I forgot to mention that Kill thinks a lot of our injuries, especially concussions were from worn turf.

We're overdue to change it. That turf usually gets very warn in the 8-10 year range. Optimally, it should have been done a year ago.

The new turf is great.  I'm old so I played on first generation 'Astro' turf.  Brutal.  I never played baseball on it, but unfortunately I did play football on it.  ISUred was the the worst.  It was little more than laying a bath towel on an asphalt parking lot.  And the turf burns were the worst thing about it.  I still have burn scars from it.  For a FCS program, we do have nice facilities.

I'm not sayin' -- I'm just sayin'!

I remember playing intramural flag football at the stadium back in 2012. The turf was so beat up then, can't believe it took them 7 years to replace it.

The new logo at the very least somewhat resembles a saluki. For that reason alone I'm all aboard with it.

anybody (underdog) got any info about the football players?  Have they started their summer workout schedules?  are basketball players doing any organized practices?  just anxious for some saluki action.
