The movement to turn it into a track meet by guaranteeing the playing surface will favor the faster team is not something that I like.

Snow, rain, wind, fog, torn up turf... both teams have to play on the same field. Miami had to play on the same shyt field two nights ago and it ended the career of our best RB, but I never blamed the field for the result.

The Auburn/NW game had a wild ending to it. A review changing the call, roughing the kicker, fake field goal attempt, all in overtime. And a ton of passing, the NW quarterback was 47-78 for 532 yds. I got tired just watching them run up and down the field! Dale This space for rent

I think he will be ok, Dr's are getting real good at mending knees. Blame on that injury is on that horrible field, no one laid a hand on Cooper. Last edited by Oldelkhunter; 01/01/10.

The tallent won't go to Morgantown if surrounded by lack luster performance. WVU needs a head coach. That said, congrats to Bobby Bowden. He's a class act and always has been. He got a little revenge for being run out of Morgantown. The Karma bus always has an empty seat when it comes around.- High Brass There's battle lines being drawn Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
