The playing surface isn't bad. It was changed to Bermuda a few years ago and has filled in nicely. The crown gets a little bare in dry years but the turf is solid. Billy, Jeff and Tommy are not cooking this year so I hope the Ribeyes are as good. I have not tried them yet.
As to the game, if MC is healthy, they have some very good playmakers. 2 untimely fumbles cost them the Luray game. They did everything but beat Greene last Friday. Those 2 close losses and they could be respectable. I thought the Rams would contend this year but sounds like a few things have gone South.
This game used to be a "marquee" match up but times have changed.
