North Texas tweets a jab at Tennessee's torn-up turf
Tennessee’s torn-up turf at Neyland Stadium was the target of a jab by athletic department members at North Texas, the Volunteers’ opponent this afternoon. Ironically, North Texas nickname is “Mean Green.”
Taking to twitter on the football program’s MeanGreenFootball account, North Texas used this video to show one way Tennessee could have made sure its turf was green for the game.

The past few games at Tennessee have torn up the field with chunks of turf littering the field. Coach Butch Jones and opposing players and coaches have criticized the field.
Jones said he attended an athletic department meeting about the field conditions on Monday.
Tennessee has a Bermuda grass field, overseeded with rye to keep the field green when the weather cools in October and November.
must suck to be such a bad football team
We aren’t really blowing them out…
Heh….that’s pretty funny…especially since it’s true.
GO VOLS beat the Dawgs!………….Wait we already DID!!!!LMAO!!!
Yah!!! you get a cookie….but you still have a horrible field.
We beat georgia
Umm, pretty sure our team played on the same field they did. It’s called “home field advantage” for a reason. Don’t like it, don’t take that million dollar check they wrote you for the ass wippin.
It’s just the fact that UT is a major CFB team in America and you have such a crappy field. Vaught-Hemingway hosts a jamboree the week before CFB starts and I played on that field on the 5th game of the day and the field was still pristine. Shell out a few bucks and get it together. This has nothing to do with who you beat.
Wouldnt really call that an ass whoopin.
take it easy on them; they’re 1-9. if they need to let off steam or shift the blame, give them space. there will be plenty of time for them to dig deep and discover that they are just horrible even in their own conference.
I dont understand how they let the field get that bad. This is the worst that I have ever seen it.
