wasn't involved with LU back then but heard that the ground was not good when they built the FOC. Wasn't suppossed to have a basement but they had to go that low to get good soil. any thruth to that??

here we go

By the way, I was simply making an observation, I in no way believe the FOC is going to fall apart. "IF" the windows are cracking it is interesting, but I doubt it.

"IF" the windows are cracking it is interesting, but I doubt it.

I know we have some active board members who can answer this question...

[BigAl57]

has anything been done to correct this? The hole was still there when I was up for the CSU game.

[Chris Lang]

They don't expect to have the practice field back this season.

[Rooster Cogburn]

Bummer! Who do we play with Grass fields? Presby? Coastal?

[TDDance234]

How do you even fix that? It would take an awful lot of filler.

Yes. They've been going over to the old practice field behind Hancock on road weeks but the rain kept them on the turf at Williams yesterday.

@TD: I have no idea how to go about repairing a sinkhole, much less one that size. Maybe I should have taken a turf management class while I was at Tech. Haha.

You mean that's NOT part of their core curriculum in Blacksburg?

[PAmedic]

Maybe I should have taken a auto mechanics class while I was at Tech. Haha.

FTFY

I think the degree you need for dealing with a sinkhole that size would be more in the area of civil engineering than turf management.
