Aren't we some baller farm school? If we can't do grass we may as well start teaching law or some other stupid bullshit. Get it together KState.

Turf = Kroger brand grass.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Ya. I thought that they were supposed to be doing turf studies or what have you over on Colbert.  At least that was thrown around when they were introducing Colbert Hills.  Where are the fruits of that research?

I've never been on a high quality grass football field but I doubt they are anything like fairways or greens. They wouldn't last very long.

I don't think arrowhead looks like crap.

I agree that we need another wheat skyscraper, but this one would be for grass instead

I am OK with a turf field.  I don't really care one way or the other, though.  However, I would like to see us be flashier with the end zones.

Santa Clara probably has the most pud weather in the world and the Niners spent a billion on their new stadium and they couldn't figure out grass.

Look, if there were thousands of George Tomas and we had our very own to take care of grass and make it look great, I'd be all for it. But there aren't and with so many variables to control too often grass looks and plays terrible. #teamturf

It's a shame all of these once-proud institutions have succumbed to the temptation of a few dollars saved and a few less worries over grounds keeping.
