Half my HS graduating class were of Czech descent.  Their parents still had the accent.  My oldest (late) sister married a Czech.  Great, hard working people. Czech women make the best kolaches.   

Many Czechs in the area I grew up were rice farmers and ranchers or.....(like my late dad) worked at Dow Chemical Company, Freeport, Texas.   

GMG!

And, REAL Kolaches aren't those Pig-in-a-Blanket Crap that Shipley's invented in the 60's.  Kolaches are made with Real Fruit...

Amen, Bro'!  REAL KOLACHES!  

My mother would pay good money to local Czech women to make kolaches and another bakery delight which they called a Tea Ring.

 Ever heard of a Tea Ring, NTSUEagle?  Below is a Tea Ring.  Now I'm getting hungry.

Yep, Plumm!  My Grandmother made one waaaaay back in the mid 70's.  Only time she made it.  We preferred the hand-sized ones, since we could eat them quicker!

Nice. Next time be sure to check out the pictures on the wall in the foyers main entrance. There’s 2 pictures of my grandfather when he worked for Nemecek Brothers in downtown West.  The pick was taken back in the ‘30’s.  Slovaceks now has the rights to the Nemeceks sausage recipe.  They do sell it in the meat market.

      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?
