*** Official Drake VS #23 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

MudAmerican Field, amirite?

Not anymore it’s not - the players have erased that N from the field by being tackled on it.

What happened to us? Allowed a td? Bama gave up 17 to the Citadel

My point is everything is always dramatic with ISU, its never stress-free. I fully expect to win big.

 

[Rabbuk]

Gain of 14... Haha

I know we have the best turf guys in the business. I know we have all the accolades for the efforts. I know the weather today sucks. But this is the 4th home game where the turf conditions have been less than postcard worthy.

18.5 inches of rain in 45 days.

It's like we can't afford long spikes. Every crap weather game we play like this.

Can someone run to Walmart & buy the crew some towels to wipe off the cameras?

Pollard’s a great AD but this year has really exposed his weakness in controlling the weather.

Obviously inferi

Defense looks really bad.

Peavy on line 2 for you.

I know it’s December and weather conditions have had a lot to do with the field conditions, but did they stop maintaining it for some reason

 

[helechopper]

Good mastery of volume control there

Glad to see the commercials are in pristine 1080p HD. Wouldn't want to degrade the quality while selling me crap.

That will just scratch up the lenses. Want to make the picture even worse?

 

[mharder]

I feel bad - I have a great connection.

I’m getting a still picture every 2-3 minutes with no sound. It’s like a picture book and I can make up my own commentary.

Not a turf expert, but what maintenance would you expect to improve field conditions once the natural surface is dormant?

I understand it can rain some in central iowa. I know our guys know it can rain some in central iowa. I'm curious if there are ways to have a better natural grass field that aren't domes, or removable sod, or space technology. Drainage, heaters, replacing worn-out turf sooner, etc...

It's called winter. Once frost hits grass stops growing and goes dormant.

 

[helechopper]

If we beat Drake, do we win the rights to the relays? I heard that was in the contract.

Microfiber, duh!

The grass is dormant for winter - not much to maintain.

Glad I didn’t take the over...
