So let me get this straight. Everywhere on Planet Earth has certain time-honored proven engineering in regard to excavation and dirtwork and natural turf management...BUT...on a tiny little small area of acreage in Columbia, Missouri, it's all different and does not apply...

What kind of surface do the Seahawks play on?
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, I know.

No idea. Don't care.
Are the Seattle Seahawks rumored to be joining the SEC?

In the past 25 years, only one team has won the national title that played its home games on artificial turf that season:
2014 Ohio State
2014 Ohio State

You are a little too invested in this. Take a break. Have a drink. Visit with family. Anything. Just STFU

So, you boys and A&M and I guess Tejas and I think Iowa State, you all at went back and forth through the years, as we did. But none of us butchered the very ground our facility sat on.
But Mizzou did. They thought "Oh, artificial field turf in the Big 12, so okay, done and concrete it the frick up and we're done forever."
Mizzou I guess is the only one who did that, who's even remotely trying to be a southern program.
They're complaining in this thread about their mythical impossible ground work, but then they created something way worse. They screwed up their field and drainage capability, and then they built their new southern endzone seating over the top of it.

Sounds like they are poors and can’t afford to hire a proper grounds crew nor a company who could make grass work if changed over. They never heard of heated pipes. Never heard of specialized grasses for all states.
Nope, Mizzou is in a plot of the only land in the entire USA that cannot grow grass.

I mean, they prop up the Chiefs guy (by misquoting or just lying about what he said), and he's on the same 39th parallel they are, and he grows the shite out of Bermuda.

Again...
There's zero fricking way any natural turf management guy ever said that in the history of the world

That's actually where the term "running downhill" came from in college football, coming down off the crown. The higher the crown, the more advantage to the offense on running plays. Today they seem to use the term to refer to running downfield.

Mizzou could play near Coldwater Creek and still kick arky’s arse. Have fun with Pittman for the x amount of years.

But what does that have to do with the poors at Mizzou not affording grass field?

Well that makes sense.
But with the SEC media check you’re about to cash why not dig up the sand and replace it with the best soil and turf available for your area?
People do it for residential new builds all the time.
If they can play on grass in Lexington and Iowa City y’all could have natural grass if they wanted to.

We told why that is.
Now, scorunge up whatever change you have left in Mayberry, OK to keep the remaining blue chip recruits from leaving.

You rip up the 1st three feet then place down the proper soil the go to work.
Unless you live in Buffalo or hr have an indoor stadium you should have grass.
Texas not having grass is insane.
They have $ its just being lazy.
The baseball field is the same way out.
Texas needs to upgrade is playing surfaces

They've refused to answer this for 5 pages now

No, you didn't.
You keep avoiding the topic by spouting off ridiculous crap deemed as "accepted science" in the land of excavation/dirtwork/Bermuda Management Failure.
