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.
When you are kickin everyones ass so bad every week, the grass is bound to take a beating. Ass kicking is hard work, and hard on the various pieces of mother nature as well.
