Seems like most terf fields have a ten year life span. If ours lasts 30 then we got a great deal

I will be 85 or so. Can't remember how long we have had it, a few years, at least. By that point, I don't care.
 
We start winning and I might care about the turf or grass we play on. It's a bit like the men's and women's tennis clubs that cannot play a lick of tennis but have to look like a million bucks walking onto the court.

I am fairly certain we do.



It is designed to last 30+ years; so learn to love it.

It looks like we got the most cost effective product. In my mind, traction and injury prevention would be more important than having a product that lasts thirty years. Creating a turf that lasts thirty years has to be a trade off with other characteristics.

The other issue is that the technology improves. Having the same product for thirty years is not an optimal decision.

If you accept that field in the condition it is in, you are no friend of mine.

Basically we traded shitty uniform supplier for shitty field. We apparently have to maintain some sort of relationship at all times with a “Tech Man” manufacturer of a crap product. So once we finally got rid of Russell, we had to find a new crap product to tie ourselves to because Tech Man.

Our natural grass surface was perfect..some of the best if not the best grass in the nation. We screwed it up. Place blame as you will.

The grass was far from perfect hence why they changed. Field had huge dead patches in it
 
It's hard for me to bitch about the turf after experiencing the turf in the late 70's early 80's. Thin grain, virtually no padding, severely crowned field. Slippery as ice when it was wet. If you lost your footing while running from the middle of the field to the sideline, you wouldn't stop until you got trapped in the gutter on the inside of the track, trapped under the chainlink fence.

Our surface is step below what the Colts, Bengals, & Ohio St have. I believe us & Colorado St have the same field surface

Nah, we traded ööööty uniform supplier for another ööööty uniform supplier. And it is more like we tied ourself to a Tech Booster instead of a Tech Man. With our financial situation it would be rather dumb to callously start alienating our boosters.
 
It's just so stupid to me and indicative of the way our culture overall is in decline. We wholesale accept it, we retail pay for it, we commonly acknowledge there's something messed up ($6.50 today for 18 eggs?) but we don't do anything about it. It's literally stupid. Why the hell are we doing stupid shit? It's stupid.
 
Athletes who suffer lower body injuries on the fake stuff should start suing the turf manufacturers. That’s how you get rid of this stuff.

There are some things you could do about the price of eggs if you feel that your culture is in decline. You could quit eating eggs or get some laying hens and eat your own eggs.

If only. But the culture is still in decline.
