"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

In regards to the smurf turf: I am waiting to hear what our new Big 12 overlords think before I develop an opinion on the matter."Sure, I fought. I had to fight all my life just to survive. They were all against me. Tried every dirty trick to cut me down, but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch."

I was thinking Tennessee. They used to do orange and white which if you consider a checkerboard pattern ridiculous then both colors count. Now, I believe the pattern doesn't extend all the way to the side lines, end lines, and goal lines. So perhaps Moliere knows the exact dimensions and that is why he is getting a lower number.Originally posted by Bo Diddley View PostBut you need both colors to make it checkered. So 16.67/2=8%

I have also noticed that it is the long-term BSU fans that love the blue turf. You rarely see anyone else like it. DDD is right. There is a reason no other football program has tried something similar."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

LOL @ moliere. Never trust accountants.Originally posted by Omaha 680 View Post(20 yards End Zone)/(120 yard total field) = 16.67%

There's also the white stripes (yard markers, sidelines, hash marks, etc.) as well as the white yard line numbers on the field that are shared with standard fields. So if the green areas in endzones of Neyland Stadium are exempt from the ridicule percentage of Smurf Turf then the white painted areas should also be excluded. I'm more trusting of an engineering calculation than one used for an audit. There's probably some FASB technical bulletin that explains Moliere's answer.Originally posted by Omaha 680 View PostI was thinking Tennessee.
