Ok, I'll finally share this gen pop because it will clear up some misconceptions

Big 12 does not require painted end zones. Or ISU and OU have exceptions.

Actually we have plenty of temples relative to the number of recommend holders.

And further - they actually get a decent amount of traffic during pregame warm ups.

My question is: why weren't the conditions bad for Iowa State?

They were. Maybe they didn't suffer as much because of it, but they did have issues.

ColonelMustard

Sounds like an admin issue and not a coaching issue. Holmoe should retire.

Cougzilla

It's a coaching issue and the ISU coach out coached KS.

How much could new turf possibly cost? Get a local sod farmer to donate the turf and give them free publicity at LES!

coastcat

reagan21

I’m not LDS. You most certainly have rubbed off on me.

Then you understand the culture really well. 😂😂

Yes, the good, odd, everlasting and reminiscent of how I was raised.

coastcat

11/14/23 3:53pm

I'm pretty sure the turf they have now came from a local turf farm in Payson.

Ungoy

11/14/23 3:55pm

The original turf was grown, the sand mixture came from Florida.

No wonder our offense goes 3 and out everytime. Just taking it easy on the grass

There is a spectrum of turf management. BYU is towards the bottom end.

Arizona and Las Vegas take quite a bit of time to prep their turf. Def not every game

None of this explains why ONLY BYU players were slipping around.
