hornish Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 I just heard that dozens of birds die each year thinking that the blue turf of Boise State is a lake. This carnage must end!! More importantly, I don't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hornish Posted December 31, 2002 Author Share Posted December 31, 2002 Kstate: about 2/3rds down this article they discuss the tragedy of birds divebombing down into the blue turf thinking it's a lake. It turns out that the birds ARE getting smarter, as less birds are needlessly dying now. http://www.collegefootballnews.com/2000_Fe...20Hendricks.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hankk Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 They should paint the turf red. That way, the birds will avoid it because they'll think its molten lava. loco loco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polksalet Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 In football mecca the idea of having that new fake grass stuff installed was tossed around. The idea was canned when the maker told them that somehow the maroon wouldnt last and would fade after a couple seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KICK A$$ BLASTER Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 No bird has EVER died as a result of "crashing" into the Blue turf... I don't know where people get this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't just make this up, see the attached link which shows where I got this from. There were a lot of other stories that I found about it. You may be right that it isn't true, but it has been widely reported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 hornishI just heard that dozens of birds die each year thinking that the blue turf of Boise State is a lake. Well, THAT isn't very humanitarian at all! lol I'm actually a fan of the smurf turf; kinda like red felt on a pool table - a little different, a little classier.

Furd Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 Chavez: . . . kinda like red felt on a pool table - a little different, a little classier. I have fond memories of my mother touting the red felt on our new pool table as such. Those were the days. :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
