No...the next one is Sunday with - ironically enough - an ISU FB player looking to kick-start a modeling career.

I would've loved the midfield piece though - put that in my front yard to show all these Tx people some true fanhood!

Longhorn fans would look at the logo and scratch their heads. Many would not even realize it is a Big 12 team. Outside of Texas A&M and Oklahoma, and at most the rest of the South, many of them have no idea the rest of the conference exists.

That is the first thing that I noticed.. never would have guessed that would happen.

Yeah on a tour of the sight the other day with Weitz, I took some pictures of them replacing the turf as well. The "stained dirt" was really surprising to me too.

We've got people making sure no one buries a Hawkeye jersey in there somewhere, don't we?

I think I heard something about Ben Bruns made some dude that had a hawkeye hardhat on either take it off and put a different on or leave the jobsite!

The turf monster!!!!!
Anyone that was ever on that field knows about the turf monster.

Next project: replacing those worn and faded bleacher seats.

I heard that when the scraped off the old turf, they uncovered Drew Tate's helmet somewhere around the 40 yard line.

I thought it was stuck on the front of Steve Paris' shoulder pads?

If they did bury a hawk jersey, we could always auction it off for $100k to help pay for the bowling in of the endzone.

From throwing it down in a temper tantrum? Or from getting it drilled into the ground with his head still in it by Steve Paris after an interception in '05?
