My bad!  Visit them after we beat them again. They can be kinda inhospitable, win or lose, so make it worth your while. The LSU fans I met at the 2018 regional at Goss were very friendly. Of course, we KTA both games so they didn't have much to be rude about. |

So, what you are saying, is there is plenty of "ignorance" to go around - your Tiger Droppings fans that think it is a matter of laziness and cheap that we do not have natural turf and dirt for a field, and my lack of knowledge of your specific field. Not to mention the delays for lightning, which are an NCAA rule. But hey, no worries. I just have one question for you - will the banjo players be before the game, or during the 7th inning stretch?  Don’t go over to Tiger Droppings. Just don’t. Tiger Droppings is a great place, I hang out there all the time. However, I never post anything, it's not worth it.(You'll get lit up) |

once again you prove to be ignorant and continue to talk about something that you clearly have no knowledge of. the entire foul ground is artificial turf and the natural ground has an underground drainage system that is connected to pumps. So after a rain the water is literally pumped off the field. Keep going naivebeav So, what you are saying, is there is plenty of "ignorance" to go around - your Tiger Droppings fans that think it is a matter of laziness and cheap that we do not have natural turf and dirt for a field, and my lack of knowledge of your specific field.

So, i guess some poster said something about the turf at your home field when LSU played in the regional there a few years ago? Boy how long have you held that in for? No, I'm saying you are ignorant. You are talking about poor this and poor that and you don't even know what you are talking about. Just installing an artificial surface at Alex Box would be cheaper than doing all the subsurface drainage and maintaining the pumping system. Not to mention maintaining the grass However, LSU is an agricultural school, so they take pride in maintaining grass fields for athletic sports. In fact, the reason artificial surfaces are installed on athletic fields is because they are cheaper to maintain. Hence all of the local high school fields are installing artificial surfaces to reduce their yearly operating cost. Who is poor again? |

So you're saying Coleman Field, if the athletic department desired, could have a grass field just like LSU and we wouldn't have any less games cancelled/delayed because of field conditions if we had the same natural grass field as LSU? Even with our exceedingly wet springs? And you're convinced that the turf was installed only because of cost savings of maintenance and installation. Interesting, I assumed it was necessity because natural turf, even with the best drainage systems, wasn't comparable to turf's ability to be more playable in wet conditions. |

Let's just leave it at this. Civiltiger knows not what he speaks of.

Hence all of the local high school fields are installing artificial surfaces to reduce their yearly operating cost. Who is poor again? Reading is fundamental. Posters on your board were commenting on grass and dirt verses artificial turf and synthetic material in general, not necessarily about OSU - never said it was specifically about us. But, what made it comical, is their inability to process information correctly. A lot of people prefer grass to synthetic. I do as well - I get it - natural grass and dirt are traditional. And nostalgic. But better? Not necessarily. Do you drive your model A to the games as well? It isn't about money or being lazy. It is about being practical, and cutting down on rained out games. I guess all of the NFL teams that use artificial turf are being cheap as well? LOL.
By inference, you seem to be ignorant of the fact that we are an Agricultural school as well, and the Willamette Valley is the grass seed capital of the world - approximately 75% of the world's grass seed comes from Oregon. Seed from Oregon more than likely was used to grow the turf at your supposedly vaunted Tiger stadium. It isn't about money. There are places where, no matter how much money you spend, it isn't practical, because of soil type, temp, humidity and overall weather. OSU is one of those places.
Hey, if you are so sure lightning and rain won't delay/ get games cancelled at Tiger stadium next week great! I love the idea of getting out of Baton Rouge sooner, to prepare for the next team we have to beat on the way to Omaha!

Of course the games will be delayed if a lightning storm passes through. That would obviously happen independent of what ever field surface Alex box has. However after the storm passes the field will be ready for play in a matter of an hour or so. The water will be pumped off and play will resume. Pretty much while the players get warmed up again the field will be ready to play. Play will not be delayed because the field conditions are not safe due to the amount of rain. You talked s%#t and I called you out on it then you doubled down on the s%#t talking. Remember you are the one the ignorantly said LSU was poor because Alex box is a grass field. Now I have learned that you were triggered because apparently some lsu poster said something about OSUs artificial field years ago. |

Hey civiltiger since you know all about growing natural grass how many below freezing days does baton Rouge have? How many days in the 40s, 50s, etc..? How many days of drizzle? When you become an expert of oregon weather let us know. Until then STFU.

This coming from someone who regularly gets in dumb internet fights like a dumbass Naivebeav was worried if some rain passed through Baton Rouge we wouldn’t be able to play the regional because apparently LSU is poor and can’t afford an artificial surface. I corrected him and let home know that LSU is ready for the rains if they come, and play will only be interrupted just like if it was in Corvallis. |

This coming from someone who regularly gets in dumb internet fights like a dumbass I'm liking it. I've learned a lot about the weather and the playing surfaces at Goss and The Box. Information I wouldn't have without the comments from people on this thread Eventually, we'll get to games, players and coaches....................patience. |

Is this a hurricane rain situation? If we waited for rain in Corvallis you might as well cancel March. |

What started all of this was my belief that thunderstorms and lightning could delay or postpone games in Baton Rouge. Never did I say LSU was poor, or couldn't afford artificial turf. The only accurate correction you have made is pointing out that the field is designed to quickly drain and be ready to play. Okay, so your ground at Tiger Stadium drains quicker than much of the ground here in western Oregon. Wow, never thought I would get called out for something so monumental. And as far as the posters on your board - it was they that used the words cheap and lazy about facilities that use artificial turf - never used those words, except to share that there is ignorance on both sides.
