quote:

The turf will be installed by Turfus and Sons, a subsidiary of Vandalay Industries, which is the largest producer of the rubber material found underneath dangerous playground equipment.

"Partnering with LSU just makes sense," said Art Vandalay, the President and CEO of Vandalay Industries said.

At least 20 pages if people thought it was real. And I feel that's underestimating it big time.

it would have the potential to create the biggest meltdown in the history of TD.com. More than Les at Ole Miss, more than Miles to Michigan, even more than the tigerhoney pics.

Actually, I hope this thread gets anchored, so I can watch the rantards in the morning. You know there are still going to be a handful of jackasses that take this literally.

I could tell that was April Fool's by the shocking coherence of the Miles' quote.

However, they did slip in a nice Milesism...

this team will enjoy the opportunity to play on what will be the finest surface in football


Hopefully they don't finish 2nd too often on this new surface.

I love that Purple Field. I wish it was for real. Get the purple field and then change LSU's uniforms to all Purple so they blend in. It would be cool.

From the article on LSUsports.net:

quote:

Tiny Gampshone, the junior executive strength and conditioning coach said. "It is really going to prompt muscle confusion in the other team as the brain wants to run on a green surface."
