Guarantee CPA was not the only place that happened the last few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid TN has had an abundance of rain the past 3 months. CPA tries to dry their field. This topic is a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mud made more tackles than CPA I think its no secret that teams will sometime wet the field just to slow down a team that is more athletic or faster than them.

workinprogress Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 My team plays on the field determined by the schedule. What mother nature does to that field is higher than my pay grade will ever be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading is fundamental Would a team that intentionally wets a field then bring in a helicopter to hover over the wet field for two hours in attempts to dry it? That wouldn't make sense, right? People have seen the helicopter but yet nobody has seen any field wetting... Not even the Lausanne spy crew that was caught at BGA practice last year in the playoffs got footage of this field wetting? Actually, I don't think the Lausanne coaches or players are whining about losing. They all seemed like class acts. It seems to be conspiracy loving adults that weren't even present that are yelling foul the loudest. Davidson Academy's and other mid-state fields were in the same condition that Friday night. On that Wednesday it rained around two inches (snowed in Memphis and Lausanne practiced in it). On Thursday it froze. On Friday it thawed... If I were a Lausanne supporter or fan or whatever, and I actually watched the game and saw them have the ball, first and goal on the 5, run 4 plays and not score without any slipping... I think I'd just tip my hat to the players on CPA's team instead of acting like they got away with something devious. Eric Gray is one of the best running backs that TN has ever seen, and on top of that a great kid. BUT, a lot of people only want to talk about how the field conditions affected him. CPA is athletic and fast also... This is a stupid topic and it will probably continue. Have fun with it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilsonJr1990 Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Oh wow. Had no idea this would still be getting so much attention almost 2 weeks after the fact. As a Lausanne supporter, do I wish the game was played somewhere else? Absolutely, because that would have given them a better chance to win. Do I think CPA wet down their field to make it worse? That thought didn’t even cross my mind. I was at the game. The entire campus was soaked, and the stadium sits in the lowest part of campus which made the field even worse. Yes, the field hurt Lausanne more than it hurt CPA, but at the end of the day they both played on it. Both teams are towards the top in the entire state and neither would get blown out by any team in any division. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
