Word came down from the REC to make the field conditions identical to the 2010 Capital One Bowl.

I may be wrong but I think there is a drainage system under the turf.

It looks like a nice field with very good turf. I'm sure there is....

It's prescription turf. Sand, drainage, the whole nine yards. Can handle a very hard downpour. The rain Saturday is less of an issue than the rain happening all during this week in T-town leading up to Saturday. Still think the field will be fine.

Not a Bama fan, but to my knowledge there is not a field tarp. Field always looks pretty good to immaculate every time I've seen it, which is just about every Friday. I can post a picture of the field Friday afternoon if you want.

So, you're one of those gay male cheerleaders ESPN showed playing in the rain during the last LSU game and you're hoping you'll get on TV again aren't you?

Well apparently the nfl are a bunch of p****** because Carolina used a tarp before Monday night. It's called good planning.

I was looking up this issue yesterday and came across an old article from when Saban first got there that he was running around bitching about a lack of a tarp during a rainy week. The article went on to clarify that a tarp isn't really necessary and talked about the drainage system. Not surprising.

That can't be correct. I just read this wasn't "****y baseball"
