The early talk show on 1210 AM thought it was for real and talked about it in depth. Claimed it was something in the works for months but they were told to keep it under their hat until an official announcement.

I don't know what more evidence people need to prove that this is a joke.


I would think the "Happy April Fools Day" on the picture would be enough. Apparently not.

Update at 11: 48 a.m. ET: With tongue firmly implanted in cheek, LSUSports.net says LSU is teaming up with an artificial turf company to install purple turf in time for the home opener against Mississippi State. The key quote from the "junior executive strength and conditioning coach" is this: "It is really going to prompt muscle confusion in the other team as the brain wants to run on a green surface."

Now they can do a non-April-Fools story about putting in green field turf and I'll be happy.

They're joking about the purple turf. Wish I could say the same about the Les Miles statue they're gonna build.

as bad as that looks, it STILL looks 1000 times better than the Boise State turf!

Everyone saying it looks good needs to chill. People can make dogshit look good with Photoshop. I think it would look really awful IRL.
