The Turf in Norman

[VolFreakJosh]

These field conditions are absolutely terrible.

Surprised this isn’t causing more injuries.

Hendon hooker tore his ACL because of South Carolina’s trash field. Now we’ve lost John Campbell potentially, and an OU player is hurt as well. This is a controllable issue, and it needs to be addressed. If schools can’t maintain standards relative to the condition of their fields, they should be liable to fines and sanctions.

This field is atrocious. Has this happened at their home previously? We are slipping and sliding all over the place. Injuries are happening and won't be surprised if they're aren't more injuries.

They need to get that fixed. It's ridiculous at this level

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Why aren't our trainers changing out to longer spikes? I don't see their guys slipping like our guys.

I think OK did this on purpose. Long grass, wet turf even though super hot and dry there this week

Trash field, looks like the Titans field the last 3 or 4 years when they set records for injuries and most players used during the season. Glad they switched to turf this year but Oklahoma should be ashamed. I saw first hand with my Titans how many injuries could occur because of this sh*t. Their field has been garbage all season.

If they did overwater the field this week, that's certainly reaching into the bag of old school tricks.

Last week it was mostly brown , looked burnt up . This week it's green , they have put something on it to give it color . It also made it slick , seen several players slip and it needs mowed .

SEC office should have a chat with them.

It’s intentional to slow our running game down.

 

[dduncan4163]

Yup their field is trash.

 

[TexasVolfan1]

Probably just dyed it cause it has not been any better than last week.

Nah, they watered the hell out of it. It’s insanely thick. Done purposefully to make it harder for people to run and cut. They didn’t want big plays happening. Should be against the rules. It can really injure people.

I was saying that all game, that they had to have watered the field. Our players were slipping and theirs wasn’t. Did all they could to try and slow us down. Just not enough.

 

[posivol]

it was crapola

It’s a cow pasture.

 

[OldVolMan]

I think it was intentional with our WR speed and running backs speed and depth it would hurt us more than them. And they probably practiced on a field like that all week. Part of their plan.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

SEC Teams will use the field conditions against OU in recruiting...

No different than how NFL teams used Nissan against the Titans for free agency....

 

[madbamahater]

The grass seemed tall and the field seemed wet. Doesn't look like they cut they grass and it looks like they watered the hell out of it earlier in the day.....

 

[UTK]

A travesty. Big reason we went conservative in the second half

 

[ENGRVOL]

Even USCjr would be embarrassed with a field like that

This is like a major league baseball team watering the basepaths.
