Is it an upset when NDSU wins?

Agreed. IMO it is unreservedly Morgan time.

Guys, it's colored turf. I've worked on several projects installing it myself. The midfield logo, the words Bowling Green and Falcons in the end zone, the MAC logo, the field numbers and all of the yard lines are turf. Further, if it was paint (which it isn't), BG's pants and MTSU's jerseys would be covered in it with this weather. If anyone he wants to put some money on it I'd be happy to take it from you. ;)
GO BG!!!

It just looked like there's only a bubble under the logo.

Hand's down the best program in 1AA, and no doubt more talented than most MAC schools.

Still pretty embarrassing for Iowa to lose to them.

Good effort by the D but no way that is a fumble

No you didn't. The midfield logo - which is made out of COLORED TURF - was laid down and sewn on in. For the 20th time, it's NOT painted on.

So are the numbers, the lines, and the midfield logo sewn on. Because when the turf was installed it was just Green Turf with different shades every 5 yards. How can you magically make the midfield logo appear. It wasn't on the field when the turf was initially installed.

I don't know why anyone in D-1A schedules NDSU. You'd figure the whole bowl subdivision would refuse to play them at this point.

No way I'd ever schedule them.

They'd win the MAC most years.

They're good. They're really freaking good.

Thanks BGSU33. But since it's sewn on, wouldn't the turf be just slightly higher then the rest of the turf. I must have seen the backing of the logo as it was sewn in.
