I can say that I have met Shaun a couple of times at work, but I do know his Mother rather well, and I will agree with 3pt shooter, he wouldn't have done it any other way. BTW his Mom is one great Lady, and I don't know anyone who has meet her, who doesn't like or respect her. She is indeed a wonderful woman, even before her son became the great football player he is.....

 

AMEN!! I second this!

There are no studies out on the subject yet. I haven't seen an increase over the last few yrs w/our team. If anything, there has been a decrease.

With all due respect, you are either thinking of the old turf, or you are very misinformed about the new turf.

I like the new turf -- IMO -- I think it helps with the passing game as far the speed of a receiver to get open. I had an opportunity to play on Highlands truf field a couple of times and I thought it was great. Actually I wasn't hurting as much as I would have played on natural grass. But then again I sure did enjoy the mud bowl games.

Watusi, correct me if I am wrong... but since Belfry has went to the Fieldturf Ican't recall a single ligament tear of the knee? In fact... the past two years has been the healthiest Belfry teams I can remember going into playoffs.. very few ankle sprains. Of the players who are injured most were either caused by off the field situations or on the actual contact of the hit.
