Still think EWU & UCA's are worse.

If you want to talk about worst actual field, not color, the old Forester Field where Bryan Adams plays, The turf used to be so thin, it was essentially like playing on concrete, and it was actually coming up in places. You could actually reach down with your fingers, and leterally left it up like loose carpet.

Rudy....I agree on Forester 110%. I went to North Mesquite and we played Thomas Jefferson there. As you stated, was thin carpet over concrete. But probably even worse than that was the old Highland Park field. No grass, no lines. When it was dry, it was like playing in the dust bowl, when it was raining it was even worse.

The stripped fields look better than the all blue or all red. Much less painful to the eyes.

I think it looks great. Nobody believes it's real grass. Nothing wrong with having some fun with the colors.

[oldguystudent]

I didn't realize it was red until I read the article. I thought it was green and gray. Color blindness. Such a disability.

Pssht. Everyone's behind us - The Mean Green's turf has always been green.

Agree. UCA's field that is like a combination of purple and something that they did last year was pretty bad, but still miles better than that one Eastern Washington did that was all bright red.

I thought for sure that this was going to be another thread about Fouts Field

Hideous is an understatement.

Maybe the NCAA should put a stop to the "non-traditional color" field.

[meaniegreenie]

You guys should have seen some of the small school fields (at least back in the 80s). Literally fields. One place we played was essentially the edge of a pasture and about 1/4 of the field was solid grassburs. You would be covered in them after a play.

NCAA doesn't have the power to do much.

Rudy,

Who was your coach when you were there? Head coach was Charlie Qualls for me. I played noseguard and my d line coach was Gus Hernandez. He was a great guy...just passed away few months ago.

My oldest son is a freshman at NT playing football.

You and me both brutha. I didn't even read the article yesterday... just looked at the picture, assumed it was green/white and closed the tab.

Mark Elam. My Senior season we went to the State Quarterfinals, but lost to Lake Highlands and that tricked up BS wishbone. We would have tied it up with under 5, but those retarded tiebreakers forced us to go for two. That game caused the overtime they use now. Remember the speech/debate teacher? That is my mom.

Did you also play uphill, bothways, in 2 feet of snow?

I can sort of live with UCA's but everytime I look at EWU's field I see red.
