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

I live in boise, will most likely will go to BSU and have been a fan for a long time

I am not riding their dick, but there are quiet a few fans that are, Just look at the attendance stats when they got good people are like oh shit BSU and then buy tons of BSU to "represent" a school they only like because their football team is good.


When they do start to lose will the following still follow?

Damn.

If you're going to waste 10k on a blue field, why not waste 2 or 3 more and actually make the color look good.

????? You suck at intrawebz. They could have actually laid the blue coat down and kept it more consistent looking. Who does that to a practice field anyway.

Boise States Turf is Blue.


and they really don't get any hate for it, the whole point of this thread was to state that Oregon state(who lost today to BSU) painted their PRACTICE field blue in preparation for the game that was tonight.

I thought you were referring to the color being a shitty color, thus insulting the BSU Blue turf.

I like the Blue Turf so I sarcastically said "Oh Good One"


Sorry for the confusion I had.

You have not done your research; very few college athletics departments actually turn a profit: "A newly released NCAA report shows that just 14 of the 120 Football Bowl Subdivision schools made money from campus athletics in the 2009 fiscal year, down from 25 the year before."
