I was getting strange results trying to load LGF a few minutes ago...

But thankfully Charles and Stinky are on the job and everything seems fine now.

Oh no! It's a hacker attack on LGF by . . . Charles?!?

I once put some on a front porch. Don't do it, as it will not stay.

I couldn't get in a minute ago, so I added another layer of tinfoil to my Self Protection System, cinched the duct-tape strap a bit tighter, and dove in again.

Yeah. Me too. There we'd be, out on the gridiron, sweat pouring off our faces. Uniforms soaked. Agony. Then halftime would end, and we'd march off with instruments held high. ;)

In junior high, I played "touch" football on both astroturf and tarmac in gym. ("Touch" my a$$- the impact from the jocks was the same as the real thing, as was my impact on the ground.)

Being gym, we were required to wear the standard gym shorts and tees.

The road rash I got from the 'turf was worse than that from the frickin' asphalt.

/on the plus side, it sidelined me long enough for the course outline to move us from football to volleyball- with the two sides (nerds and hyper-aggressive gorillas) separated by a net

It's pretty much been outlawed by the major sports leagues and replaced by the field turf. Some places we played were at schools that had them as multipurpose fields and the like. It was like playing on green concrete.

We’re just tweaking some server settings, and we all know how painful that can be.

re: #43 ciaospirit

Astroturf is like a first off prototype compared to this stuff, but there has also been a considerable amount of progress made in the underlayment for artificial turfs, trying to get them to react just like properly maintained soil. The NFL knows the headaches caused by previous artificial fields and are unlikely to allow those problems to happen again.

Thanks. I'm asking because the H.S. is whining about no money and we need a tax levy, yet they just spent a million on laying turf. They tout the fact they don't have to do the upkeep they had to do with grass, yet never talk about injuries due to turf. Since it sounds like some of you have played on it, it's good to get that perspective. I'm against turf myself, but I'm not well versed on it.
