This is a freaking joke! Putting down a carpet in Peden is in excusable! These new AD's think their crap don't stink! Knorr is not the answer. They screwed up putting in a brand new grass field last season. Now their spending $600,000 more for a field that lasts only 8-12 years? What happens when the field needs replaced? Do they go back to grass? This a a freraking joke!

I'm pretty sure the contractors screwed up the the turf last year, not the AD's. Sure, everyone prefers grass (insert favorite OU joke here), but the technology behind fake stuff is greatly improved. Looks good, is tons softer, has more give, and causes fewer injuries. Might be even safer than grass because of the irregularities in any grass surface.
I'm also pretty sure that the maintenance of a grass field over 12 years exceeds the cost of the turf field. The cost can be tens of thousands after one particularly muddy afternoon at the stadium.
Do you like anything? Seriously, if you're so smart, what's the answer, and how do we get to it? I'm sure, in your infinite wisdom, you can spell out an easy 12 step program to get the Bobcats to the National title, right?
On the other hand, you might just come off sounding like an idiot, like always.
