They made the buses change the route name from Disch-Falk to something else or else money would have to be paid up to use it. It is now the East Campus route. Yeesh. But it shore is purty.
Turf = Home field advantage Home field advantage = wins Wins = Texas Longhorns Texas Longhorns = CWS I'm starting the Save Turf Foundation!
UT Horn Fan beat me to it. The turf is a home field advantage. Even still, I think it's days are numbered. Thanks for posting that link. I can't wait until tommorrow!
The turf is awesome. Not only is it a cool tradition at the Disch but it also gives us a huge homefield advantage. I don't know how many times I have seen a routine single turn into a triple because the opponents outfield doesn't play the ball of the turf right and it gets over their head.
From the very beginning it was announced that the renovation would not include replacement of the astroturf - that it would be replaced when its condition warranted. Get over it, guys - it ain't changing anytime soon.
From a purist's standpoint, we should also go back to the non-cork baseball, make spit balls and scuffed balls legal again, make the fans throw foul balls and home run balls back onto the field, so they can be used until they begin to unravel.
