Green is a normal color that the players are used to playing on. Teams who rarely play on a blue field are not used to the visual.


Really?

It is a huge advantage. Mike and Mike have talked about this in the last few weeks, and Boise State gets the largest home advantage (per Vegas odds makers) of any school in CFB. I think they got around 7.5 points, while UF, LSU, OSU, etc. got around 5.5 Tell me that's not an advantage, because everyone knows it's not the stadium.

The Oregon players are seeing blue players moving very fast on a blue field.


But the background they're seeing these players run in front of is the orange, blue, and white shirts in the stands, not the blue turf. You guys are acting as though the QB can't see the DBs because of the blue jerseys and blue turf.

And, if this was such an issue, you would hear more teams complain that they can't see Boise's players.

I'm just saying it looks horrible, and I think it would be awesome to have a yellow and purple tiger striped field to compete withe the Boise St. fugliness.

maybe it's because they play in the WAC, and the WAC is terrible...

Who gives a shite about the damn turf? It's their thing, let it go. Not like we have to play on it.


No Blue turf, but after the third home game we usually get to play on a lot of painted dirt and sand.

BTW, anybody notice how good the field at NC State looked?.........
