Eastern Washington Installs Red Turf: Of course our new football field is cranberry red. What do you think we are -- savages? Watch paint dry Eastern Washington University install its forearm-staining turf on its TurfCam. Hey, for a million bucks what do you expect -- something that looks like grass? (Via) (via MetaFilter).
We already have the storied Moscow-Pullman border rivalry, and now EWU has created a color-bound Boise-Cheney turf war.
Lots of good nicknames rolling in for the red turf already. I am trying to show restraint and not add an additional offering to the growing list.
Let the record show that I refused to be pressured into calling the new field surface a Dollar Store Mardi Gras pussy wig.

put me down as not a fan of the red turf, but hey, it's their school, not mine.
