post and the wall behind it. Has anyone been out there to see how much space there actually is? If they don't put padding on the brick wall it could lead to some sudden, painful stops on long passing plays.

This!

McCarney likes the old school rocks instead of new fangled turf or grass.

I just noticed the goal posts are in. At 12:58 you can see the far goal post half way up. At 2:53 you see the near goal post half way up.

I agree that is was a good report. My only comment is that we did use the tightend a lot more than previously.

After seeing the pictures on MeanGreenSports.com I am offically jealous! If they do this again next year I may have to fly in for one of the events.

Best: The Navy game. Yeah, we lost but it was an amazing game. Add in the flyover ... the Navy fans ... my wife attending her first NT game ... it had everything except for the win. Worst: It was a game from the Dennis Parker error (era). It may have been a homecoming game. With just a few seconds left in the game we tie it up. Suppose we were to try an onsides kick. We would only have time for maybe one play try to move 30 yards into field goal range while if the opponent recovered they would almost be in field goal range already. Certainly anyone with a brain could realize that trying an onside kick at this point would be a horrible decision. Oh ... wait ... Dennis Parker is the head coach. Sure enough, onside kick ... opponent recovers ... one play later they kick the game winning field goal. After the game the players should have hoisted Dennis Parker onto their shoulders, carried him up the bleachers, and thrown him over the top rail.

Is calling someone retarded still a thing that's done? I don't recall hearing it used negatively since maybe middle school - some 25 years ago.

There's a lot of ways Fouts was lacking as a D1 stadium. The mid-field logo was only one of them.

I like that the stadium will have the space and amenities needed for the press. I like doing things the right way.

How about we have the center logo rotating through out the game. It would add a dimension to the game no other field has.

The reason is for television. Typically the television cameras would be on the visitor side of the field so the home team and the stands behind the home team would appear in the shot. Therefore, the mid-field logo would face the visitors.

It appears they have a layer of white stone or something similar completely covering where the turf will go. I wouldn't think they would that unless they were about to lay down the new turf. Anyone know when that will take place?

Start winning some big games and numbers will multiply.

Awesome! McCarney could speak at a furneral and everyone would leave fired up.

Dr. Phil Stadium?

I laughed out loud. Poor, poor WAC.

If the NCAA would enforce the 15,000 attendance requirement FBS would clear out quite a bit.

I don't see a way to give Coach a +1.

Awesome! ColoradoEagle deserves some +1's for posting this.

Mean Green Stadium - I love it! I wonder if when we get a sponsor it will be something like "Dr. Pepper's Mean Green Stadium" or "Frenchy's Mean Green Stadium". I would love that.

I didn't need to see the guy taking a shower.

In the video it sounds like Aston talked with Slinker on the phone after being hired.

I wish they didn't have a microphone that covered up her face but I loved he comments about her first view of the new football stadium. I replayed that part three times. She doesn't have the gift of the gab that McCarney has but I love the hire.
