We had a few hurt on Saturday due to that damn artificial shite. They always say that things need to change for player safety but this one is probably the biggest cause of injuries.

Who all has the artifical turf?

Texas, Mizzou, Kentucky?

Get that shite replaced with real grass.

We used to have turf, and switched to real grass about 7 years ago.

Can't say i'm a fan of it. Maason Smith, indoors last year in the Superdome against FSU, it got him. Especially outdoors down South, no excuse for that shite.

We had it for about 5 years and tore that shite out, which is what everybody should do.

We have the UGA tiffway turf. Kind of wish we had MSU's turf, but I guess that wouldn't be accepted by some idiots in our fanbase.

Texas AD said we are putting in grass as soon as the new practice field is completed. Idk when that will be, but it should be soon. 2 years tops I would guess.

lol yes what he said ^

That's good to hear.

Kentucky and Mizzou, you're on the clock.

In a way it almost seems like a disadvantage. I’ve seen turf throw teams who play mostly on grass off-kilter, but teams with turf at home aren’t going to have as much problems when playing away on superior surfaces.

I remember "experts" on ESPN saying we'd be too fast for Nebraska since Sun Devil Stadium has a grass field...

We had turf in the 70s and 80s for some reason.

State, as well as other schools I'm sure, had several players who fell victim to VHS's turf. Yes. It should be banned on any outdoor playing surface in the south

Indoor stadiums should be banned outside of areas that the weather is too hot and those domes should be required to be open when not too hot or cold.
