Idaho State got a new field for the 2011 football season.
Here's a neat time-lapse video of the installation.
But after seeing Eastern Washington go 8-0 on the Inferno at Roos Field, I'm surprised they didn't make it orange.

Idaho State installs new turf, not as cool
Oh look at what Idaho State's new turf looks like! It's not red, it's not orange, it's green. Lame.
“Hellas Construction, Inc. is excited to add Idaho State University's Holt Arena to its list of high profile installations,” Bruce Layman, Vice President of the Turf Division of Hellas Construction. “We are thrilled our Matrix removable system was selected for this project. We know this selection will add to Holt Arena's versatility and ability to increase utilization. Lastly, we are especially proud to be a part of this project as Holt Arena was the first removable synthetic turf system installed in the world in the 1970's. We know that we are dealing with a “savvy” customer when it comes to synthetic turf for its' sports facilities and the Matrix turf is unmatched in quality in today's sports facilities.”
Awesome, enjoy being plain jane Idaho State!

Amazing Idaho State free throw
With Big Sky play getting started soon it looks like Eastern Washington might have tough time with Idaho State. The reason being that it appears this off season the Bengals learned the ways of the Force.
Kamil Gawrzydek's free throw sits balanced on the front of the rim at the 2010 Gossner's Invitational vs. Utah State University.

Our Neighbors Weekly Update: JustSoN coverage across the Pacific Northwest
-University of Montana-
Tonight the Lady Griz take on Portland State, at PSU, for claim of the top of the Big Sky. Both teams are 6-0 in conference games. With Montana being 17-3 overall, and Portland State is 13-6. It's a winner take all game at a big time in the season. The game starts 7 p.m. Pacific and can be watched online at www.bigskytv.org.
On the men's side PSU is visiting Montana tonight. The Griz currently sit in 3rd in the Big Sky, having beat Northern Colorado 68-59 on 1/25. The men Vikings also are in 1st place, and the Griz could really use a home win.
Indoor track will be in Bozeman on Friday for the Montana State Dual Invitational. Montana will be going against MSU and Idaho State.
-Montana State University-
The men's team has slid to 6th in the Big Sky after back-to-back losses. At the hands of Northern Colorado the Bears had their way with the Bobcats, 55-65. After that, MSU traveled down to Southern Mississippi, only to loose 60-68. Tonight they host Eastern Washington. The Eagles currently sit in 7th in the Conference and are looking to get their season back on track. A win tonight for the Bobcats would be huge.
-Idaho State University-
Tonight ISU will be trying to "white out" their arena as the Weber Wildcats come into town. The Bengals have a slight hold on the 4 spot in the Conference, but Northern Colorado is nipping at their heels. But Weber State won't be overlooked. The Wildcats are currently tied with PSU for first in the Big Sky. ISU needs a win tonight at home to keep pace with the Bears.
-University of Idaho-
While ISU is trying to white out their gym, U of I is trying to "black out" theirs. Tonight the Vandals take on Boise State. The Vandals are flying high after winning the rematch with New Mexico State 67-57. UI currently sit in 4th in the WAC, one spot behind the visiting Boise State. A win tonight would help close the gap between the two. Idaho is 3-3 in conference, while Boise State is 5-2.
The indoor track teams will be heading to Pullman on Friday and Saturday for the Washington State Cougar Invitational.
-University of Alaska Anchorage-
The gymnasitics team heads to Colorado this week. The 0-4 squad is searching for their first win of the season. 1/31 will see them in Denver, 2/1 the squad goes Colorado Springs to take on Air Force.
In men's basketball, the Seawolves lost at Billings, MT to Montana State - Billings 60-69. Seniors Jeremiah Trueman and Kenny Barker combined for 37 points. But a late 2nd half push by the Yellowjackets proved to much for UAA.

Best and Worst of Big Sky Helmets
I found this site while cruising around the Internet tonight. It showed all of the football helmets used in the Big Sky Confrence. But the coolest part was that it showed the past helmets as well.
For the link CLICK HERE.
But let me tell you about some of my favorites.
First off, I think the BEST helmet would go to the Idaho State Bengals of 1962.
I love the way the helmet logo is the state shape, and then it says STATE. I think that is crisp, clean and very original.
The SECOND BEST helmet would go to the Portland State Vikings of 1999-2001.
The white and green really flow together and the viking is futuristic and badass.
The THIRD BEST helmet has to go to (I can't believe I am going to write this) but the Montana Grizzlies of 1988-1995.
Now stay with me for a moment. The graphic doesn't do the colors justice. The real colors of the helmet were gold paint, with a copper logo and a silver facemask. Here's why:
The University of Montana's official colors have for many years been silver, copper, and gold (in recognition of the state's mining industry), but a set of "spirit colors" which are used by the school's athletic teams was adopted in about 1996; these are maroon, silver, and gold.
Any school that uses copper in its scheme can't be that bad right? Right? Ok, I like their helmet, still not their school.
The U of M actually brought back the uniforms this season for their home game against Montana State. The uniforms are terribly ugly, but the helmets are cool.
Anyone who knows me, knows that I love stuff from random schools. I own many random college t-shirts, sweatshirts and hats simply because they look original. That is why the Griz make the list. Based on appearance alone.
HONORABLE MENTION: The Eastern Washington Eagles of 2000-present.
The red is great, the logo is great, but just misses the top 3.
Which leads me to the top 3 WORST helmets in the history of the Big Sky teams.
The WORST helmet goes to the Idaho State Bengals of 1992-1996.
Yes, Idaho State had the coolest and the ugliest helmets over the years. They also have had 22 helmets since 1960. PICK ONE ALREADY!!!
But I don't like this helmet because they stole the University of Miami "U" and tried to jam it in there with the "IS". WAY too much going on.
The SECOND worst helmet goes to the Sacramento State Hornets of 2001.
Yeah. The helmet says SAC on it. Nice.
And finally, the THIRD worst helmet goes to the Montana State Bobcats of 1961.
Look closely at this helmet. It looks like a knock off of the University of Michigan. I see that the front lines make an "M", for Montana. But seriously? Who thought that was a good design?
Honorable mention: The Weber State Wildcats of 1980-1996.
Purple and white. Bad. Giant "W" with an arrow pointing forward. Bad. Used it for 16 years. Bad.
And that is my top 3 best and worst of football helmets of the teams in the Big Sky history.
