Visited the Catdome today to see the new turf progress. Because the black crushed rubber has not yet been laid, the green turf is really BRIGHT GREEN  and the white is BRIGHT WHITE. That will tone down some once the black rubber cushioning is installed.

All the "green" turf is down...once again with alternating 5-yard segments of a lighter-green being used. I've always liked that look. All the "white" yard lines and both goal lines are in as well as hash-marks and the numbers identifying 10, 20, 30 etc. yard lines. Also the white area surrounding the field play is installed. The "L" at mid field has not yet been inserted, but measurements for its placement have been made.. The "L" will be purple this time, not cardinal red.

The end zones are completed except that the letters for "LINFIELD" and "WILDCATS" have not yet been inserted. Wow, it's almost football time at the CATDOME. Can't wait for fall practice to begin.

GO WILDCATS!

Well that whole conversation went in the crapper. Hate it when that happens.

True. A more modern example might be appropriate. Thank goodness you did not give a pre game speech to Appalachian State before they beat Michigan, or JMU when they beat VTech.  Upsets happen.  Your elitist argument is what's fantasy.

I don't know my fellow board user. I swear you are proving my point. I've said upsets happen. They are extremely rare. App State is the only FCS school to ever beat a top 10 ranked FBS school at the time of their ranking. THAT MEANS IT IS EXTREMELY RARE. Thanks for proving my point. A 1 in a large number chance, which is EXACTLY what I've been saying. I just don't know what to tell you. Statistics aren't that hard. Understanding an upset is EXTREMELY RARE, which is what makes it an upset, isn't that hard. I guess some things just don't click no matter how much evidence you provide.

Ok.

Well I have zero doubt that Mt's D Line will be significantly improved this season. Too much talent w the players and coaching staff for it to be anything but.

When does camp begin for the Purple Raiders?

August 13.
I agree with you that the D-line will be fine next year.
I think a strong, full back size D- lineman with speed is better than a big belly.
He will get in the backfield quicker and disrupt the QB.
