    Why the Saints took our 5 yard intervals off the yard markers?

    There was no reason for our loveable LOSERS to do that

    I'm guessing to make the field match the NFL regulations.

    Probably cause it's NFL restrictions. This is making me sick to my stomach to see the Saints and Dolphins stink up our field.

    Or you can say: "dwight smith makes an INT and would go 102 yards, but his OWN teammate tackles him and causes a fumble."

    heh ...that was pretty funny. Almost as sad as Brook taking a 26 yard sack!:lol:

    Just hope the Saints don't leave some bad karma in Tiger Stadium...

    Maybe they didn't want to be associated with winners.

    Ha, this was just on FoxSports game tracker and I remembered your comment.

    Last Play: Aaron Brooks pass to Devery Henderson for 19 yards to the NO39. Tackled by Travis Daniels.

    Last night at the game, we were talking about LSU players slipping. The field also looks torn up after about a 1/4. I am assuming the grounds crew makes the field pretty soft because the last rain we had was Rita.

    Anyone else notice?

    Do you think it is on purpose?

    Should we wear different cleats?

    Here is your reason.

    Even NFL practice fields are numbered in the same fashion. With the numbers at the same spot as they were today. The numbers are actually used as guides for running routes by receivers and other things.
