Breaking News!! Artificial Turf

[GT flunkout]

Have to assume that #19 would be honored.

Hopefully we are a classy enough program so we dont have to ID it with the name of the player.

How could every Tech fan not know?

And if we keep the H O.F. names on UE facade - I hope we remove Bobby Gaston.

So what's the deal with Gaston?

SEC official

SEC official

A punk azz Head of SEC officials that punished the ENTIRE crew who did the GT vs ugag jasper thanks game.

Didn't have the integrity to stand by his crew for not cheating for an SEC team.

No room at Grant Field to honor him imo.

I was at BDS that day and remember what happened to the officials.. Had no idea about the Gaston GT connection.

I was there, and I remember the call, but, other than the mutts b****ing and moaning, what happened to the officials?

Well, at least turf doesn’t need water.

The Hemphill Pumping Station is right near campus at Northside and 14th St. if one of the largest pipes leaving that places gave way, it would be easy to see that much water.

What if I told you the turf may be all gold like our version of boise states field?

I’d want all white field with some darker old gold lines if we were going nuts with the field, but allegedly that’s not allowed any more.

The problem with a gold field is that it just looks like dead, dry grass.

That would not be allowed, but the reason is because the yard lines and any yard numbers printed on the field have to be white. The field may be any other color, however. There were some rules changes proposed some years back that would have outlawed it, but I don't believe they were ever adopted. If they were, I can't find anything stipulating that in the rules.

The rules:

Scroll down to Rule 1 - The Game, Field, Players, and Equipment

I see nothing in there about the color of the field.

The field in that picture does look like dead, dry grass - same color as my front lawn in a drought.

But if the field were a deep, rich color of old gold...

I would be willing to bet that that decision was made by the commissioner with lot's of "input" from Athens.

What was so bad about it was that it was intended to intimidate officials for making a decision that was seen as handing an ACC team a win over an SEC team. The message of bias was unmistakable, because there's no doubt they would have done nothing had it been the other way around.

This even though the officials did what their own SEC officials' handbook told them to do. In the event where no one saw whether a loose ball was caused by the ground, they were to defer to it being a fumble. Their view of the play was blocked. They did exactly what they were supposed to do.

Looks good! Now let’s just paint it like this and it will be perfect. Looks like it’s the turf where you can change the paint for every game tho

Not sure about the frequency that it will be changed but I think I read it will be easy for them to make changes.

You guys know I don't get as hyped up about the lack of Gold gear as some on here, but I gotta tell ya @Gold1 - this field is just about perfect.
