I like this line... You are trying to make it sound like all the wear and tear was from playing football. UM has a number of OTHER events on their field that are not football games.

hmmm in october, november, december?

Well you know that grass can be killed in the spring and summer don't you?

As I recall, UM would schedule concerts at the stadium, and I am guessing these concerts were not held in the winter.

Thanks for playing though.

Quast as far as I can recall only 1 concert was ever held in Wa. Griz. That was Pearl Jam in June of '97.

That was more damaging to the grass then all the "playoff" games the Griz have. Nice try in sounding like you know all about Griz football.

I thought it was Edward's dad buying a starting position for his son.
