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.

Soupie

10/15/19 11:28pm

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

Well they had some return plays where a player ‘hid’ on the field by laying down

Ever hear that BYU used sprinklers though?

Soupie

10/15/19 11:35pm

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

akmewg

10/16/19 12:24am

I don’t either.

Soupie

10/16/19 12:31am

Right. It is a camouflage tactic.

10/16/19 7:24am

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

When it snowed with Urbans first game and BYU turned the sprinklers on for it

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

jpal1397

10/15/19 11:51pm

50-12. Had to look it up. Was in ‘03.

Soupie

That was humiliating

Not BSU though. Link No one was talking about Utah.

Soupie

That game was freezing cold

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

Jacare

10/16/19 5:43am

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

BW84

It snowed during the 50-12 game in '03.

Strange and depressing game

BoiseBlueCoug

10/16/19 6:56am

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

Soupie

10/16/19 7:18am

The game was like a Thursday night game...

Coug

10/16/19 9:17am

Ironic how insecure Boise fans still are

Gustav

10/16/19 6:58am

I reminded him of that.

I think it's funny that you'd mention lying down for the kickoff. Do a quick

TCU and KU don't wear green — and Jets only wear half green

Gustav

10/16/19 7:28am

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

Dread Pirate Westley

10/16/19 7:44am

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

AD4

10/16/19 8:34am

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

Dread Pirate Westley

10/16/19 7:13am

Sprinklers? They showed one sprinkler watering the field 🙂

2FarGone

10/16/19 7:18am

The funny thing is that they talked about it after a bad snap led to a blocked

Dread Pirate Westley

10/16/19 7:23am

There were several sprinklers shown in the video.

Regal Ute

10/16/19 9:31am

I only saw one, but it was a joke

2FarGone

10/16/19 10:33am

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

Benfica1

10/16/19 8:04am

Lee Corso doing color? Awesome!

kooogar

10/16/19 8:13am

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

crack

10/16/19 11:14am

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

Big Wally D

10/16/19 12:58pm

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

USMCdad

10/16/19 7:18am

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

Benfica1

10/16/19 8:01am

Oregon did that against BYU in 1990.

Jeffacka

RE: Oregon did that against BYU in 1990.

Fansince67

10/16/19 9:04am

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

Jeffacka

10/16/19 9:12am

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

ColoSpgs

10/16/19 9:01am

Oregon's field was artificial.

Jeffacka

10/16/19 9:11am

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

Dread Pirate Westley

10/16/19 9:12am

2 hours before kickoff, no big deal.

2003 was this century.

Dread Pirate Westley

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

Rhino84

10/16/19 9:07am

I remember ND making that claim years ago. Boise definitely isn't the 1st to

LEHI cougar

It's based in nothing? That's an impressive Jedi hand wave...

Dread Pirate Westley

10/16/19 9:51am

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

LEHI cougar

10/16/19 11:06am

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

Dread Pirate Westley

10/16/19 12:09pm

RSL waters their field 5 minutes before each game — cheaters.

cougarfan84

Can confirm. Video evidence shows a shot of Coach Hawkins

BSUconvert

10/16/19 12:45pm

Watering the pitch is common practice in soccer.

Stev_ie

10/16/19 1:29pm

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

SpiffCoug

10/16/19 3:04pm

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