What a shame.

Think of the opportunity cost/loss.

What would the profit (margin be damned!) have been had they done this with every re-sodding?

Why weren't all the Wizards of Lawn Street at Mendoza consulted?

Without natural turf Rudy would never have come into play.

Will the change lead to turf toe plastic surgery?

Is this a new twist on the term "Old Sod?"

Aerate me now before I go to seed ...

I'll go with "Or What" for a true Daily Double, Alex.

My wife and I were discussing this yesterday. What exactly do you DO with a gift like this? I mean, the logical conclusion is to pull up some of your own grass and replant it, but that seems like a bit of work for some grass that may or may not have seen an entire football season. It's not like you can put this stuff in your den or on the mantle...maybe if you cut off a chunk and put it in a pot I guess.

Ha, yeah we spent yesterday trying to find a spot for it, i think we have a nice spot in the back yard we're going to plant it in. any extra pieces i'll put in a pot and keep in an office window or something.

 

[BleedBlueGold]

I considered getting a piece, planting it in my backyard, surrounding it with a 2 or 3 width brick frame and an embedded plaque. I can't seem to find any pictures online of what I'm envisioning so I can't post it. However, the cost of the sod is too insane imo to justify this project.

Something like this...sort of...

....Only a lot nicer obviously...but you get the point.

You do something like the picture and build miniature bleachers for both sides! lol

To your earlier comment, I don't know about God, but my ex-wife certainly wasn't a happy cramper.

Yeah, put some lines on and an interlocking ND logo at the 50. Awesome.

My dad ordered it and it came in the mail today. Literally just a patch of grass. I told him it was a waste of money but whatever he loves it.

What exactly were you expecting?


I don't know, a couple hundred bucks to have part of the Notre Dame field in my yard sounds like a pretty good deal. (Not to mention it makes the old man happy!)

 

[connor_in]

Graduation was last weekend...when do they start? I want to open my window and listen for NDNation cries of agony.

ND field? 2 years ago that grass was in some sod farm in Idaho.

Did you expect a leprechaun to leap out of the box? You gotta pay extra for that ish.

Maybe they put in in upside down

Well, 1.9 years ago it started its life as part of the ND field, where ND football is played, which I like, a lot.
