Mccarney Putting His Own Twist On Unt Spring Game

“That is why I want to get out of here,” McCarney said. “It’s bad turf. We had two knee injuries in the inside drill and two turf toes. It’s all worn out. It’s like playing on a street"

So.....can we move the Bowl game to the practice fields?

He should have seen what we were playing on before in 03 and 04. Lol

I played HS soccer and football on that field 3-4 times a yr from 94-97. It was brutal, literally chewed your flesh off the bone. I still cringe at the thought of those hard painted endzones that were like conrete.

And what's sad is that the turf that is down there now is so much better. That being said we played a bowl game on the newer turf a few years ago and I got my foot caught two different times and tripped, in regular shoes.

Great to have an actual game like contest versus those incomprehensible scored affairs of Dodge.

I thought we were bringing the turf over to the new stadium. Is that not true?

That sounds familiar to me as well. It'd be funny if that is the case and coach Mac has to backtrack on his statements.

No last I heard they would not be able to move the turf even if they wanted to. It will be brand new turf.

Heard a rumor that we are following the trend of Boise and Eastern Washington and that our new field will actually be GREEN.

Let's hope and pray it will be new turf. How many here were wondering if last year's rash of injuries was partly related to worn out turf?

[Daddy Dumpsalot]

I wonder how the UT spring game went?

I'm sure part of that was related to the turf but it looks as if the UA shoes may have played a part as well. Not all of the foot/leg injuries occured at Fouts.

Nike has been making shoes for a long time and they likely have the best going. But, if our new uniforms look anything like Oregon's I'll throw up (which I haven't done in more than 50 years).
