I thought the playing surface was really good today considering the game last Saturday and the weather this week
Interesting that you’re saying that we should be doing everything the way a 2A high school does. Is Jamie aware of this?
I know that there are schools with blue artificial turf. I suppose that you’d want to go with Cardinal, just because someone else is stupid enough to do it?
After all this there was zero problem with the turf today.
72 points and 700+ in offense. Hmmmmm.
I saw players slipping on a few plays and it looked really patchy in parts of the field. Hopefully they have good conditions over the next couple of weeks to get things right because there is lots of season left. It did not hold up well last season.After all this there was zero problem with the turf today.
I'm drooling after that TD run. That is some speed we haven't seen since Seneca. I think he may be faster than Seneca was.Re-al had a cut that told me that the turf is just fine.
I see players slip almost every game on turf too, especially with some light rain like we had during part of the game yesterday. The field help up fine last year until the Drake game. I don't think field turf would have been any better during that game with the freezing rain/snow mix we had. Now, if that game had happened earlier in the season and we had to play a home game after that, we would have been in trouble. Field turf would have helped in that case. But, I can't really think of a time when the field was really torn up after a season, other than after the Drake game last year.I saw players slipping on a few plays and it looked really patchy in parts of the field.

Slightly off topic. With an extra week to work before TCU, just how close to “back in shape” can the grounds crew get the field? I’m assuming it’s still warm enough for growth.
Watching the Saints at Seahawks game right now. Standard Seattle drizzle/mist (Yesterday weather in Ames). Seahawk running back is having a lot of difficulty with footing on the field turf. Changed cleats a couple of times.
