Never go full Basillio Bruin.

From the guy who brought you "the plane is going to pick up Lovie".

How is this a conspiracy? The field looks like $#!+. The guys one job is to make the field look good.

Again, with so many job openings next year Butch will get what he wants.

Regardless when someone that covers the team, Deerpark, or travis Stephens confirms part of my "story" that was mocked and ridiculed here I damn sure am bringing those post/reports here to this thread

That's the thing...it's not your "story" but yet you try to pass it along as yours.

Well not sure whether to be proud or cry

Basilo is either reading my post or confirming them

This is a post from the FF forum

Issue may be jones overuses the field... not giving the field any off season rest ad wanting a green surface year round. see Tony Basilio note on current grasskeeper...

....Why is that Darren Seybold's other fields on that campus at EVERY OTHER natural grass venue are spotless with wonderful playing fields? The Lady Vols soccer stadium is immaculate. Both the softball and baseball fields are wonderful. The track is spotless yet the football field is mess. I'll help you out here. Every other aforementioned surface has down time and is not re sodded every year. I'll give you another nugget. Sources told me late last night that Seybold wanted to top dress the playing field in Neyland Stadium but was rebuffed by the football staff. The purpose of top dressing is to make the field less slick while this also helps keep the surface together during use. Plus, Tennessee hasn't been using a 1/2 inch cleat. Instead, they've been using a 3/8 inch cleat on that surface. This hasn't helped matters..

What has Hart done to handle this situation? never had this issue with previous grasskeeper.. cause may be the way Jones overuses the field year round...
Could hurt recruiting ..Why go to Tennessee and blow out your knee with the horrible field conditions?

how many times you really think Basilio watches soccer and baseball to see wear and tear? Neyland looked pretty immaculate early in season and at first glance too.

Gonna have to disagree with Deerpark...I don't think anyone was aware of anything Dooley was doing at anytime.

Waiting on those test results are almost as bad as getting bad news from the test results.

Glad you're doing ok, SHG. Hopefully better days are ahead and the worst is behind you. Prayers for you still, ma'am.

Yeah I agree. Waiting on test results can be stressful but once you get that call and you hear good news, you are so relieved. Thank you for the prayers, sir. I hope Ashlee is doing well, continued prayers for her as well. :hi:

Go Vols! Let's finish 8-4.

Or maybe you are Basilio, or he's your "source".

Seybold worked for only Dooley and jones. Part of his "excuse" is overuse by jones.

Deerpark confirmed jones uses the field more than Dooley which is the only thing that matters when considering Seybold

He also said that Dooley is the exception, that Fulmer used the field a lot too, and that the previous guy never had a problem.

Basilio trying to compare the field to the softball, soccer, and baseball fields is amateur at best. Anyone can tell you that football fields take a completely different type of abuse than baseball and soccer fields.

That's another thing Deerpark said that you're ignoring: that our current guy is great at growing baseball fields and golf courses since that's his experience, but that he's not so great at maintaining a field.

You're either willfully ignoring or failing to comprehend the things Deerpark has written that clash with your little conspiracy theory.

And why would anyone be surprised that Jones uses the field more than Dooley did? Poor example.

The only parts of your story that have been confirmed are that players were using a 3/8 cleat and Dooley did less on the field than Butch. And Deerpark even clarified that players have the option to choose which cleat they'd rather wear. Nike's "speed" cleats happen to be molded and don't allow for clear adjustment and naturally most skill players will gravitate towards those cleats.

That's a far cry from your idiotic implications that Butch is having players wear 3/8 cleats so that the field will look worse and we'll get turf.


Crap like this is why you got ran off these boards in the past, man. You just can't avoid rampant speculation and rumor-mongering, can you?

Darth

I have submitted this "story" as the excuses coming from the grounds keeping side of things.

I don't agree that they are all worthy of acquitting Seybold of fault here. I fully believe there has been significant mistakes made from Seybold. The biggest is his failure to overcome the use that jones has demanded. He hasn't maintained the turf thru that use well enough.

I am just saying there is blame to go around on all parties not just the one sided story that JimmyH put out here.

I never said jones was forcing the kids to wear a shoe of any kind. That's ludicrous

I am done posting here about it unless challenged here or there are more legit reports that either confirm or refute the "story" I was told

Absolutely not.

I have been very clear to say I was told this story and to Tifwiw

There has been plenty of confirmation at least to parts of it anyway

If that's the case, say your story once. You don't have to tell us eighteen damn times the exact same thing worded slightly differently.
