The artificial dirt looks purple. Like a woman’s exposed nipple in a cold room.

As rich as Texas is, their outdoor fields (football, baseball, and softball) look cheap as hell

They should be kicked out of the conference for the centerfield logo, along with OU.

Softball shite.

In their defense, how thier stadium is set up it makes it hard to grow grass because it’s sunken. But they have still figured out a way to make it work and are set to change it.

Mizzou can’t grow grass and won’t even try. But who cares because they won’t ever play in June anyway.

bullshite


they are just too lazy and too cheap. Mizzou could do Kentucky Bluegrass or that with a Zoysa hybrid, but again, they are too lazy


Iowa State has grass. Notre Dame has grass.
