they going through with it, then?

i know last week, or the one before, it was reported they had been given premission, but it was still a matter of conjecture wether they were going to bother with it or not.

I guess it depends on the type of turf they use Dutch, boises looks pretty crap on tv when wet etc....

And obv uniform, I'm not a fan of White pants at home in general, but boise's turf would pop if the broncos went back to wearing White pants instead of the mono. Or even orange...

The chargers blue turf looks great cos they wear yellow lids and pants...

Boise makes my eyes hurt, but you can see the ball. I doubt you would against a red background. That being said, I don't think Eastern Washington need to worry unduly about TV appearances... Laughing

They're Div 1AA though..or whatever that's called now. They only get on TV when they're being squashed by a Top 25 team (or upsetting one...).

It might get a couple of segments but that's it. Too many college games for them to arse about showing Mickey Mouse U because of stupid coloured turf.
