FIU is replacing the turf over the spring and summer. 

West Broward was in the title game.  I don't think it was about winning but about the $$$, rather.  I think Columbus is making some good $$$ offers out there.

This kid probably wanted to leave so he could win but I'm like everyone else which is I never would have thought Columbus though.

Not surprised that he left for another school but did not consider Columbus as a landing spot.

Mike E., I agree with much of what you said, especially the FIU turf.  It should have been replaced years ago.  Love your Zamboni reference.  I noticed this year a lot of players staying on the ground for a while after tackles.  It appeared the landings were as tough as the tackles.  Since we’re mentioning the FIU turf, wasn’t it ironic the year a team from Dade County failed to win a state title 305 is plastered on it?  I digress.   The great Wavebb and myself discussed this while we were at Drive Pink.  We came to the conclusion that the field was prescription turf that had been rolled out.  If you looked at it closely there appeared to be small divots that were pretty hard to see.  I could be wrong.  @Joshua Wilson would be able to answer that question.  The parking at Drive Pink was a sand pit.  Especially awful was paying $20 a game while waiting in a traffic jam to get in. I was told by a very good source in Tallahassee that FAMU lost the 2nd year of the finals because there were some discrepancies concerning the finances.  Also, there wasn’t much time in between games so the locker rooms needed to be exited fairly quickly and the next team could get in to get ready for their game.  Apparently Aquinas did not care about this and stayed much longer than agreed upon for either Lakeland or Venice who played in the night game.  The night team was very unhappy about it.
