I was there every day in 2002 and I can tell you with 100% certainty that the field was not watered down. It was the worst conditions on that field that I can remember, but it was not watered down at all.

It rained like cats and dogs both weekends leading up to that game. The first week vs. Leslie Co the field got torn up pretty bad and then rained on hard. There was some severe weather following that game, remember the Veterans Day tornado outbreak across the region?

Next week vs Madison Southern was more of the same. The weather was bad again that week and Belfry kept the field covered hoping to limit the damage, but that turned out to be a mess because it trapped all that mud and it didn't dry out. It backfired.

I know everyone thinks they watered down that field, but it did not happen and I would testify in court to that fact.

Wasn't there even a helicopter brought in and clown over and over the field to try and dry it. I'm not sure of that but do remember a helicopter over the field.
