This is about that level of bush league.
Atlantic City convention center. The turf kept getting kicked up and guys were going down on the concrete floor. Some screwed up their knees on that damn "concrete turf." Worst idea ever for a football game to be played on a concrete floor.
I remember that game.....it was on the tube. As I recall, UT was favored but lost the game...did I remember that correctly?

Yeah Toledo was heavily favored, but we lost 35-6 in the regular season finale. We went 8-3-1 that year, playing Randall Cunningham and UNLV in the California Bowl. The game before the Temple game, we beat Central Michigan 14-7 in Mount Pleasant to win the MAC Title. Central Michigan went 8-2-1 themselves that year, beating East Carolina in OOC play.

The sad thing, that actually looks like Idaho's current stadium....the Kibbie Dome. Check out the below link for their stadium. There's a picture of it as a football field, and then there's a picture of what it looks like after the season when they convert it into a training facility. I mean, I always thought that Idaho's field looked like an IPF and in reality it kind of is. That's pretty sad for a permanent facility.

No doubt....definitely the most unique place in FBS football....
If someone DID intercept a pass at ,say, their own five, could they just turn around and run the five yards into the endzone? Seems reasonable.

I get the feeling they don't have a true tennis surface at the Kibbie.
Rumor has it Samuel L. Jackson has been hired to "freeze time" at the instant of each change in possession, then rotate the field and its players & refs, then resume time.

Nah, both end zones are there and are at regulation size. There were just concerns of players going off the end of the field and hitting the wall before they would normally expect a wall to be there.
This came into play as Brian Peters had a pick 6 for the Cats
