Looks like it just gets slippery, especially damp.
I made the statement the last year of our natural grass that our grounds crew had it in the worst shape I had ever seen. Then excuses began about how the season makes it impossible to upkeep. It was BS. I'm certain the Tech grad idiots from Shaw Industries wanted to get their field put in at GT because, hell, they are idiots.
I had a Miami fan ask me once, in the mid 2000's, may have been 2004, if our field was artificial turf because it looked that good.
If Tennessee can grow grass in the cavern of Neyland, we should be able to grow grass in BDS. We were str8up lied to about the reasons for replacing natural grass with Shaw turf. I'm certain Shaw engineers probably came up with dazzling cost savings numbers and we eagerly set the wheels in motion to replacement.
