Campbell and the field
- Thread starter 2speedy1
- Start date
People need to read back into the tweets from @cycloneturf over the past 6 weeks or so. Sounds like there has been a perfect storm of problems this year.
We will install a ground up tire field just in time for the American Association of Medicine to confirm that it is responsible for cancer in approximately 3% of former division 1 athletes.
I think our field normally is a showcase of the stadium, but wouldn't be against field turf given what happened this year with it.
While we likely only play 2 games in November, imagine if we'd of have a bad weather event in late October....field may never have recovered (or even last week's weather like yesterday's)
What stuck out to me was coach did sit three guys (Anyi, Eisworth, and one other) specifically because field conditions could have impacted their injuries/recoveries.

Leave it to Cyclone fans to have a 10 page thread on the turf. That being said I would hope that Pollard pulls in the turf guy and Campbell to discuss these things like adults (unlike here) long before any decisions are made. It is undeniable this fall has been **** weather wise. Artificial is not necessarily safer, green does not necessarily mean it is healthy.
Who cares what the "College of Ag" thinks? Since when do they run the athletic department?
We just got 16 wins in 2 years.
If CMC want pink grass, Imma be out their with spray paint.
Let him pick what he wants.

I will not buy season tickets anymore if we go back to an artificial playing surface
Yeah, the college football coverage is going to be Alabama’s comeback and the debate of Georgia/OU/OSU. No one outside of Clones and Hawks give a **** about the game. Including bowl reps.
I was just thinking the same thing. I know I'm in an ISU forum when there is a 10 page debate on grass! Haha. I love the grass, love the grass team, love our discussions of the grass. All that being said if CMC feels passionately about getting rid of it I'm gonna listen. We should be doing everything we can to keep that man happy. Never should he hear "no, it's an Iowa State tradition."
my god don't blame the field , just terrible play calling
We may have lost 2 starters last night to grass. And we kept maybe our most important defensive player out due solely to grass.
Whatever CMC wants be it grass, turf or asphalt.
Many cyclone fans never wanted to part with Mac - thought we could never do better. Thought CPR just needed 4 more years because he was smart and a hometown guy...
Yeah - I'll defer to CMC and JP.
Take a picture of your tickets stubs and post - I may take them off your hands because they're getting hard to find.
As much as I hate artificial turf or a rug ...It might be time for JP and Coach Matt Campbell to consider it...
and remember GO Cyclones
I’ll go on record as being against an asphalt playing surface. That just doesn’t seem like a good move.
