Redhawks land on red turf for practice

[written Friday night but forgot to actually post]

Just got back from shooting some of the SEMO practice at Roos Field. Some of the players and coaches I talked with thought the field would be much brighter.  The team was loose for the brief work out, some of the guys channeled their inner child and jumped into the huge mounds of snow.

It was brutally cold. Official temperature at practice was 26 with a NE wind at 10 mph making it feel like 17 degrees.  Perfect football weather... If you are a polar bear.

Playing on a red field makes the uniform choice of each team a bit more relevant.  I was told the Redhawks will wear white on black with red helmets and Eastern Washington will probably go with red on red.

I don't envy SEMO QB Matt Scheilble who will have to try and spot the Eagles defenders as they blend into the field.
