If turf is what the majority of the people want down there, more power to you. I grew up on grass (and rocks and weeds and mud) playing football. My kids did as well. Now they play on turf in all of their college games and they hate it. My youngest had to get a rubber pellet removed from his eye after his last game this past year. This is on the new, best sort of turf field that is supposed to be the most forgiving and the best thing since front pockets were put into pants. Last year, they lost four or five running backs to knee injury. Can't say it wouldn't have happened on grass. I won't say that it would have because I don't believe that it would have happened on grass. Three times happened during games when the kid planted to cut. I saw them myself. They moved a linebacker with past running back experience over to offense for another running back in the stable. In my honest personal opinion, turf sucks...especially if you were fortunate enough to come up through the years on grass fields. That is a quote from my oldest son. He and his brother hate the turf. Like I said earlier, Pulaski has an awesome field...Southwestern's is alright too....but get a turf field if that is what the majority of the people down there want. Then you all can schedule times on it for football, soccer, band practice, baseball and softball on wet days etc. It won't just be a football field anymore. I just don't see how great of an idea that it is.
