The Official #6 Tennessee @ #15 Oklahoma Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, ABC

Maybe they can mow the field at the half.

 

[Wezcoast]

The field obviously sucks , but they gotta play on it too.

 

[The_Dude]

This field is garbage. Grass is too tall and soaked. I keep seeing the runners heel slip when cutting or making a move.

 

[Zues1]

Doesn't seem to effect their players.

They new. Longer clears I imagine.
Garbage

 

[Other_Guy]

Anyone know what's up with Sampson? Has the vol network reported anything?

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Yes they soaked the field.

Hasn't been mowed in a week.

 

[DirtyDawg]

I gotta agree with you guys, this field is BS!

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Did they hose the field down before the game? That's a trick that soccer teams do when they are faced with a superior opponent.

Come on guys. They have to play on the same field.

 

[Z06Vol]

Campbell bang knees with defender?

 

[Score50]

Oklahoma didn’t cut the grass on purpose. What a figgin bush league stunt. SEC commissioner should fine them. They think they are still in the pansy league. I wish they still were.

 

[volgr]

How many slips before we go to longer cleats? Ridiculous.

 

[Tenacjim]

they need to be fined for this bs field

Fine? They should have to play on the road every game until it is up to proper specs!

 

[theroyz71]

So boo is hurt and now Campbell. Great.

Boo got hurt?

 

[OptimisticFan]

Maybe they can mow the field at the half.

They’ll bring the cows back in to graze a bit.

 

[tntornadox]

The field obviously sucks , but they gotta play on it too.

Maybe they're used to it? I don't know if this is how it always looks or not?

 

[crawdaddyjc]

wait is the injured a vol or ou player?

 

[fossilfiction]

This is BS with this turf

This field is criminal for such a storied program

I will say that I remember our field getting pretty terrible under the Dooley failed experience. But no reason not to cut that grass unless you are trying to slow players down.

 

[Sarms58]

We need to focus on just making first downs…

Bush league ****

 

[SonOfGodVolforlife]

I hope Campbell is ok. That’s a hit. Only nice part is OU’s defense isn’t nearly as aggressive here. I think we are wearing them down a little.

Taking the top off a couple times helps too.

 

[AthensVol2007]

The field obviously sucks , but they gotta play on it too.

They HAVE to have longer spikes on in preparation for this.

 

[VOL RN]

Injuries, slips, my lawd

 

[Switch 625]

Last week I said my number one concern for this game was their field.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Anyone know what's up with Sampson? Has the vol network reported anything?

Bishop has outplayed him

 

[xpsyclonex2002]

Long grass to slow the speed. Dirty pool. This game is far from over. I see a lot more injuries before we walk out of this game.
