Watching Marshall-Purdue game and noticed every time a step is taken on the turf that ground up (supposedly cancer causing) tire mixture is flying everywhere. Looks like exhaust from a tailpipe.
I thought they deemed that stuff as lethal but the turf looks to be loaded up.
John did not notice the coaches shirts until now but did note yesterday the players jersey's and helmet's with their patches/stickers are starting to look like a NASCAR fire suit.
Good game BTW!

Football on anything but grass is a crime - almost as bad as running sprint cars on pavement/asphalt.

8-1 headed into tomorrow's game.
I wouldn't mind at all finishing 8-2.

Football on anything but grass is a crime - almost as bad as running sprint cars on pavement/asphalt. Sweet! I take this chance to join in agreement with the 1st curmudgeonly rant of the season. I do have to say that domed fields annoy me much more than turf alone. Football is supposed to be played outside and in the weather. And on grass too for that matter. But I can see why turf is preferred. I don't have to like it though. Will

Anytime that curmudgeonly is needed, I am only too happy and willing to fill the void (just ask my family).

Why the Hell a team would build a climate-controlled dome in places where weather gives a home field advantage (MN, AZ, NoLA, etc.) is beyond me. I've said for years that there should be no domes, and the season divided in half. The first half of the season has no games played north of essentially the Mason-Dixon Line run coast-to-coast. The second half of the season has no games played south of that line. This is especially true for the NFL.

Snyder wants a dome. Snyder wants a Superbowl in HIS dome. Snyder wants to relocate HIS soon to be domed team back to DC.
Oh the blasphemy!!
I wished Snyder wanted out of football. Fat chance!!

I'd love to see Texas scheduled to play in Ames in November - never happen since Texas cracks the whip in the Big XII. Why the Hell some of those remaining Other Big Can't Count teams didn't leave when the realignment was going on is just beyond me. With the ACC now covering the entire coast, having teams play outside in Clemson, Atlanta, Tallahassee and Miami early, then Boston, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, and Blacksburg late would be one hell of a test of a team's ability to play in all elements and conditions. Same same for the PAC-12; outside early in Tempe, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and then late in Pullman, Corvallis, Boulder... that'd be a good one to test the merits of the teams involved.

The bigger question is why the Big 8 ever went for that damned BIG XII in the first place. The answer, of course, is purely and simply, money. To be a "viable" conference today, you have to exhibit the kind of television audience that commands the advertising dollars to provide for bigger and better facilities in order to keep up with the Joneses. Like so many things (weight training, for instance), it is just a matter of upping the ante in order to remain in place. Used to be a much simpler game; the competition was fine, and the level of play was perhaps even better than it is in this era of overspecialization. Please check earlier in the thread for clarification on the curmudgeon factor.

Congrats, byc! Week one, and the blind squirrel got a nut right off the bat. Don't forget that this is a marathon, not a sprint.

Looking good out of the gate David. The first week is usually a tough one and you put a nice one together. PM me a group of 5 and we'll tee this thing up and everybody a fresh crack at you.

Nice work! Throw some non-big-time games in to annoy the masses.
