Important Poll

[cb1954]

Now that some of the less important things are behind us, like the regular season and recruiting, its time for this unbiased poll. I posted an article a few weeks ago about Eastern Washington planning on putting in a red field. (its my first poll so I hope I don't mess it up)

the two-tone green doesnt bother me at all. Just as long as it doesnt get more pronounced.

I may be in the minority but I actually like the two-tone green field turf.

I say real grass & bring the Florida Gators to town as our 1st game

 

Although I don't think Gilly will get any playing time b/c he'd fall on his face before reaching the huddle.

 

On a serious note, I remember reading that almost 3/4 of NFLers prefer natural field turf to artifical, and I bet that's almost no different in college. I'm not sure if one form of turf causes more injuries than the other, but I've heard that players get more fatigued on artificial turf than on grass.

 

Plus, every time I see our boys with grass stains, I picture our back-to-back titles in '94 & '95. Don't tell me Bo's tough defenses wouldn't look even more fierce with grass hangin' from their facemasks & dirt in their teeth.

Real grass all the way its how football was ment to be played.

The FieldTurf we have now is excellent. Nebraska was the first high-profile team to use it, and we helped put the FieldTurf company on the map. Tom Osborne and Frank Solich were the driving forces behind the installation.

 

I believe FieldTurf is now used in over 75 pro and college fields. The players like it, and the field looks awesome.

Damn 1954, don't load your poll questions or anything....... Hideous two ton, god's intended all green field turf, yeah I'm sure god has a real horse in the "what color should Memorial's turf be" race........

If it was real grass how could I craft another beer pong table? two-tone for the win!

I am incredibly jealous at your beer pong table. I must get one.

 

I really really like the two-toned turf. I think it looks bad ass. It does cause more injuries, but in a crazy weather state like nebraska I think you need it.

I like the idea of real grass play but seeing that bowl game this year where the field was waterlogged and neither team could hardly do anything cuz the field was in such bad shape. I think fieldturf is the way it needs to be.

Same. Im a fan of it.

[BuffSurveyor]

I like the field we have as well. You can really tell the hards gained easier from high in the stadium. It also looks like the real grass field that the small college had in my home town when they cut it in 2 directions.

 

Next discussion?

I voted for one-tone turf. I don't like how the two-tone pretends to be cut. Then again, I don't like how turf pretends to be grass, but I think the quality of the playing surface is one concession I can make to players.
