Good Grief. All of this talk about the field is getting old.

For certain:
1. Football games are played equally because no matter what, both teams play on the same field.
2. With the frosts we have had the grass is pretty much dead on that field...I personally walked out on it before the game last Friday and there was no life in that field except for weeds here and there.
3. It DID rain Wednesday when I walked into the hospital because a maintenence guy was trying to drain the fountain before the rain came at the hospital and the cold came this weekend and he didn't make it and it was 2:30 when he came in and laughed saying he almost had gotten finished. It was raining at 5:30pm when I went home on I-75 to Berea still and was raining when I got home at 6 because I had to fix supper for the boys and I looked at the clock to figure when they would be home.
4. That field looked like a pizza that had been turned upside down in a box and shook by the end of the game Friday and since it isn't growing....it isn't healing so any water applied will just soak up like a sponge and sit.
5. The Boyle coaches ought to know exactly how much rain has happened as well as watering that is going on if it is because one of thier own coaches is a gym teacher at the Rockcastle middle school where the field is located. All he has to do is walk over the hill to the field morning or evening. (this might be the spy perhaps??Naw...couldn't be)
6. And most importantly.....If Boyle didn't wanna play in the mud, but, on carpet where their white jerseys are going to get dirty tonight whether they win or not....they should have beaten LexCath, so LexCath could be the ones on here complaining.


My kids stopped by the field after practice yesterday (Thursday) and said it was a little soft (which it is gonna be after last weeks game) but it wasn't sloppy. If we get rain today, it will be a soup pit.
My boys also told me that Boyle's coaches want to be allowed to wear their black home jerseys tonight so they wouldn't get them stained up in the mud and are raising more hell than a pet monkey over all of the accusations listed above. Come on people....get real...it's football. Surely you all haven't been on the rug that long that you can't see that. You are supposed to beat Rockcastle easily anyhow. Let's just play the game.
