Week 1 FCS Games of Note Watched some of the USD Poly game. Better QB at Poly this year. USD DBs 3-5 yards behind receivers on the big plays Poly had.
Polys field looked awful for this time of year. I contacted a colleague at Cal Poly at their Irrigation Training and Research Center and after driving by said he thought the mowing and turf variety made it look brown. poly underwent a water conservation study a few years back it indicated cutting back on irrigation of sports fields. I applaud Poly for sticking with natural grass, but if you do so, it ought to be kept in a non-stressed condition. Might as well go to field turf if your not going to manage it for health/appearance. Here in the SE the colleges have beautiful bermudagrass fields.
Personally I think it must have been a band-uh member who sprayed roundup on the field. After all, the band-uh is thoroughly evil.
