Too bad there's not an ipf so the team can practice their outdoor sport inside. Damn, how can any coach win under these circumstances! ?

When you start playing games in an IPF then it will be time for us to have one; however, most games are played out side so players should get used to the condition in which they will play.

What about when it is lighting? Also, the team quit practicing an hour early due to bad weather. And one other thing is that when you are recruiting against other schools that have one you are at a disadvantage from the start.

I do not think RGT is committed enough to get one built.

Yeah, you are right if you want to be technical about it. In today's game, you SHOULD have an ipf. However, not having one is not an excuse to be the worst team in the history of college football. I can assure you that for all of the contributions to football shortcomings, lack of an ipf is the least significant.

Legitimate reasons for moving practice indoors:

- Lightning
- Ice/Snow storm makes field unplayable
- 40+ MPH winds provided you aren't going to be playing in the same conditions
- Hail
- Tornadoes
- just want to do so

Reasons that are not legitimate, at least not until we can climate control the temperature at our games:

-It's too cold!

Grow up and realize that if the Packers draft you, you'll have to play in much worse.

I'm all for an IPF but a little cold snap isn't justification for one

Packers also draft players. They don't have to recruit against teams that have IPF's. I believe Wisconsin has an IPF. But if we just want to get players with little to no offers and try to win with them then we do not need an IPF and we can quit practice early like they did yesterday all the time.
