to prepare for their upcoming game vs. BSU @ Boise State, Oregon State paints their practice field blue... $11,000 dollar paint job?


ridiculous.

They also got blue uniforms.


To me this seems like a waste of money for OSU.

they got blue uniforms for...? seriously ridiculous. I LOVE boise state's football program mainly because i'm a student there.. and we have really stepped up our game.

but the way to beat us isn't by wasting money on shit like this... some aspect of the game is mental but definitely not worth 11,000 dollars to paint their field blue..

For Practicing. You know when they scrimmage they want to feel like they are actually playing BSU.


and yes it was a waste of money

For the record, now that Boise is joining the Mountain West Conference next year, they have to change their field back to green. Conference said so.

that's shitty. i don't think it will affect much except it's pretty cool to have a blue turf.

It kinda sucks that football uses so much money that could be helping to educate students... I wonder why the U.S. is so fucked up...

true.. however many students wouldn't choose education unless an athletic program is made available at their school. and football programs bring in SO much money for the school... @ least at boise state. the population has increased tremendously since BSU landed on the radar for college football... which has raised funds to better education.

it can go both ways..

The Blue turf is pretty sick, I've been to a couple BSU games, and pretty much all the high school football games for my school are there.

it would be cool if each college had a different color field- would be close to impossible though but still sick

Yeah I fully understand. I just wish people placed more intrinsic value on education. You know, like get "FUCKING PUMPED UP" because their school has the best fucking molecular biology department in the conference, ya dig? I don't expect it to be solved. ITs just a bummer to me is all.

For almost all colleges, football is the biggest revenue maker for the college. Average Big 10 ticket price is $46. Wisconsin holds 81,000 people. That's 3.7 MILLION dollars. Per game. Plus TV revenue, plus team sponsors (Adidas, Nike, Under Armour). Plus concessions, and other sponsors. Merchandise.

The list goes on and on. Teams make Millions of dollars per game.

Not football, that one actually brings in money.

It kinda sucks how much schools waste on women's sports, those generate no money at all and cost the school a significant amount of money. Fuck Title IX.

You probably will stay undefeated since you've only got to play one hard game the whole year.  Louisiana Tech?  Utah State?  Please....

i agree. and i like boise state i watch every game of theirs thats on national tv. i dont think their fiesta bowl wins or undefeated seasons were "flukes"but they do not play the same talent that say Oklahoma plays week in and week out. yeah there is a real good chance that boise would beat oklahoma on saturday if they played. but if they had to play a Big 12 schedule chances are they would not go undefeated. yeah they would still be a great team but they would not go undefeated.
i think boise is really good and on a neutral field could beat just about anyone in college football. but at the same time i really do think alabama would hand them an asswhooping right now if they were to face each other in the NCG. but i think alabama would also destroy some bad NFL teams.

really the biggest misjustice is to boise and really all of college football is that there is not a playoff system. it would make everything so much easier. but there is just too much money made with how the system is set up right now and i dont see it changing.

oh and the other "good" teams have hard schedules? honestly thats the worst bullshit excuse people have continuously used to hate on a really talented football team. Take #6 Nebraska for example (who only beat South Dakota State by 14 today).

-Western Kentucky
-Idaho
-Washington
-South Dakota State
-Kansas State
-Texas
-Oklahoma State
-Missouri
-Iowa State
-Kansas
-Texas A&M
-Colorado

Lets see.... ONE HARD GAME! One god team: Texas. Actually, on second thought texas isnt even that good. They got raped by UCLA today. So Nebraska plays NO good teams, TWO less than BSU.

Ya that really worked for OSU didn't it.

so many hipsters I know are like "Fuck Boise State" on facebook. I kinda agree with the whole point that everyone is on BSU Football dick doesn't let you have a right to hate the whole fucking school.

unless you live in boise, go to BSU and have been a fan for a long time, then it doesnt mean you are ridding their dick

, but if you dont really care about football and are now saying you are a bsu fan because they are good, i can understand the hate.
