It wasn't long ago the Tigers opened the season in an absolute quagmire (giggity) against Oregon State in 2004.

"For the Florida game, Coach said he wanted a lot of traction. He said they were going to grind it out with Jacob Hester.....really pound 'em. So we prepared the field accordingly and gave coach the field he wanted." Haliburton won't go into the specifics of that field preparation, but LSU fans certainly remember Miles got the exact result he envisioned. Hester slugged out 23 big carries, for 106 yards and the game-winning 2-yard touchdown surge on a 3rd and goal with just over a minute remaining. He had already barreled ahead for two, pulsating fourth and short conversions on that same drive, as many called LSU's 28-24 triumph "the greatest game they had ever watched in Tiger Stadium."
"That same year against Auburn," Haliburton says, "Coach Miles wanted the field to play faster. He said he 'wanted to play his quicks'. So again, we prepared the field accordingly. This time, a faster track." Again, the field functioned according to planned. Senior quarterback Matt Flynn passed the ball all over the yard for 319 yards to the Tigers' speedy wide receivers, including the epic 22-yard score to Demetrius Byrd with just a second left on the clock. Final score - LSU 30, Auburn 24. And some quick competition for the NEW greatest game ever in Death Valley.
Really interesting stuff there

Good Article. Its interesting to see the effects the grass can play on a game. Good grass normally goes unnoticed cause its not a problem. Our grass is just great so it shines.

wasn't it in south bend a few years back vs USC where it looked like they were playing in a painted vacant lot?
