Please CBers stop pretending the blue turf makes it hard to see people

Apparently you haven't seen this. It's a huge advantage for them.

didn't the MTN west ban them from using it in conference games or something?

MWC also thought it was a good idea to not allow BYU and Utah to

Rocky Long was just pissed because his dad would show up to BYU/UNM games wearing BYU gear.

Exactly. It's a whiney-hiney-thumbsucker excuse. Only Sissies make it.

I don't necessarily buy into the advantage thing, but comparing a green team to

You don't see logic in comparing situations in which uniforms match the turf?

yewtsrnogood

10/20/16 2:37pm

CSU's green jerseys don't come close to matching the shade of the grass, however

No, but my middle initial is J. Also, I watched them on film. A lot. No problems

I think it obviously is harder for the players.

They are absolutely related. If green on green was an advantage, it would have

I never said it was an advantage, I even said I don't buy into the advantage

IceCreamButt

You are assuming the turf color change was about competitive advantage and not

I am more replying to the idea OP expressed about people saying it is advantageo

IceCreamButt

10/20/16 4:46pm

Most complaints (including mine) are it's an eyesore to watch on TV.

SCcoug

10/20/16 2:35pm

Which is valid. The competitive advantage thing is not.

Jake Kuresa disagrees:

Funnily enough, he and I played for the same coach

Technically, BSU maintains that Dinwiddie walked on water, but during our game

Just a quick question on his quote - are O-lineman typically trying to see

gww687

10/20/16 4:12pm

That would explain why he didn't see them

dratax

I suppose if they are blitzing.

Its less ridiculous than the BYU "age advantage" or BYU is a "dirty team." I

I put it on exactly the same plane as those arguments, except as it relates to

Maybe he has a sight condition that causes blue things to disappear. I don't.

yewtsrnogood

10/20/16 3:01pm

So maybe the complaints are valid?

Cam Jensen said the same thing yesterday. Harder to see players.

Bgash

10/20/16 4:34pm

Why are they not allowed to wear blue in conference home games?

Same reason buildings skip the number 13 and the floors go from 12 to 14 like

10/20/16 4:30pm

It's not the players who can't see. It's the coaches

dratax

10/20/16 5:37pm

I don't necessarily think it's an advantage because of being blue on blue.

10/20/16 5:46pm

Okay, I'll admit this much

Dude, no, you can't. It is no different at all. I played there. It's the same.

Completely agree.

That smurf turf is stoopid

Cougrrrs Roll

Nope. It has nothing to do with the turf.

It's just ugly. Instead of blue turf, I will call it the blue turd from now on.
