Practice fields were crap

[hoops156]

the entire field was redone last summer. it was first used in the fall just an fyi.

Complete joke. But what makes it an even bigger joke is the fact that we just hosted a junior day with our fields looking well below average. You just can’t make this stuff up anymore

Considering fields take longer than a day or two or take root, I'm pretty sure all those impressionable juniors got to see pristine fields. The fields weren't installed on Monday.

Exhibit "1" in support of Al Golden's allegation that he alerted Blake James to unsafe conditions on Greentree.

Another chance for our admin and BOT to embarrass themselves in front of the media.

Impossible. I was informed that Snake James was an elite fundraiser willing to provide everything needed for a winning program including, you know, a practice field. Not buying this propaganda.

they redid the entire field for the first time in 3 years last summer.

Did anyone tell the 9ers that our locker rooms an on campus stadium stink too? Maybe they’re interested in using them for the Super Bowl prep.

dont know what happened since the fall (first time they were used, but it could be that theyre just still brand new in that need more time to grow? idk, im not a grass tech person lol. they do practice indoors a lot so who knows. also, what is the NFL standard compared to colleges? ive seen UFs field look like *** in the offseason and the fins (who have an amazing groundscrew) have played with torn up fields when through overuse.

Blake is an elite fundraiser - he just got a bunch of money from SF for the fields they were going to be practicing on anyway

They redid it and it still didn't meet NFL standards.. How bad must it have been before?

Preemptive excuse making by the Niners as to why they're going to lose by double digits.

TOC says our fields have won awards in the past and then got torn up by the IPF construction

Ahh... Chess not checkers.

 

[Fly1]

pretty sure the seasons over guys. it’s a different maintenance schedule in and out of season. fwiw
they know better. probably overlooked

Yeah....sure

 

[Home Slice]

Forgiveable in mid Winter with all the snow and ice covering the fields causing them to be quite muddy.
Sorry, I was thinking about Miami of Ohio.
Us? What a **** show.

 

[miketoro]

What a travesty! Someone should start a gofundme for a billboard to complain. Oh, wait...

 

[Hurricane23]

The field is not crap. Think about it this is the Super Bowl they want to make sure everything is how they want it to be.

 

[TheEye]

Embarrassing. You know one of the SB teams is practicing at your facility and you have a dump for a playing field?! WTF is Blake James, BOT and the President of the University of Miami doing?

Fire. Blake. James.


What an embarrassment.
