What if we transplanted some of the MSC grass onto the field and then recruited some of the over zealous high strung corps police to freak out on the other team for walking on it. We could possibly have the best tackling team in the nation.

Tifway Bermuda.

I don't know the strand number.

There is also 12 inches of sand followed by a protective fiber sheet and plastic grading.

Kyle Field can pretty much take 4 feet of rain and be dry within 12 hours.

No other playing surface like it.

The best part about it is you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon and get stoned to the bejeezus on it at night.






But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. – Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)

What happened to turf? I remember back in my day, when we played on the knewest technologically advantageous carpet: ASTRO-turf.

Most playing surfaces are Bermuda. It can handle more foot traffic

It's designed to take traffic much better than regular Bermuda and drain much quicker than normal playing surfaces

Wildman, I was diverted and didn't get back to you. A dickfer pokes holes, makes holes bigger, and can be used for Sod aeration if you get a hard one.

I think we should doctor the grass on the sidelines for Les before the LSU game.

I honestly wish we would go to an artificial turf. No particular reason, I just like it.

GOOD grass is always preferable to even the best turf. In the past, bad grass or even no grass was preferable to the artificial stuff, but not anymore. We're probably on the edge as far as weather but I think we've got a top notch ground crew that makes up the difference. In Florida or Southern Cal, you could just hire a local yard crew to tend to the grass and still have a good playing surface. Everywhere else in the US, it requires some work.
