You wanna figure it out? Get us in a real conference that has more than five conference games. When you're scheduling six non-conference games a year you're bound to get a crappy team on there.
SJ, I'm not banging on anyone, just voicing some mild frustration. Coach does a good job with what he has to work with. I have wished forever that we could get into a real conference. I agree.

I wasn't saying you were targeting that to any one person. I was just saying that's our biggest problem. I can see why Coastal wanted out of the Big South when their program was good. We've gone from the worst team in the country to our conference holding us back in three years. I had a CAA coach tell me if we were in the CAA, we'd be near the top every single year.

Congrats on getting new "free" turf..............I, too, thought the field looked rained-on during telecasts.

I know...when I watch on tv it doesn't look that clear either...I thought it was just the station...aparently not!

The first layer of turf is up. Someone on campus with a camera can get a picture of it. It's not much to see but I thought I'd update you.

The logo is just laying there in the middle of the field. I wanna walk out there and grab it. I don't know what I'd do with it, but I want it.

I saw them pulling the turf up. What are they doing with it? Anyway I can get them to run it up the mountain and install it in my front yard? The white lines might look funny buts its an upgrade over they current dirt/rock mixture that I have now.

How can this company afford to completely replace everything that they installed at no cost to us? I imagine they've had to do it at other fields too. They must have an insane profit margin. It's like getting 2 fields worth of material and labor for the price of 1.

I'm sure they have a substantial profit margin, but I think it's also safe to say they "took a bath" on this installation and any others they had to do twice. Nonetheless, what they are doing is good business. If they didn't make good on clearly faulty installations like this, they would never sell another one. Needless to say, if they have to do too many, they won't be around long.
