Grass anyone?

[Dadof2Vols]

With all the rain, is that good or bad for the field? Will it be a mess for Florida, Alabama and the NC playoff game?

 

[Orangeburst]

No thanks..gave up smoking it years ago.

It is beautiful compared to that cow patty fields last week at Oklahoma!! Go Vols!!

I did temp work for a time in college. One job was laying sod. First of all, holy cow, that's hard work. The supervisor said you want to "drown" sod for several days to get the best results.

After laying sod, heavy rain will hinder the root system in most yards however I suspect Neyland has a better drainage system

Funny, looks like a soccer pitch without the lines on it.

Doubt it will be well rooted in 16 days. Why wait and put new turf down 1/3 of the way into the season?

I’m assuming concerts tore it up?

This is a hybrid. This is a cross, ah, of Bluegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sensemilia. The amazing stuff about this is, that you can play 4 quarters on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus-belt that night on this stuff.

My dealer won't like you cutting in on his turf.

I trust Danny White and the crew on this one. Lots of sunshine and cool evenings next week. The turf will be ready.

Plenty of water is great for freshly laid sod

Well timed bye week too

I heard on the radio that to avoid having it destroyed by the concert, they removed the sod. I assume they rolled it up and stored it until after the concert and then laid it back down. Seems like the least expensive option.

Edit 09/28/24: Just heard Brent Hubbs say it is new turf from a company in Charlotte.

I thought Oklahoma already hired all of them away last year. I guess there are more.

What's wrong with New Balances? And, smoked meat and a manicured lawn are damn forms of art.

 

[BruiserVol]

Put me in the category of no concerts on the field during football season. It makes zero sense.
