Anybody got any field photos?

I like the size of the logo but would still rather have the banner with the M. I don't hate the standing bulldog. Field looks good.
I guess I'm in the minority, but I wish we would get something nice an stick with it.
Those can only be done a couple times a year for us because they are really tough on the grass...
I can back this idea. Anything to get rid of the putrid MState logo. I might cut of a pinkie if they'd please get rid of the hideous Mississippi State ******** on the front of the jersey though. That is by far the WORST jersey in all of college football. And yes I realize I just called MSU the best and the worst in two different posts. Ha
There is no distributor of that sod in the eastern US anymore... They sell the hell out of it out west though. Seems to be really, really tough stuff for "places that don't grow grass very well."
It's overkill for DWS and Dudy Noble at this point -- where we have no trouble growing grass...

That's CRAZY! How can we come up with our own type of grass/turf (called MSU Express, I believe) and not even use it? I too prefer the maroon end zones.
Yep, that one is hard to understand. There are two MSU developed grasses within 25 miles of campus, but they went a cheaper route on DNF and Davis. You'd think they would have done differently.
Then how does Tennessee do it every game when they have a stadium that blocks out more sunlight than ours?
I didn't major in turf management -- I just know a guy that did that is currently employed by MSU to make such decisions... What he told me when I have complained about this in the past is exactly what I just told you...
ETA: Here is your explanation in a study from NC State. http://www.ncsu.edu/features/2011/09/turf-war/
Anotherwords, Maroon is VERY hard on grass -- while white, yellow, orange, etc are not.

MS Choice is the grass that was replaced! It tends to be very susceptible to disease due to high humid conditions in the south. It grows very well in the more arid climates of southwestern US.
Thanks for this tremendous contribution to the thread. I love when people critique my various posting styles while adding nothing of substance or even attempting to debate. Would you like to run through all the errors in your recent posts? That's the problem with pointing fingers, grammar police**

Eng, it's not a posting style, it's just bad English. Properly, the phrase is "in other words". Presumably as an engineer, as am I, you should know that. Not quite the same as a typo.
Another irritant, not that you do it, but some do, is "I would of known" for "I would have known".

Typing capitalized words that I want to emphasize is bad English that I embrace despite how it bothers a few people here. All forms of cell phone slang are technically bad English too, are they not?
I'm not writing engineering reports here. I don't come to SPS to have my spelling and grammar critiqued on a point that I made, was questioned, and then proved citing a study. Grammar nazis on the internet never make sense to me. I can almost always go back through a half dozen of their posts and rip them apart in their grammar inadequacies and inaccuracies...

I'm not a grammar Nazi. You could find all kinds of errors in my posts. The only reason I point it out is that you are the only person I have ever seen use that particular word, and I've seen you do it multiple times. Its really not a big deal. I'll just go back to posting anotherthreads.
