jumper1 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I have noticed that the field is now covered with all new top soil. Seems that they are finally fixing the crown on the field. I have also heard that new drains and a new sprinkler system is too be added. Does anyone know for sure whats going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumper1 Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 The field is now finished....oops...someone forgot the grass! It appears that the new 21 head sprinkler system is working fine on the mud. Anyone have any information on how long it takes for bermuda grass to grow where it is play worthy? The administration seems to think it will be ready for the Ray Correll Bowl on August 24th. Myself I don't think so, I think that Bob Tucker better be calling Pulaski or Southwestern and have plan B in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cammando Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 ^ I'm no expert but it sure looks like it won't be ready to me.. Hope the Jumpers don't wind up like Boyle Co. last year and have to play a lot of road games due to field conditions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEDICINEMAN Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 What is going on at Somerset? Seems as if there is alot of distraction. We will find about the field at the Ray Correll Bowl. We(SWHS) will be the 1st game against Rockcastle Co.:thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCHS_Dad Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Seeded bermuda takes at the most 14 days to germinate. Once germinated the warm season grass grows very rapidly and could be ready to play on by late August. Should be a fast track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not for sure the guys name that supervised the field overhaul, he takes care of UK's fields (so I've been told). He said not to worry that everything will be fine with the grass. The sprinklers are running several times a day, so water is not an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird23 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Lake Cumberland is down 40+ feet. Where are they finding water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AverageJoesGym Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Lake Cumberland is down 40+ feet. Where are they finding water? There's still plenty of water in the main channel of the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumper1 Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 I've not been watering my lawn in support of the Jumpers, got to have that field ready- just kidding. As AverageJoe said, there's plenty of water in Lake Cumberland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumper1 Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 I went by the field today and noticed grass is already starting to grow. Seems that CCHS_Dad knows what he is talking about. Hopefully to more months worth of growing and it will be ready to play on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
