Well, that might have been their original theory, but what they are doing in my case is not giving me enough content on ESPN+ so that I am going to keep it after my Disney/Hulu/ESPN bundle expires, and ESPN3 is far from tipping from not having cable to getting cable.

As the number of cable subscribers erode and the streaming audience grows, the time will come when they have to rethink the idea that ESPN3 extremely marginal help in holding onto cable subscribers is worth sabotaging the value of an ESPN+ subscription, and I'm wondering whether that time be already passing and it's just inertia that is leaving them where they are at.

I'm not big on colored turf, but EMU's gray looks especially bad on TV. Makes you want to adjust your TV picture, then in horror you realize its the actual playing surface.

I do like the "The Factory" concept and what Creighton is doing at EMU

I don't mind Eastern's Field. I get the concept, especially if you compare it against Eastern Washingtons Field. That's brutal......

RE: Does Everyone Hate Gray Turf? (Okay with the MAC?)
I personally don't understand the appeal of having football fields that don't meet the standard green. I don't actually like the gray tone of the field, however it doesn't mess with my eyes nearly as much as Boise's.

That being said, I do understand the motif, and I believe that the green helmets and uniforms work well against that turf. I can't say the same for Boise State, where their blue-on-blue uniform and turf blend had me confused at times.

Again, everyone has a right to their opinion, but only Boca Rocket has come closest to an answer to the question. Which is probably the answer.


Ask the conference not a fan board if you want an answer. Call or email

Does having different colored turf help you win?

Then I'm for it.

If not, I dislike (not hate) it.

Mine has not worked for years.

Whenever I select my provider (Xfinity...comcast) it takes me to a page to enter my login credentials. Then after I do that, it says I'm logged in and then it thinks and spins for awhile but then takes me back to the page to select my provider again.

I've contacted their support in the past, but they never respond.

I can however watch the ESPN3 games on my TV through my Xfinity cable connection.

Frustrating.

I this your TV provider or just your internet provider?
