I just went through that with an A&M fan 
Atleast the OU guy knew of us... and by the time I'm done he will hate us  Though I will hate "Boomer Sooner" even more  |

How could you be a college football fan and not know who is in your conference? That is why when people say these kind of things I just write it off as an idiot that doesn't follow football or is just really arrogant. I mean I can name every team in every BCS Conference off my tongue drunk in a bar. I could Probably could tell you how there season is doing sober. I mean all you need to do is read a paper or go to a website or watch ESPN.

I guess I look at those pictures and don't see much difference from the turf I saw at the spring game. Heh.
I second the notion about too much paint in the endzones. I remember being on the field after Mac's last game and nearly sliding and falling in the endzone on the paint. Ruined a pair of shoes too. They put a TON of paint on those endzones.

That lawn looks incredible!

Deep within the heart of Iowa, a storm is brewing...
... the winds of change ripple throughout the vast fields of corn surrounding the small college town of Ames.
The Gene Chizik era of football continues, and, with it, a renewed attitude of pride, determination, and success.
This is Cyclone Football. | |

Not exactly up to date on my horticulture but how long does the sod have to sit before they can mow it etc.? I know you're supposed to let it sit for awhile so the root system grows but how long is that awhile?

When my folks had new sod put in they were told to wait at least two weeks.

They probably use every chemical known to man to get the roots to take.
Have no fear.... Becker Underwood is here!
