Is the SEC requiring Texas to switch to real grass for baseball and football?

Sitting here watching TCU vs Texas baseball.

Can Texas not grow grass?

No, Snakey does whatever they ask. He’s certainly not going to upset them with such a request.

Baseball should always be played on turf. Didn’t you know that?

Why? Because it reminds you of the regionals in Fayetteville last year?

Football is going to grass in 2026. I imagine we'll continue to have turf in baseball for the foreseeable future. Our facilities issues w/ baseball are bigger than a turf field.

It’s odd you remember that series and I didn’t. Seems like it must have been pretty important to you…

Congrats I guess.

Plan for real grass football field has been talked about long before joining the SEC, same with Baseball. The hold up at DKR was getting the South end zone project and Moody Arena (basketball) done, or so I've heard. No idea if that also affected baseball.

We could have a 100% dirt field and the SEC would just have to get used to it, nobody mandating anything.

Genuinely curious. Bern to a lot of baseball and football games at UT. Any concrete plans for baseball facilities?

Seems like a straightforward remodel of stadium is very doable. Plenty of room, Upgrade of turf to grass isn’t difficult.

Their HOA requires their property be aesthetically pleasing. Their hands are tied.

ahh yes the great aggie "burnt orange conspiracy" theories. God I've missed those lmao.
We also faked the moon landing and were behind 911. The rest of the SEC will catch up soon though.
I've missed you aggies. Oh how I've missed you.

....on a serious note I do agree about the baseball turf. It's a fricking travesty and has to been rectified soon.

I'll modify it for you. Texas will tell Snakey what they will do, and he will inform the rest of the SEC. That is the actual order of operations ...

OU has real grass football turf no fake shite.

And tx saying its a project in waiting is just dumb excuses. OU redid their complete sod last year and the dirt underneath. They have machines that come in now and strip it up in a day like fall harvesting so to speak. It was redone with new sod in less than a week. Granted, we had grass already but if tx wanted real grass it could be done mosh skosh

Here’s what it looked like yesterday. And because its real you can update logos fast unlike fake grass where you can’t just update. We took off tbe B12 logos and replaced with Toby Keith ones

OU is so needy with their SEC acceptance it is pathetic. Let’s send the sooner wagon around to SEC campuses. Nobody cares. Let’s have Finebaum come to our spring game. Nobody cares.

OU is joining the SEC! You are an afterthought just like every team not named Alabama, Texas, LSU, and Georgia. Welcome to the club!

Fellow SECers, do you remember us Aggies warning y'all about the t-sip sense of entitlement?
