Anyone heard the line that the first game BSU played in Provo, BYU turned the sprinklers on

Or apparently to slow them down. Still dumb cuz it would impact both teams equally.

Unless one team didn't bring shoes fit for water.

Ever hear that BYU used sprinklers though?

Nope, don’t know how that’d really be an advantage.

I don’t either.

Right. It is a camouflage tactic.

So, this is legal? Really? If so, that's kinda cool. I like trick plays.

You mean the game we lost something like 50-12? In 2003

50-12. Had to look it up. Was in ‘03.

Right, cause it's always logical to increase leg injury risk for your team.

I don’t know how unusual it is. A lot of fields get watered down a little

If that’s the game it snowed a lot, I was there. Some BSU fans

What color do those teams wear? What color is their end zone?

Except they are actually correct in this instance, as shown in the video DPW posted.

It is a documented fact that BYU turned the sprinklers on before the game.

Sprinklers? They showed one sprinkler watering the field 🙂

apparently true. Watering the lawn after a snow storm? Interesting.

I don't know much about lawn care - but don't most systems run on timers?

Not uncommon to have sprinklers run for a few minutes before a match.

Yes it’s pretty common for the field to get cut higher and wetted down

I remember this line — but it was either Oregon or UW vs BYU.

Oregon did that against BYU in 1990.

I remember it being 12-10 in the third quarter. Then Oregon scored three TDs.

I've heard this claim made about different teams vs different opponents over many years

Oregon's field was artificial.

If you watch the video I linked above you'll see the sprinklers were on at 3:51

2 hours before kickoff, no big deal.

The lore I have heard is that the grounds people would let the grass grow longer when we were playing extremely fast

so because you randomly said it's proven, that makes it proven?

No, it's proven because it was shown in the broadcast, which I linked in my post

Watering the pitch is common practice in soccer.

I believe it's actually required. They even water the surface on field turf before games in MLS.

Miami said we didn't cut the grass do it would slow them but not us I guess.
