re: Kenyan Drake

I was thinking the same thing that the previous play he went out with an injury may have led to the next. My biggest concern is the shitty field turf at the Vaught. And this isn't some bullshite trying to stir the pot post. There is basically an injury to someone's lower body in every single game you watch there. This really needs to be addressed and fixed. Watch the replay of the Drake injury when he is making his cuts before anyone hits him. Rebel fans, do you agree? I am married to a Rebel and go frequently to games there so I see first hand. I am not trying to put down the stadium because I am a Bulldog. I truthfully think that field is dangerous. Hell, there have been many more Rebel players hurt on it than opposing players.

Now this post is a knock on the Rebels. Hell, they couldn't grow grass in the damn place. Seems the had some disease or fungus that they couldn't get rid of or something. Some Rebel can give us that background, but that's one of the reasons why they went to the field turf. And I don't know what company they used, but the fricked that up to because it's awful.

Looked good to me yesterday


and the SEC can go ahead and suspend Elston.. You think we give a shite ?!? We have the deepest secondary in the country



A suspension to Trae just means that the CJ Hampton show premieres a little sooner than expected.










































God damn we're good

Damn that sucks. He had world class speed and agility.

Yes we do. Go compare anything on any of our athletic fields with anything in Oxford. Our football field turf is one of the best surfaces to play football on in the country. I don't like the field turf at Dudy Noble either, but it was done supposedly to make field maintenance on the high traffic areas easier. I hate it. There were many slap singles from balls bouncing on that shite this past year that would've been easy outs, especially the balls hit straight down in front of the plate that bounced over the pitchers mound. I hope when we get the new stadium going that the field turf base paths die with the old stadium

He was such a huge X factor in last year's game for Bama... Everyone focuses on the Yeldon run where he juked Cody so badly but it was Drake's long TD run that put that game away.

---

Yep, I started a thread on the Bama rant before the game on how I thought he would be key in running and scoring on OM's defense. I hated to seeing him like that.

Can someone explain the issue with fieldturf?

you don't see it that much on most field turf fields either. I'm telling yall that I see more leg injuries on that field than anywhere else. Hell, the Rebels lost like what 3 or 4 players last season to acl's during practice? Lost a few this year too I think before the season started. I know, I know. Everyone has injuries and acls. If you have the game recorded. Go back and watch Drake trying to cut before he got hurt. That shite ain't normal for legs to endure.

Gotcha. I didn't see exactly how Drake got hurt (thank god) but was it a bad slip or someone falling on his leg heavily?

---

It wasnt a bad slip that got him hurt technically, but he does lose his balance by slipping, causing him to be a sitting duck basically. I am not blaming the field for his injury, though.

I am in logistics and my customer supplied their field and I arranged for the delivery of it. Last season was it's first year.
