Honest question for our Eastern brethren who frequent our board:
Do you think national exposure of your stadium and turf is a positive or a negative in terms of recruiting, both players and students in general?
Product on the field will trump everything.
Yes, that atrocity of a field is a complete clown car act show. I don't think even die-hard Eags fans could defend that thing. But you guys are on national tv. That's awesome. If the game shakes out like it should, and it's back and forth with an exciting finish, that's great exposure. If it's a blowout, that's ok exposure for the winning team.
Look at it this way. What's better; a barn-burning Griz win on that disgusting tampon, or a Griz loss in a ho-hum game in a packed Wash-griz?
Product on the field beats nice facilities 100 out of 100 times.
