Yeah Spence obviously has an issue and is going to rehab to try and fix it so ripping everything away from him right now probably isn't the best thing. It's only practice, it's unlikely he will ever play again.

This. If a kid has a demonstrated problem, ripping him away from his support system and likely the clean friends he has is a really lovely thing to do in the name of football bushido. He just gets to keep his routine and try to get on with his life this way. I don't care if he ever plays again for us or not; I would rather we give him the chance to grow up and move on from this regardless of if that's on the football field especially after seeing what happened with guys like Clarrett. He had a non-violent drug offense and has a non-violent drug problem. I really don't think coaches at any school should be kicking off a kid in that kind of situation.

PLEASE CLAP

The Eagle is loving up so text:

quote:

A North Carolina-based company will replace Texas A&M’s football field with another natural surface at the cost of $300,000, sources told The Eagle late Thursday afternoon.

The move comes after torrential rains last Friday and Saturday when the Bryan-College Station area was inundated with 4.5 inches of rain in less than 24 hours, leading to sloppy conditions in Saturday night’s game between Texas A&M and Rice. After the game in which A&M won 38 to 10, John Sharp, chancellor for the Texas A&M system, led the decision to make a change and bring in the grass from Carolina Green.

“After the game, the chancellor asked the staff and the Kyle Field redevelopment committee to look at options,” Steve Moore, A&M System vice chancellor of marketing and communications said. “He wanted to know how to provide the best competitive playing surface we could going to forward and that’s what led to this process and the decisions that have been made.”

Carolina Green’s sod, which is being shipped in on 24 refrigerated trucks, has a much thicker sod base than the grass that was installed in early August, meaning it will take less time for it to take a firm hold at Kyle Field. The next game is Oct. 11 when A&M plays Mississippi. They will begin installing the field the week of Sept. 29.

According to Moore, the installation will take about two days, which should give the Aggies ample opportunity to practice on the new surface before their Southeastern Conference home opener.
Aside from the thicker sod base, another reason Carolina Green was chosen is that the company has expertise in replacing fields in-season. Over the last five years, Carolina Green has done in-season replacements for the Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins, University of Tennessee, University of Kentucky and University of South Carolina. Just last week the Dallas Cowboys and Tennessee Titans played on surface that had been installed the week before by Carolina Green.

Moore said that University officials, as well as their Kyle Field redevelopment partners Populous and Manhattan-Vaughn construction did not originally anticipate any issues with the field heading into the season.

“Populous and Manhattan-Vaughn have done a lot of stadiums and they had a lot of discussion about it,” Moore said. “There are a lot of different field experts out there. The prescription they used in terms of getting the turf, selecting the turf, putting the turf down and how it was put down was all well vetted. Had it not been for the rain, everyone is confident it would have worked very well.”

Moore said that there were no discussions about possibly switching to an artificial surface or moving games to other locations.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
VT spent I forget how much money(a lot) and installed some kind of vacuum system that is capable of sucking away hurricane-quality downpour to keep the field from becoming a big sponge like I'm guessing one would be after 4.5 inches of rain in 24 hours, which is a ridiculous amount of rain. I think MSU installed it a year after VT did.

e: it can handle 16 inches of water an hour. I don't know how much water a hurricane pumps out but 16 inches of water in an hour seems like a loving lot.

I think the new field at Kyle has something like that. At least I remember reading about the new superior drainage system or whatever. I think in this case it was more that the sod was put down too close to the game and didn't have time to take root/grow together. It was just a bunch of loose squares of grass carpet.

Our first-time starters (or effective starters) tend to perform really really well. Ponder coming in for injured Drew and Suspended Xavier lee against VT was great, EJ after ponder got hurt on the first drive of the south carolina bowl, Jameis's first start against Pitt. Don't feel too worried about Maguire tomorrow.

I wonder how many of the QBs in your list will get NFL looks. Maybe Trickett if he keeps playing this well, and some coach will probably think they can fix Coker.

As far as I can tell from all the tweets about it, he stood up in a public place on campus and yelled it.

It seems really weird to me that they'd increase his punishment. I wonder if he was an rear end to the administration during the "investigation" or something.

It would seem to imply that there was more to it than simply standing up and shouting something bad. That something more could very well be his attitude during the investigation, or perhaps the shouting was what brought attention to a bunch of other unseemly things he was up to.
