I doubt SS would do this, but it is an option if all three schools (MP included)
would go for the change. I do worry about injuries to both teams playing on the muddy and wet surface in SS.

The Marshall vs. Sulphur Springs game looks like a true mud game with the heavy rains we have today. I doubt
the field will be in any shape for a varsity game by Friday. . With Mt. Pleasant off this week I wonder if SS/Marshall would consider playing at the MP field
which has an artificial surface and is larger on the visitor side.

That would be nice but dont see SS agreeing to it. Marshall didnt fare too well last game in the mud against Monroe Neville. It would be to SS advantage for
that mud to slow down the Mavs overall speed.

I wonder if Coach Harris learned anything from the Neville game? We should see a heavy dose of Haigwood and Davenport in the mud, but that wasnt the case in
Monroe. This coaching staff has been somewhat slow to learn things in my opinion, so it wouldnt surprise me to see Marshall trying to run the same offense they
have every week. Hope Im wrong.

Muddy will not begin to describe the conditions of that field.

This brings up the question, if the field has 50% percent mud, is it safe for the players to be playing? I know several teams in East Texas last Friday night
sought out turf fields not being used in order to play their games. Which I thought was a great move by both teams involved.
I never thought about moving this game to Mount Pleasant for safety reasons? Something to think about. Back in Y.A. Tittle's day, mud, snow, grass burrs, cow chips, did not not stop them from playing. I agree, a heavy dose of Haigwood, Davenport would might be needed. Is there a chance of rain, even for game time? |

According to Accuweather.com, the rain should move out of SS today and return on Thursday. Should have a little sun on Friday, but not near enough if the field is as bad as some say.
