We've had lots of rain recently, and the playing surface was "slippery" last Saturday....

They've got money to burn. Might not work too well when the humidity is 80% and the temp is in the 40s-50s.

Seems like I remember us drying out Dudy Noble before a game one time. I might be misremembering.

Sure, that's the same black helicopters that Saban uses to swoop into MS and steal the best of our Top 10 HS players every year. Just multi-tasking! Hail State!

I had to rotor sweep a few of the smaller airfields, IE Waynsboro, Wiggins to get the strip clean of FOD before.

Hey TUSK I thought Nick just would go out to the middle of the field in his black cape wave his hand and the field would dry instantly.

The local high school here did it for a baseball game 10-15 years ago.
