Ohio Stadium Grass Not Cutting It, Again.

Ohio Stadium

After 6 home games Ohio State is replacing its’ field for the second time this season.  It was originally replaced on September 26th after Ohio State’s 28-6 win over Penn State in the third home game of the season.  Now three games later the turf is being replaced again.  Here are my questions:

1.  How can a ‘Land Grant University‘,  with a degree program in Field Turf not have the agricutural skill to create a football field that will last 7 games?

2.  How can the same field need to be replaced twice in one season?

I just don’t get.  There must be a professor of Field Turf Management who knows how to plant some grass.  I don’t understand how 50 years ago they didn’t change the turf on a football field all year, yet they ran the ball probably 30% more.

NLCS Game 6: Mets Vs. Cardinals.

Tonight Julie and I went to the Game 6 of the National League Championship Series at Shea stadium. The Mets managed to force a game 7, winning 4-2. As you can tell by the photo below, I started the solid, yet steady clap that lasted all of the ninth inning which put the Mets over the top. As you can tell in the photographs, I’ve yet to find a place to get my hair cut that I’m comfortable with.

Game #3: Michigan Vs. Penn State.

Michigan Vs. Penn State.Michigan going up 3-0 over Penn State.

Yesterday we went to Happy Valley to watch No. 4 Michigan take on Penn State in a night game.  Michigan shut down Penn State’s offense for the majority of the game holding then to minus 14 yards rushing.  Michigan managed to knock Penn State’s starting and backup quarterback out of the game.  At one point there was talk of drawing random seat numbers from the stadium with the winner playing quarterback for the lions for the remainder of the game.  The game had the second largest crowd in Beaver Stadium history with 110,007 in attendance.

Michigan ended up shutting down Penn State’s late drive lead by their 3rd string quarterback.  Michigan won 17-10 and is on a collison coarse with No. 1 Ohio State on November 18th in what I will call the ‘Game of the Century‘.
