...I thought it worth pointing out that Norah Jones is returning to Denton for the first time since she was here at school. We seem to always want to advertise the fact that she was here like twenty years ago, and her face is perpetually on the MeanGreenSports home page.

She'll be playing the Pettyfest (a tribute to Tom Petty) on Thursday, and then will take the main stage on Friday. This is the weekend of the away-game at Rice, and the fest will be centered in and around E Oak St. this year primarily on the Travelstead lot. Also East Side will be having their food truck fest that weekend as well. SO! Ya'll have no excuses for that weekend - come up for a music fest, food truck fest, and catch the game at East Side all within a one-block radius.

Seems to me that if I were the athletic department I would have her covered head to toe with Mean Green jersey, etc.  Hope they really make her feel at home.

Hmmm, one of those nice little green dresses.

Thanks.  Never heard of it.  Guess the change in AD is paying off! ;)

 

?? AD has nothing to do with bringing her here. This stems from long-standing friendships with the guys from Midlake.

Was a joke that now that we have a new AD their promotions are reaching new people.  I tried.

If I go, I'm in it for the Nikki Lane.  I hope Erykah Badu is headlining her day/stage because she's got a pretty nasty reputation for showing up several hours late.  Would suck if she held up an entire stage schedule.

 

I am very much looking forward to Nikki Lane.

I live downtown so I go to Oaktopia and 35 every year since I basically live in them.

As a general rule, I'm not a country fan.  There are exceptions though.  Nikki Lane is one of them. 

Mike Ness brought her along as the opener for the Social Distortion tour last year.  I saw her come on stage dressed like like a prop character out of a square dance on Halloween, and to be honest, I was pissed because the first opener was a gawdawful country act.  

I thought Mike Ness had finally lost it in his never ending explorations of country music.

Then she started singing.  I was instantly in love.  She knelt down, hands shaking, to reach for her ~8oz glass of bourbon on the floor in the middle of a song.  

I knew she wasn't just making up her lyrics at that point.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
