For those of you who don't frequent Yahoo! or Rivals, I bring you this recent development in eye irritants. In the vein of Boise's Smurf Turf, Eastern Washington University has announced plans to install a sea of red field turf (they currently play on grass) in hopes to increase game attendance and notoriety.
"It's huge for recruiting because potential student-athletes can see the progress we are making and the positive direction of our program," stated EWU athletic director Bill Chaves.
Fortunately for the majority of the country, EWU plays in the 1-AA Big Sky Conference, and chances of having to actually watch them are slim. And in case you were wondering, also like the Broncos, the Eagles already have all-red home unis. Original story here.
