This is really great to see. Only 3 with turf but for OU, since we play tx at Cotton Bowl (grass), we only have 2 potential turf games.
Mizzou needs to get with the program! Vandy I understand since they are at bottom but I hope Mizzou invests in some grass if they want to be big league.
A&M: grass
ARK: grass
AUB: grass
BAMA: grass
FLA: grass
KENT: grass
LSU: grass
MIZZ: astroturf
MSU: grass
OM: grass
OU: grass
S CAR: grass
TENN: grass
TEX: field-turf
UGA: grass
VANDY: Legion 46 turf

Texas will go to natural grass in 2025.

We actually had turf in the 70s and 80s.

Grass doesn’t grow well at Faurot. George Toma, the longtime groundskeeper for the Chiefs, said the problem with Faurot was that there was way too much sand so the roots had nothing to hold onto. That's why especially early in the season you would see clumps of turf come up, which is why astroturf has been used since the mid 80’s.

Tennessee has a fantastic field that no one ever complains about

OU being obsessed with Mizzou wasn’t what I was exactly thinking would happen when they joined the conference, but here we are.

Are you going to blame our turf for losing too

2024 is the last year of field turf at DKR.

Speaking of turf, Texas you need to do something about that baseball field.

I think we had problems with grass

They put grass in the late 90s. Didn’t take and came up in clumps. The stadium is nearly 100 years old and the field is dug down to the bedrock. Ain’t gonna happen.

Natural grass is okay until it rains like hell for 3 straight days before a cold game in November.

Turf gets kids hurt.

I remember the days when only Auburn, LSU, UK and UGA had grass. I will always respect the hell out of those 4 for not giving in to that plastic shite in the 70's.,, Even if UK played on beige grass the last half of the season
