100% in agreement. Looking forward to seeing the fireworks and hearing those cannons sounding off...#Corey4Heisman

Got a video I'm uploading within the next hour, stay tuned. It's a half day's work, so its unpolished, but I think you guys will like it.

Highlight video!?!





#3 is Eric Thomas (875 yards last season, 9TDs)
#8 is Chip Reeves (515 yards, 7TDs in 2010, long of 79 yards)
#14 is Jamal Johnson (258 yards, 3TDs in 2010, wish I had more footage of him)
#20 is Shawn Southward (Sunbelt Conference Freshman of the Year, 2009)

Naw, I got the footage from two youtube videos. I don't have access to high quality footage, unfortunately.

FYI, if anyone is wondering, the opening was all done in Adobe After Effects. The mountains were a JPEG from Lord of the Rings (mistymountains.jpeg) that I cut into three parts in photoshop and placed them in Z space (depth), if that makes any sense. I got the idea from a Warner Brothers intro from one of the Harry Potter movies. I also plan on putting a sunbelt logo around the sun, that was the original idea, I just never got around to it.

Thanks for the compliment, bud. 04-cheers

RE: New Turf Underway at Troy
To get this thread back on track:

http://troytrojans.com/news/2012/7/5/fb_0705125159.aspx

"Veterans Memorial Stadium will be the third Sun Belt Conference venue to receive the state-of-the-art playing surface joining Louisiana-Lafayette's Cajun Field and South Alabama's Ladd-Peebles Stadium."

"ProGrass Blend consists of 100 percent polyethylene fibers, that are 50 percent monofilament and 50 percent parallel slit, that are tufted into a woven multi-layer backing. The surface will contain a sand and rubber infill system that consists of 100 percent polyethylene fibers tufted into a woven primary backing with a secondary backing of polyurethane. The infill is a homogenous mixture of washed silica sand and ambient ground recycled crumb rubber."

So... South and UL, what do you think about your playing surface? Has it held up well over the years? Has the color of the field faded over the years?

Still looks great, no color fading so far.

I just have never liked turf.

I understand the cost benefits of it, but I just like natural grass for sporting events.

We have several additional factors that warrant the need for an artificial surface...

(1) The local high school plays all its' home games at Veteran's Memorial.

(2) Troy University hosts the championship games for the state private school association (AISA). That's 3 games played back to back to back.

I agree that grass is nicer but only if the field can be kept in great shape, which ours couldn't.

Yup, which is probably why we went with it. During the summer the stuff grows so fast you need to cut it once a week or it gets out of control.

Not sure why FIU went with Turf since they have the same conditions, again other then its relatively maintenance free.

I say for the debut of the new turf or when they play Mississippi State, Troy needs to change it up and get some black uni's or something to kinda get everyone excited. I know it will be exciting because it's an SEC school, but still it would be pretty cool to see. Thoughts?

We host several high school football games at FIU Stadium and it would beat up a grass surface. By the way, the enclosed framework is up and the bleachers are going up on the North Side of the stadium...
