CAK turf


Recommended Posts

Don't act like the turf lag didn't bother you. Looks like it's time for the Irish to go ahead with the plans for a dome. Recruiting wars. LOL How long til Webb follows suit?

 

It is really cost effective and prevents a lot of wear and tear on a field when you have three football teams, two soccer teams and two lacrosse teams all using the same field (not to mention the Catholic youth football). At least you all have been able to avoid the "other" football teams from wearing out your real football field.

Now Irish you know the truth is that KCHS had to get turf because you were killing all the grass on the practice and playing fields with all of those "voluntary...no coaches allowed" practices  8-)

 

Actually I would prefer to keep the grass field, just make sure it drained well and was well maintained by diverting all the other activities to other playing/practice fields.  Ensworth probably has more money than CAK & KCHS combined, but they have a grass field.  Of course the subsurface drainage system on it rivals Neyland Stadium.  I'm sure we will get good use out of it and I think it looks good, but I still like playing on grass and getting a little muddy ever now and then.

I do not recall the events of which you speak.......LOL. Someone must have missed/ignored the No Camera Allowed sign on our walking path.

Well...that hairy legged bagpipe lady is very distracting.

I'm with you, FBDAD, I guess that is the old school coming out in us.  Don't care much for Friday nights on the turf when a team can play in white uni's and end the game with no grass stains or dirt on the uni.  But, I guess we better get used to them, it seems that it is part of the trend they call "advancement".

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
