Default What's this "grassy weed" (photo link)

It has been a major pest for me this year, I've heard it called Nut grass,
or Coco grass. It is awful. I hope you get some replies with some
solutions.
I think ours came here with some sand I had delivered when we built our
house.
I pull that stuff constantly and it never seems like I make a dent.

Over the past two or three years some patches of fast growing "grassy
weeds" have shown up here and there on my lawns. After mowing, this
stuff seems to grow two or three times as fast as the turf grasses, and
sticks up noticable in a couple of days.

I'm hoping there's a selective herbicide to let me rid my lawns of this
stuff, which seems to be popping up in more places each year.

Thanks guys,

Jeff
