ETA:

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.


My favorite part!

This is brilliant!! Kudos to them for this great April 1st joke.

Of course, I just sent the article to several friends and I anticipate hearing back tomorrow from one of them thinking this is real.

I just wish they would have made it less obvious.


Well..you have to read to at least the 5th paragraph before it gets pretty obvious that it's a joke. How many ranters have that attention span and dedication to reading?

You're still gonna have a few ranters (oblivious to the date)...take it literally.

so is it a joke?..or is it real?..

because I just don't see a site like LSUsports.net doing something like this, yes tigerdroppings, but not the official website.

Of course it's real. You think the University would just waste resources like this on a gag? I don't think so.
