IMO, one of the biggest reasons stadiums use turf is so they can hold other/multiple events. They can host HS jamborees, run concerts on a Friday night and have a game on Saturday, host the state tournaments, soccer, etc. Again, its about $$$, I know.
Just because a stadium is grass doesn't make it a manure pile does it?

Coachnichols, (Respectfully)- Ummm...no...that's not what I said at all. All I said was that I ENJOYED seeing a nice blue-collar power football approach beat the WV dazzle and hype philosophy. I had nothing to do with what "formation" anyone ran. Although, it sure was great watching Pitt tee-off on WV's defense with that nasty, straight-ahead power running. But, nowhere in my post did I attribute the use of a formation to the victory. So, control your emotions chief. I DO believe that they were ballz-out outcoached and out-toughed, though. I mean, isn't part of good coaching emotionally and mentally preparing your team to perform? If WV came out tight and Pitt came out swinging, then to me that's part of the coaching job that was done. I don't know how you can argue that. Also, Pitt's playcalling was exceptional. I don't care about Pat White getting hurt. Last time I checked, it's a team game. And if it's not, and you have your whole destiny built around one player, then shame on you. And, I'm not a fan of either team. I had not seen a single Pitt game before this one, and frankly I had forgotten that Wanny even coached any longer. I don't even remember the name of the TB who impressed me so much. All I was doing was expressing my enjoyment of the game and my enjoyment of seeing an underdog win. Whatever else you got out of my post is purely in your head for whatever reason. And, last time I checked, we can come out here and say anything we want as long as it's related to coaching football and it's respectful and appropriate. I don't remember calling anyone else a "joke" or getting all pissy like someone stole my sandwich...so what gives, ace? Someone forget to take their happy pills this morning? NO D*MNIT I'M P*SSED OFF RIGHT NOW! YOU HURT MY FEELING WITH THAT 3-5 COMMENT AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS SH*T ANYMORE! ;D Just kidding! It's all good. I was having a bad day with a kid in one of my classes who will soon be changing my oil for a living or asking me if I want fries with that. Sorry for the rant! I am still {censored} though West Virginia choked. It still hurts me. Now all I have to look forward to is Kansas getting murdered by Virginia Tech. No sweat coach, Hey, I'm a big Patriots fan (yes, I was even a big fan in the Rod Rust and Richard McPhearson years when they won 3 games in 2 seasons)...but last night, the Ravens came within a yard of doing nearly the same thing that Pitt did, which was just beating the everliving crap out of a team on the lines of scrimmage and running the ball down their throat out of the "I". I can assure you, if the game had been different last night and Baltimore had pulled it off (which they should have because they outplayed the Pats in every single phase), I would be in a REALLY bad mood (although I must admit that I COMPLETELY respect the way the Ravens played that game), and I don't even have any kids in class to irritate me!! Give the kid a Dunce hat and make him sit in the corner, coach!!
