Without making a joke, I'm pretty sure our groundskeeper for those years was an Aggie. I'd almost bet on it.
More to do with drainage and mold. Field's on solid bedrock and doesn't drain super well in the south endzone.

Yup, as has been discussed on the rant before, Mizzou even brought in professional groundskeepers (I believe Chiefs' and possibly Royals') and even those guys couldn't get grass to grow well on the field. So turf it is, even though I'd obviously prefer grass.

You're telling me they couldn't raise the field elevation around a foot in the corners and sidelines? That would be enough to create a permeable bed and you could lay French drains in trenches dug into the bedrock (limestone?)
That is, of course, if you can find some that we haven't already used for frac sand.
