We should just plant that **** in Peruvian Gold. Clippings pay for the entire program, free tickets for fans, and recruiting turns into a cake walk.

Championships for years.

Tight tight tight!!

Just put in the artificial field turf stuff then reuse it for next season if/when the turf is trashed from another round of construction.

Fieldturf average price is around 750k... And you could dump it off to a local hs after the two seasons of use.

You know, if Kim Cattrall was an expert in sports fields, I would plow that *** inside out.

Hey, maybe I'm wrong and if so please inform me with some facts. I've laid grass before. I do know this, laying grass before the Ole Miss game can't be a great idea... not enough time

Most grass sports fields are grown over a sand substrate with various levels. We actually have a class all about it: SCSC 427.

Dr. Duble's SCSC 302 was also a decent class to learn about turf grass. If you actually want to learn more, the handouts below were from his class describing some of old Kyle Field's construction (and Olsen), "soil" composition, drainage considerations, etc. I believe it was still current before they tore the field up.

who hasn't laid pallets St. Augustine? it's not the same thing.


from the article:
quote:

Aside from the thicker sod base, another reason Carolina Green was chosen is that the company has expertise in replacing fields in-season.
Over the last five years, Carolina Green has done in-season replacements
for the Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins, University of
Tennessee, University of Kentucky and University of South Carolina. Just
last week the Dallas Cowboys and Tennessee Titans played on surface
that had been installed the week before by Carolina Green.

How the **** can we not grow our own grass? I took turf grass management when I was there for ****s sake.

Total overreaction due to huge rainfall. Give it a month and the turf would be fine.
A&M spends alum money like there is no tomorrow.
Get ready to pledge to the "New Turf For Kyle" program.
Ridic.

That's why I refuse to give the administration anymore money (until I have to pay for my season tickets next year).

So, you insist on 'natural turf', even if it has boulders in it? I guess as long as you can brag to your buddies about having a natural surface, you win, right?

Last week it was 4 inches of rain. Now, it's 12 inches of rain (trademarked).

So, the grass would have been fine if we did not get the rain the night before the game. Instead of letting it grow for the next month we will spend an extra $300k to put new grass in one week before the Ole Miss game. If the current grass should have been good last week, shouldn't it be good after anot her month of growth?

The problem was the seams. The rain was a compounding issue.
