Ohio State is accepting fan recuse of field design
The Ohio State athletic department is accepting field turf designs for their presumed re-do of their shit field and pink end zones. Feel free to offer up suggestions...

Damn auto correct! Headline was supposed to read: Ohio State is accepting fan recs of field design
October 16th, 2021 at 8:09 AM ^
That’s one of the reasons I don’t use autocorrect.
October 16th, 2021 at 8:39 AM ^
The whole feature is ducking useless.
October 16th, 2021 at 9:16 AM ^
underrated comment.
October 16th, 2021 at 9:15 AM ^
Thought you nailed it....I recuse myself of having anything to do with that shithole.
October 16th, 2021 at 10:23 AM ^
And here I thought the typo was the lack of a capital "C," that the The Ohio State program was rebranding itself as Syracuse.
In other words, re-Cuse.
October 16th, 2021 at 1:26 PM ^
You mean auto-incorrect.
October 16th, 2021 at 7:49 AM ^
I was going to recommend something, but since I'm not a truck driver, I'm going to have to recuse myself.
October 16th, 2021 at 9:09 AM ^
This is offensive to all truck drivers
October 16th, 2021 at 9:18 AM ^
Unlike internet bloggers, truck drivers actually contribute to society.
October 16th, 2021 at 10:35 AM ^
What AlaskanYeti said.
Are we really still using blue collar work as a symbol of denigration?
Having put myself through the University of Michigan with blue collar work, including driving a truck, I believe our blogosphere is clever enough to find other insults.
Like the suggestion others have made, of the The Ohio State Crapper.

1) it’s a Ufer reference
2) the Ufer reference is less about “ha ha truck drivers suck” and more about how “the” Ohio State University draws a particularly rabid crowd of folks with zero connection to OSU.
October 16th, 2021 at 11:02 AM ^
Thanks for the clarification, and I get it. Heck, Ufer's gibe may even be the reason Ohio State added their pretentious "The," hoping to sound classier.
Yet despite knowing that Ufer used it, it still seems like scorn for blue-collar work.
October 16th, 2021 at 11:22 AM ^
I get where you’re coming from, but there’s a couple of generations of M fans that have been laughing at that crack for ages. Not because there’s something wrong with driving a truck, but just because they have these violent mobs of people that have nothing to do with the school. I doubt the people that make a game in the Shoe such a miserable and life threatening experience are OSU students or anything. More like soccer hooligans. More into trashing things than supporting a football team. Just an excuse to poop in coolers.
October 16th, 2021 at 12:36 PM ^
Thanks for your observation, Mr. Dude, and I may be wrong.
But historically, when Ufer started using the reference, blue-collar work could provide a comfortable living, workers making more money than their parents. See Flint and Detroit in the 50s and 60s. But that upward path flattened after that, so now, doesn't "blue collar" more often indicate condescension to those in tough circumstances?
As for not attending, isn't that the sneer that Staee fans throw at us, many of whom didn't attend Michigan?
October 16th, 2021 at 3:21 PM ^
Now you are being offensive to soccer hooligans. Personally, sir, I resent that.
October 16th, 2021 at 11:26 AM ^
Isn't use of the phrase "blue collar" itself scornful? Can't all work just be called work?
October 16th, 2021 at 12:29 PM ^
I thought about that idea, Comrade, enough that I hesitated to post. However, "blue collar worker"—probably coming into vogue with the rise of widespread office work (in white shirts), still tends to connote lower-paying jobs.
And unfortunately some people who have more money and college degrees, especially from more prestigious schools, still tend to use the phrase as a term of scorn.
October 16th, 2021 at 12:44 PM ^
Only when used by elitist stooges in a negative contaxt. There is a reason blue denim is used in many types of "work."
October 16th, 2021 at 1:31 PM ^
But Ufer wasn't an elitist stooge.
October 16th, 2021 at 1:25 PM ^
I tend to think of blue collar as a compliment as it indicates real work and maybe real work ethic. Now redneck and hillbilly are a different story.
October 16th, 2021 at 8:20 PM ^
Among the things I've learned during the pandemic is having greater appreciation for the importance of truckers, nurses, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, roofers, masons, landscapers and medical researchers. (Skills I never learned during my law school days - and yes, I know the joke about the lawyer and the plumber. LINK)
October 17th, 2021 at 12:44 AM ^
USA actually needs a LOT more truck drivers right now. Supply chain is a mess and the lack of drivers is making it worse
October 16th, 2021 at 7:53 AM ^
What’s wrong with their field? Why does it need redesign? As much as I hate them, their field is pretty sharp. I was actually glad when Michigan did what they did with the color in the endzone and filled it in with Blue.
Maybe they’ll do one of those stupid things with the diamond pattern or just diagonal lines. But i really don’t understand why they feel it needs a redesign.
October 16th, 2021 at 8:00 AM ^
Hopefully they go all early 2000’s with some diamond plate design.
October 16th, 2021 at 8:37 AM ^
Just my worthless opinion, but the all red endzones look terrible. Sometimes less is more, and in this case, I think less scarlet would be beneficial.
October 16th, 2021 at 9:22 AM ^
They have been dominant since their current field design. Why change it?
I have stomped on the "O" in the middle of the field in a couple of their designs over the years in celebration of Michigan victories, but not the current design.
If I was them, I would carpet every square inch of the campus in the current design.
October 16th, 2021 at 9:23 AM ^
FieldTurf fields need to be replaced periodically. While they are doing that, they are opening it up to new designs.
October 16th, 2021 at 8:01 AM ^
The font in the endzones could use an update. Plus they'll probably make it a bigger block zero in the middle of the field.
October 16th, 2021 at 8:02 AM ^
Omg you can submit any image you want and use a bullshit email address.
I'm going to spend the day uploading images of Charles Woodson
October 16th, 2021 at 8:14 AM ^
I’m away from a proper computer today, but an MS Paint drawing of a dick with yard lines seems appropriate
October 16th, 2021 at 8:15 AM ^
Or a dogs anus
October 16th, 2021 at 10:21 AM ^
This is the only option.
October 16th, 2021 at 8:27 AM ^
Put coolers in the end zones. It'll be funny as hell watching game day security and ushers trying to keep all the redneck truckers off the field during the game.
"Well ain't dat da shitter right over dar? I got to get rid o'these Road Kill Nachos!' Hehhehheh..."
October 16th, 2021 at 9:31 AM ^
I would put a life-size Tai Streets image on the field in the spot where he caught the slant from Griese as Shawn Springs fell down.
October 16th, 2021 at 8:05 AM ^
October 16th, 2021 at 4:04 PM ^
Did autocorrect change your “pooper”?
October 16th, 2021 at 8:08 AM ^
So many ideas. Is it easy to paint a cooler in the end zone grass? Tattoos at the hash marks? How do I draw a migraine?
before I had a job, I would have probably submitted 20-30 designs, just to annoy whoever had to look at these submissions.
October 16th, 2021 at 8:16 AM ^
The ole' Doritos marketing campaign approach. If you can't come up with good ideas yourselves and are too cheap to pay for top dollar marketing and innovating ideas, just ask the public to help and entice them with $5,000.00 and 15 minutes of fame.
October 16th, 2021 at 9:32 AM ^
I'm in!
October 16th, 2021 at 10:48 AM ^
JFC, I never noticed its eyes are different colors. What kind of madman put that thing together in his spare time?
October 16th, 2021 at 11:00 AM ^
Yes they are, I took this picture at Michigan - Wisconsin College Game Day recently. They are not just reflecting the sunlight from different angles.
October 16th, 2021 at 1:20 PM ^
Max Scherzer.
October 17th, 2021 at 3:03 AM ^
Those Zubaz to the right are baller.
October 16th, 2021 at 8:18 AM ^
C'mon guys, it's obvious. The end zones should have the words "American Standard" and "1.5 gpf."
October 16th, 2021 at 10:26 AM ^
logged in just to upvote this - what a fitting design idea for those low-class, provincial, gap-toothed kohler poopers
October 16th, 2021 at 8:21 AM ^
They play in a stadium shaped like a giant toilet bowl. Common sense would tell you design the field to compliment said bowl.
October 16th, 2021 at 8:25 AM ^
I think they can use a THE before the O.
October 16th, 2021 at 8:36 AM ^
I support Theo Von too
October 16th, 2021 at 9:03 AM ^
I should have added a "/s"?
