Title: Team practicing on the grass fields?
Post by: Bullfn33 on August 16, 2007, 08:37:45 PM
I hope Prince has them going on the grass practice fields more often than not these next two weeks since the game at AU will be on grass.  If you remember last season, we didn't get much experience on grass.  We only played 3 of 12 on grass and 2 of them were terrible performances(BU, RUT*).  Has anyone seen them practicing on the grass fields when driving or jogging down College Ave?

Baylor put in synthethic turf in 2004. So we went 1-1 on grass, or better get 1-0 on grass during regular season play.

Can the Reliant Stadium field actually be considered "grass"?

That was horrible.

Oh ok.  I obviously didn't get to see the Baylor game last year and just assumed they still had grass.  Let's pray it doesn't rain before or during the game at Auburn.  Our team isn't built for wet, slow turf.

cool thanks.  I hope they go on it more often next week.  I think the grass fields we have has Bermuda grass which is probably what Auburn has.  Everyone in the south has that so that would be good to get used to.

I drive by there at least twice a day, and they are rarely on the grass.

We lost to Baylor because we didn't have a quarterback yet, and we lost to Rutgers because they were Rutgers.  And no O line.
