Ok...they will rip it up as soon as they fire Kelly. 😜What is the injury? Wisconsin is home laying for us and Kelly boy plays his first team in trash time and gets Cam Hart injured. How long will he be out? That G damn turf. Rip it up and put the grass back in.
And if Purdue scored and made it a one-score game you'd be pissed about that too. Maybe take a week off from watching games. You might find it helps you relax.He should have pulled the first team O and D. Wisconsin will be well rested and the first legit team we play. Then Cincy. Our Dbs are already thin? What happened to Cam Hart?
In general you dont care. You are a half assed fan so dont tell me to take a week off. The game was over at that point. Purdue doesnt have enough talent to do anything dramatic.And if Purdue scored and made it a one-score game you'd be pissed about that too. Maybe take a week off from watching games.

I didn't watch the game today. Why? Because it was a beautiful day and I got some painting done and then played tennis for two hours. Came home in time to watch the last half of the fourth quarter and wondered if those of you who seem to take this stuff so seriously were melting down.

For as long as I can remember, Notre Dame had trouble with their grass field. I also know both Michigan and Ohio State went back to grass fields for a few years in the 80s or 90s, and they went back to artificial turf. I believe the problem is usually tied to drainage issues.I do agree about the turf. It looks bad on TV and even worse in person.
Don't be ridiculous!He should have pulled the first team O and D. Wisconsin will be well rested and the first legit team we play. Then Cincy. Our Dbs are already thin? What happened to Cam Hart?
I don’t get how Purdue and Michigan St can do it, but ND can’t. It’s only 6-7 games a year, plus walk throughs.For as long as I can remember, Notre Dame had trouble with their grass field.

Purdue has always had beautiful fields. And I think we even had them put in a new field for us at some point, but it just never held up.I don’t get how Purdue and Michigan St can do it, but ND can’t. It’s only 6-7 games a year, plus walk throughs.
To be fair, ND has won 26 straight home games, so something is working.

The attendance figures do not confirm your rosy outlook.Damn, some people can never let shit go, just let it go. ND has field turf, the grass is gone and it isn’t coming back. The turf looks good to me and players as well as coaches prefer it. The complaining about our terrible sod was widely discussed since I joined this board in 2002.
Now some folks want it back…FML, people simply can’t be happy about anything.
‘78 complained endlessly for 4-5 years that the turf, the expansion, the “piped in music”, night games, etc.. were ruining the game. Yet almost unanimously the fans approved of the changes as did the players and coaches.
Some people are incapable of any kind of change, they simply fall apart.

Keep the games expensive. Helps keep the trash out. Spent the entire Toledo game breathing in some 20 year olds vape.The attendance figures do not confirm your rosy outlook.
Field turf way better than natural grass as a playing surface.I don’t get how Purdue and Michigan St can do it, but ND can’t. It’s only 6-7 games a year, plus walk throughs.

Notre Dame's athletic dept has plenty of $$ to maintain a natural surface. Field turf sucks, studies have been done that show a higher rate of ankle, foot, and achilles injuries on that surface.Can you STFU please?? Is that too much to ask? Just let Cam Hart get injured in peace, do you have to leverage everything that ever happens in a football game into an attack on BK?
I agree about the grass, though. I like real grass over any kind of astroturf.
No it is not.Field turf way better than natural grass ss a playing surface.
I do agree about the turf. Both teams were slipping on a number of plays.
And as bad as it looks on TV, it’s even worse in person. Go back to grass!
Care to share this info?Notre Dame's athletic dept has plenty of $$ to maintain a natural surface. Field turf sucks, studies have been done that show a higher rate of ankle, foot, and achilles injuries on that surface.
I believe that held true for the old Astroturf surface, which was basically a layer of indoor/outdoor carpeting over a rubber pad. But the new field turf gives, thanks to the rubber pellets they put in it. Ironically, though, I believe there have been some studies recommending that kids not spend a lot of time playing on that surface — and that comes as more and more schools put them in to reduce maintenance costs.Care to share this info?
100 percent betterField turf way better than natural grass as a playing surface.
That’s what I thought. I have never heard of this new technology in tuffs to cause injuries where it calls it into question. I might be wrong but I would like to see prof of what that other poster claims before I start believing that.I believe that held true for the old Astroturf surface, which was basically a layer of indoor/outdoor carpeting over a rubber pad.

ThanksThe safety factor favored grass by leaps and bounds when the first generation of turf came out. As they improved the turf, the gap narrowed to the point where I remember one study showing fewer injuries on turf. I can't find it, unfortunately. Most of the current studies indicate that grass is slightly safer, however. This article gives a decent summary: https://www.popsci.com/sports-injury-turf-grass-football-soccer/
Good of you to bring your tennis game to your post.And if Purdue scored and made it a one-score game you'd be pissed about that too. Maybe take a week off from watching games. You might find it helps you relax.
