That looks SWEET!!!!!!

You know, with the new turf, Fouts doesn't look half bad. All we need to do is get a bunch of signs and stuff to hang up at the games, and we're set.

We don't need a new stadium after all.

Now, I didn't say that. I'm just saying it looks a whole lot better than it did. Although I would like to see, and think we need, a new stadium within the next 5 years, it's not going to be quite so embarrassing to play at Fouts now.

Dont get me wrong I love the new field and yes it makes the stadium look better...just remember wearing all black makes fat girls look thin too.

uuuhhhh...after rereading my post earlier, I think yours sounds better.

For you poetic types...

A Fouts by any other name would smell as sweet.

or

Fouts O Fouts, wherefore art thou O Fouts?

or

If a Fouts falls in the woods and nobody.....nevermind.

You could say it was like putting lipstick on a pig, but I really do believe it improves the overall look of the stadium.

30,000 people a game would make it look even better!

What do you think we will avg. this year?

I think that's what most of us want right now... it would be beautiful.

I think we average about 18K this year. Tulsa will bring them in and if we win just ONE of the OOC games (if we are going to win one then it should be Tulsa) then people will show up to the next one even though it is on a Tuesday night... it is on ESPN which she be enough motivation to get a good marketing push out of our Athletic Department. They are on a budget, but they will find the money somehow to push this game. Then we have Homecoming, that is a guaranteed 18K... then the Thansgiving game (could be a dissapointment), then the finale - might have a drop off for that as well. But I think that we average 18K in the end.

THE FIELD IS DONE!!!! I was out there today and talked to one of the guys laying down the rubber pellets. He told me that they were all layed down and all it needs is feet on it to grind the pellets in. It looks really good in person. Especially since they took that pitchers mound out of the middle of the field.
