The first half is hard to watch falling behind by 21. I will say this, all the missed calls by the refs in the first half were just brutal and while I dislike Gary Danielson he pointed out each of the missed calls by the refs and how huge the missed calls were.

Now Vern, still just horrible. Horrible.

Danielson may think a lot of his own knowledge, but he is pretty solid.

Does anyone have updates on the field repairs in Neyland? Rewatching this UT/UGA game and it looks like crap.

I just finished re-watching that game today too. (watched he first half last weekend) Getting ready for the upcoming season. I did delete it off the DVR.

That dropped TD pass by the Georgia player in the 4th quarter.......had forgotten that.

I closed my eyes again as a reflex. Was dizzy when I opened them up again. Whew.

They re-sodded it after the O&W game. A couple of weeks ago Bobby Campbell (I think that's his name) who was in charge of UT's fields for a long time on the Sports Animal.

He said he never sodded the field. They sprigged it originally in 94 and again around 00 (ish) IIRC.

Most fields, college & pro, are re-sodded each year. Some more than once. UT seems to have more trouble than just about anyone. Don't understand it with the resources available.

Bobby Campbell was hired by Mark Richt at the U to oversee their practice fields.

This was almost another "Hobnail Boot" game.

We don't actually have more trouble than anyone, we just notice it because it's our field. Watching games across the country late in the season last year you saw many fields in as bad of, if not worse, condition than ours. But, for some reason, ours got all the attention.

This is a tough climate to grow grass that will stay solid in both the summer and the late fall, but it's not impossible. It was a better surface when Bobby Campbell was in charge of it for sure, but the attention it got last year was unfair compared to the poor condition of fields elsewhere in better climates.

Which goes back to the question of why not just sprig it?

In 1994 it was sprigged in May and 1st mowed in at the end of June. If re-sodding keeps producing the same results then maybe it's time to change!

Clemson, UNC, Duke all had great looking fields compared to UT's. I get it that some of it has to do when you can overseed, but the Bermuda roots seemed to be the issue...not the rye. Rye will grow anywhere in cool weather.

As even Bobby Campbell has discussed on local radio, the sprig vs. sod isn't what is causing the problem. A sprigged field will develop roots to about the depth as the sod already has.

I suppose you can disagree, but go back and take a look at Clemson's November home games against FSU and Wake Forest, chunks of turf coming up and brown spots between the hash marks. They just resodded their field last week, per their football twitter account. South Carolina's was absolute garbage for the Clemson game the last week of the season.

Florida's field was bad when we played on it in September. No one complained more about ours than Georgia and their field was horrendous down the stretch. We've focused so much on this perceived problem here that we've helped to further the myth that ours is abnormal and that's just not the case.

Now, I've said many, many times that I don't think we have the right person in the groundskeeper job. Some "experts" in the field that work at other schools agree with that. But pretending that worn spots in November and chunks coming up when players cut are unique to Tennessee is just not correct.
