  Boise State was the first, so they were being original. This is just lame.
• FatHobbit

  

  I kinda like it. Army should do a camo version.

  I was just looking at this! I think it would be cool!

  I know the Field Turf where I coach fades over time. I wonder if EWU is ready to have a pink field.
• FatHobbit

  

  Hawaii could have rainbow turf...
• se-alum

  

  I think it looks pretty cool.

  I keep thinking of High Plains Drifter.

  I guess I could be wrong, but I thought teams couldn't have colored turf other than Boise since it has been around?

  ^^^this was my understanding too^^^
  
  But being 1AA means it probably doesn't apply
  
  No place for it in the game IMO, I personally think it's stupid.

  I'm not a fan of this. . . I think the inner baseball player in me craves that beautiful green field.
  
  More power to them though! Great publicity already! When was the last time we were talking about Eastern Washington on here? haha

  That is one of the facts when playing at Boise State on the loading screen for NCAA 2010
• ytownfootball

  

  That it only applies to 1A programs?
• bases_loaded

  

  No that Boise State because of being grandfathered in is the only school to have it. But the article states there is no NCAA rule so who knows?

  I like it!

  The game should be played on a green field--period.
• osudarby08

  

  I think it looks pretty sweet.

  It works for Boise, not sure it'll work for Eastern Washington.... now nobody really talks about the blue turf as much because they found out Boise can actually play football too

  That would be cool. They rocked the camo unis in the Navy game last year.

  Provides a bigger home-field advantage.

  Boise State hasn't lost a home game since Sep. 8 2001 against Washington State. Washington State finished 10-2 with a #10 ranking.
  
  Since that game, Boise state has won 51 Straight Home games.

  I can't even stand to watch a game @Boise State. In fact, I refuse, I want to see how they stack up but I can wait till they play away and not abuse my optical nerves.

  I thought there was too, but at least this link from Yahoo seemed to differ.
