Looks like LSU will be putting in purple field turf and will begin playing on it in 2010

That has to be an April Fool's joke.

"It is definitely faster than anything I've ever seen in my 14 years of conditioning," Tiny Gampshone, the junior executive strength and conditioning coach said. "It is really going to prompt muscle confusion in the other team as the brain wants to run on a green surface."


With a quote like that, I seriously hope this is an April Fool's joke. Only problem is it was posted today.

April fools joke...Vandalay Industries & Art Vandalay - Seinfeld

"Partnering with LSU just makes sense," said Art Vandalay, the President and CEO of Vandalay Industries said. "We've been speaking on the virtues of colored turf for years at various conventions and we finally have the perfect partner in LSU. The field is going to be amazing. Although we have never done a project with our turf on anything more than municipal parks, we are confident that 'Tiger Turf' is going to be a staple of all collegiate athletic fields. The possibilities are endless. I see a future where grass will cease to exist."
