And we get to see that horrible blue turf they have in Boise very early this year.

LOLOL, my grandparents have been Boise State season ticket holders for a REALLY long time--at least as long as I've been alive. Well, when they laid down the new blue turf the BSU Athletic Dept. auctioned off a bunch of the original turf that first debuted back in' 86. Not only did they win a very big piece of the old turf, I went on Google Earth and checked out their house and you can see the piece of blue turf they have in their backyard.

Anyway, thought I'd share that.

LOL!!

Actually that's pretty cool!!

I remember seeing a short piece on ESPN about how they have to clean dead birds off of the field sometimes during migration season because the birds mistake the turf as a pond.

I was watching a Boise State game about three years ago. The sideline reporter told how the grounds crew periodically has to remove dead and inured ducks(not Oregon) from the blue turf because they mistake it for a body of water and attempt a hard landing. Where's PETA when you need them! LOL! except to the ducks.
