I do agree that our turf looks poor on tv. Other stadiums just seem more vibrant. Not sure why. Maybe our lighting?

Just watched the game again and the turf looks absolutely beautiful. Maybe you need to adjust the color on your Zenith TV.

Correct. And that issue was due to the athletic department completely disregarding our field managers opinions.

Trolling dueing the season should be an automatic vacation, save these threads for the off season.

The amount of time & effort that has gone into that field is pretty incredible.

Op is just trolling.

This post is proof that you can graduate from A&M and still be completely clueless about how 99% of the world, outside your major, works.

Without an internet search, there's a 90% chance OP can't tell me what the numbers on the side of a fertilizer bag mean, but they come on here griping about the grass.

We're 4-0, looking at a legit CFP run, and you're complaining about the officiation, er, sorry, grass on the field?

Some people are just obsessed and will never be happy.

[/gatekeeping]

Just sayin'.

Anyway I myself haven't noticed, but I'd expect that the quality of our turf would sort of be a point of pride for the best ag school in the country...

i'd assume that we pay an outside subcontractor to maintain our turf. is that wrong?


btw - our field looks great. growing grass in late summer in Texas is hard.

Ha some of yall are a hoot.

Not a troll at all, it's weird that some cant discuss topics if they are in disagreement with them.

It's because the OP is equating how the field looks on TV versus how good it really is.

It's probably hard to keep the grass looking good when a bunch of heavy men wearing cleats and boots are running around on it for 5 hours every other week.

It's all done in house. Nick McKenna is one of the best in the country. I can assure you that it'll be a snowy day in hell before he lets Kyle Field go to pot. These posters are just looking for something to gripe about.

Sure is a great conversation starter by coming straight out saying that something sucks.

I know, right?

I recently got on a neurologist forum and mentioned that the top neurosurgeon in the country wasn't very good at his job.

They wouldn't discuss the topic either, even though I saw a YouTube video about it.

ESPN's video feed for games usually makes the colors look washed out. Almost like a RAW video without any post-processing. Watch the new episode of The Pulse to see what the field looked like freshly painted and at the beginning of the game. The field looks perfectly fine
