Why Murfreesboro?

There's a liquor store across the street.

and Blue Raider book store and a Texaco and another mini-market... and a Suntrust Bank with an ATM...

I thot it was a Shell station.

I would just like it to be known that I have called top bunk, bed sheets, and pillow.

[RoyDMercer]

You can have top bunk, mine is the bottom. Wadata is in the closet.

[goldenboy]

He might even end up in the hallway. lol CBlockers 4 life.

I think the Shell station is around the corner - I was referring to the

little market right across the street at the light on Greenland -

I think it is a Quick Sack????

I will be the first to say that I absolutely hate artificial turf but, with the current format, 5 games in 2 days would absolutely destroy a grass field, especially if it rained, so the artificial turf I guess is the way to go on that.

Maybe Vandy will have it put down soon and the blue cross bowl can move back to Nashville. I have missed 2 Clinic/Blue Cross bowls since 82, and to me, there is nowhere near the atmosphere at Murfreesboro that there was at Vandy. And yes, I was there at Vandy in I think the late 80's, for the ice bowl, where Volunteers had to go out on the field and scrape ice off the turf before the teams could play on it.

It's just a big thing for these kids to get to go to a big stadium ( compared to their own) and a big town, and play in an sec stadium like Vandy's and play for the championship there. I'm sorry if that is downing Mufreesboro but, that just the way I feel.

The only thing that Murf. has going for it is the artifical turf (that I hate, but like I said earlier, with 5 games that's about the only thing you can play it on), There is plenty of parking at Vandy right by the stadium, although they do charge you to park, and I'm sure that if Murf. hasn't started that yet they will.

Of the eight counties that comprise the Nashville metro area, Rutherford County is the second-most populated... second to Davidson.

 

More than 130,000 people live within a 15 mile radius of the Middle Tennessee campus.

I am afraid that isn't going to happen. There has been a movement the past few years to get away from turf and back to grass. Some schools actually use that in recruiting. I actually look for MTSU to go to grass in the next few years. Can you name an SEC school now that has turf instead of grass? See what I mean???

Didn't Ol' Miss go to that new type of turf?

I was thinking that I saw that somewhere, maybe on one of their games.

That stuff really looks like grass, and I've noticed that a lot of schools have gone to it. I think that may be the way to go, if you want artificial turf.

Most are going to an artificial grass. Like on the practice field at Vandy.
