Field conditions

[Swan Ronson]

Anybody else noticed how bad the field is holding up tonight? It's been bad all year, but this is dumpster juice.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Yeah it looks pretty rough.

 

[chuckb1448]

Yes, I made this comment late in the 1st quarter, it does seem "loose"

 

[mcompton]

Looks absolutely horrible on tv

That's what HE said?

 

[VolBricks]

I agree, the field does not look good. I see too many people slipping. Did it rain?

Yeah it happens this time of year every year lately

#Vols have spent thousands on the #Neyland playing surface in the past month or so, but that money’s gone to good use. Looks much better.

 

[Velo Vol]

Hey, it's grass--that's all that matters (according to many here).

I was not speaking of my ex hethren:crazy::dance2:

It may look alright but looks can be deceiving. Watch his many players are losing footing and sliding.

It "looks" better than it has recently, but that's not saying much. It does look rather soggy. Has it rained much in Knoxville this week, or have they just watered the crap out of it trying to help it as much as thy can?

NB4 Wes and Helen Keller are related.

Even Fowler just called it out for having "footing issues" tonight.

Wes proves again why he is the worst sports reporter in Knoxville. This field looks really bad.

I'm sure it looked good before the game. Rye will look good until the game starts. Then it poops the bed in a hurry.

 

[Roustabout]

The money is in green paint. I'm not joking. They are painting that cow pasture. That used to be one of the nicest. Someone needs to be fired.

No, the whole field looks atrocious. This is the first game in a few I've watched on TV and I think it looks even WORSE than it has in person the past few home games when I had seen it last.

Dobbs slips in a divot that looks like it was left by a sand wedge in a bunker.

 

[25801VOL]

Bring on the field turf.

 

[BadJerry20]

Hell to the no

 

[25801VOL]

After field conditions and seeing players fall time after time it's time to go to field turf.

 

[508mikey]

I like grass but all the players slipping and divots are disgusting - put in the field turf and fire these groundskeepers -

most will over look this fact but it is a major reason for the loss - I hope the players start complaining about it now

For years the field in Neyland was as good as any other; now it resembles that horrid sandbox at LP Field. Don't know who the head groundskeeper is now, but it's a huge step DOWN!:ermm:
