McCarthy to Badgers: 'Don't screw up the grass'

GREEN BAY — Mike McCarthy has just one small request for the University of Wisconsin football team when the Badgers open their 2016 season against LSU at Lambeau Field.

"Just don't screw up the grass," the Green Bay Packers coach said Thursday.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Jeff Potrykus reported Thursday morning that Wisconsin will indeed face LSU as long rumored in Green Bay on Sept. 3, 2016. It will mark the second time a UW team has played at Lambeau; the first was the UW men's hockey team, which played Ohio State in front of a crowd of 40,890 in 2006.

A UW official told Potrykus that the game was made possible by Virginia Tech agreeing to move the Hokies' home game against the Badgers to later in the year. That game had been set for Sept. 10, 2016.

UW and LSU are also set to open the 2014 season on Aug. 30 in Houston.

Asked what he thought of the idea, McCarthy smiled and hinted that general manager Ted Thompson isn't really a fan of it.

"I know how Ted would want me to answer that," McCarthy said amid laughter from reporters. "But I'm going to take the high road and say, 'Hey, it would be great to have the Badgers play at Lambeau Field.'"

Grass is already screwed up.

Field turf, with real grass woven in with rubber fibers, which players are falling down on all the time.

Shitty surface.

And BTW, this is another thing I'd do to address the injury situation. Get rid of that slippery bullshit they use for turf. Looks good for the cameras in the playoffs. That's about all I can say for it.

They sold small pieces of the "frozen tundra" for awhile too. People still have that shit. lol

Because of what happened back then, they went with this bullshit that causes players to slide all over the place, even in cleats. I don't like it at all.
