Any hope for my dead Ohio State Football field sod?

MAXX – posted 21 June 2007 09:58

After the win against Michigan this past November, the fans, including me, uprooted sections of the field turf. I planted mine in a plastic container with a potting soil and sand mix and watered it with some Miracle Gro once a week while it sat under a “plant lamp.” The original grass all died, but within about 3 weeks after the game, I had some new shoots coming up. Then a week later, it all died. I still have it sitting here. Is there any chance to get it growing again inside or outside if I planted it in the ground? Or is it possible to get some seeds from the dead stuff? It is even more valuable now that the natural turf as been replaced with the artificial stuff I’m no green thumb, so looking for some help!

Unlike Michigan turf and its football players, Ohio turf and their football players have a short growing/winning life span. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Give up on that grass or send it to Michigan where it will thrive.
