    My wife asked a good question: why is that legal? Could other teams do the same? What if Tennessee had orange turf, or LSU had purple turf (with gold striping and numbers) or what if Mississippi State had maroon turf?

    First off, I told her that I don't think the SEC would allow it...but then, I sort of started wondering if there is ANY kind of rule about that gaudy stuff.

    Thank goodness I know LSU would NEVER do something that weird.

    But would it be "legal"?

    Seems to me that blue uniforms on blue turf was sort of like camo and could give Boise an advantage. If nothing else, the blue field is terribly distracting, isn't it?

    Just curious about the rules in real college conferences.

    ive always wondered that. on tv the players blend into the turf and make it difficult to watch. not to mention it makes my eyes feel like some is stabbing them with toothpicks.

    What a joke that thing is. The word abomination comes to mind.

    I only watch their games at that smurf field if it is the only game on.

    I turn my color off and watch it in black and white.

    Another reason to hate on the idiots at the NCAA that approved that crap. :cuss:

    there's a rule against it now. I guess they saw what sht looks like blue and decided to never let it happen again. Kinda like Roach in that movie about the kids under the stairs, or something. you can cut its tongue out, but it's still alive
